Product Information

An important step of owning any decent wooden cutting board is that from time to time you will need to seal the surface. End grain cutting boards are by far the best option. They are very tough and unlikely to deform very easily, but more importantly their very composition is actually much better for the blade of your knife. The cleaning is relatively easy. Just use soap, a cloth and warm water to wipe down the board. If any stains have penetrated the surface then give that area a particularly good scrub in a circular motion. It’s much the same principle as sealing a wooden kitchen work-top and is pretty easy to do. As long as you have a small tub of an adequate sealant in your house you can easily seal a cutting board in just a matter of minutes.

However; when it comes to more expensive timbers, like oak, choosing a face grain product is not very cost effective. They are more likely to deform and more easily blunt your knife, and since you’re already paying a premium for quality timber it’s not really worth it.Make sure to wipe the cutting board dry after washing. If the stain doesn’t come out in the first try you should wipe it down dry and then try again. Repeat until the stain is removed.

These boards not only look the part, but they can often help to retain a sharp edge on a knife. One material that’s becoming very popular is oak cutting boards. Any sealer will wear off after a while so re-sealing will be necessary, you can usually see this happening as the color of the wood will begin to fade. I try to use every piece of timber, so the boards do vary in size. They are treated with a food safe oil.

For a good quality oak cutting board you can’t go far wrong with this end grain board from TPA Wood. This helps to prevent anything penetrating into the wood which can cause staining, but also harbor the growth of bacteria. The underside of the board also has four little non-slip silicone feet to keep it steady whilst chopping. Never use a dishwasher, the heat can warp the wood, especially if it’s a cheaper face grain cutting board (although I would always recommend buying an end grain for oak boards). When you look down on an end grain cutting board you are looking at the vertical grain of the fibers.

So applying a cutting board oil shouldn’t change the tint of your board, therefore all you need to look for is a quality oil that’s easy to apply and provides plenty of moisture resistance.

This food grade mineral oil from Howard Products is ideal. It’s colorless and odorless and provides extremely good resistance to any moisture penetration. It’s also very reasonably priced. Unlike some oils you might use on surfaces like a kitchen worktop, oil used for cutting boards is often colorless. Generally, the standard of the grain will fall in line with the price. Face grain cutting boards are the cheapest whilst end grain cutting boards are the most expensive. Oak is generally regarded as a good material for cutting boards. Oak is a hardwood so can withstand the slicing effect of a knife. However; some people regard the large pores found on oak wood as a trap for bacteria growth. Whilst this is potentially true, it can be easily counteracted by sealing and thoroughly washing an oak cutting board on a frequent basis. How do you seal an oak cutting board?
