Never heard of conditioning before today. I am will add this step to my routine

After every use! ;)

i have a cutting board which i like so much i never use it but oil it every week or 2, and any tips on trying to mend a warped board? i know the principle but when i try to fix it i usualy crack the cheap cutting boards (edit the boards that warped and threw away eventualy were all bamboo)

@@tqoliver Same here...

@@boatheWood does “move”, but often moves back. First try storing it with the not normally used side up, or standing on end. Leave it that way for a day or more to see if there’s any difference. If not, depending on whether it is thick enough, it is possible to joint and plane cutting boards, although I don’t know if I would do it on my machine because of any oil and wax that might be present on/in the board. But if it is wood, it can warp, particularly those that are less than about 1 1/2” thick. Good luck!

Thank you!

So, next step is, place your cutting board in the dishwasher, he will come and find you!

That is awesome!

@@MadeInCookware that was my thinking too. :-)

Thsnk you Steve 😊 Your tutorial was extremely helpful. My husband accidentally set our bottom side of our cutting board on fire with our gas stove burner! Do you think we should sand it down & then follow your steps?

Not a good idea. A plumber told me that putting lemons in the garbage disposal is a terrible idea. The lemons dull and damage the blades. 🌸

@@Kindlyone777The pulpy part would probably be fine but I wouldn’t put the peels down it.

My plumber friend said that purposely putting stuff down the garbage disposal is asking for a visit from a plumber down the road. Of course, the stuff that ends up in there gets run, but I now have a sink screen that I let catch most of the stuff, which I just empty into my “organics” container.

I cut them up into chunks and freeze them - the lemon scent is distributed better and it sharpens the blades.

@@XA--pb9ni cutting frozen things does

You bet!

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome! Thank you!

More to come!

Glad to hear it!

Glad it was helpful!

Yas!!

Glad you liked it!

Go Steve, Go!

Rather than ordering a board with rubber feet (and missing out on using that side of the board if I wanted to), I bought five 1 1/2” suction cups that I stick to the counter where the four corners and the middle of the board will be. I cut with it that way, and also when oiling my board.

@@b-radg916 oh wow. That’s genius! Great idea. Unfortunately I’ve already put the small rubber legs on my boards 😞

If you have any poor old wooden handled knives, do them at the same time. I had some very mistreated wobbly handles. Now they are beautiful and better than new.

You can put food directly on it! It should be food-safe mineral oil, so it's really up to you but no need to fully wash.

Dropping one to our email list tomorrow :)

Soap and water followed by thoroughly drying.

Thanks for watching!

No you don't. Mineral oil is safe for consumption. Wipe up any oil that hasn't soaked in before using the board.

Releasing a limited batch to our email list today. Or ping our customer service team!

The butcher block from made-in has two sides, so no need for multiple cutting boards. Follow Steve's cleaning tips and you're good to go!

Food-safe mineral oil!

Both the mineral oil and beeswax blend used here can be bought at most hardware stores for about $10 each. There are higher quality products available online that are considerably more expensive. Wish they would've specifically mentioned to never use scented mineral oil found at a pharmacy!

Hi! Thanks for sharing. We never recommend putting our wooden Butcher Block into the dishwasher.

Can I use coconut oil?

@@fannyhollis1726 probably. I just put whatever oil I’m using at the time on it.

We do not recommend using the dishwasher. This can lead to the board splitting.

LOL

Thicker boards like this are ideal for cutting or carving larger pieces of meat. The weight helps them slide around less than plastic boards or thinner wood boards.
