Before using the chopping board for
the first time
To make it easier to protect your chopping
board against grease and to increase its
natural resistance to moisture, it should be
treated with oil approved for contact with
food, for instance mineral oil or vegetable
oil. Oil once, wipe off any surplus oil and
then repeat the treatment 24 hours later.
Looking after your chopping board
─ Clean your chopping board by wiping
it with a wet cloth or scrubbing it with
a brush. Do not allow the chopping
board to be in contact with water for a
prolonged period of time, to soak or be
moist. This can cause the wood to split.
─ Dry the chopping board carefully but do
not use high temperature to speed up
the drying process.
─ To recondition the chopping board, it
may be rubbed with sandpaper and re-
oiled.
A few words of advice
─ It is a good idea to use different
chopping boards for different types of
food. Uncooked chicken, for example,
may contain bacteria that should not
be allowed to come into contact with
foods that are eaten raw. Utensils
and chopping boards that have come
into contact with raw chicken should
therefore always be washed very
carefully.
─ It is also advisable to use separate
chopping boards for foods such as
onion, fish etc. These have strong smells
that can easily be transferred to other
ingredients.
