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)
@@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!
Clear, complete and to the point aside from the short fluffy intro. Nice video! Going to be recommending this video with every cutting board that comes out of the shop.
Steve is so easy to listen to and he explains everything so well. I am a very visual person so watching Steve is my favorite part. I love all his tips and videos. THANKS STEVE!
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.
Great insight on the lemon and baking soda. If you have trouble finding cutting board oil, I’ve found that hardware stores almost always have a supply on hand.
I've just bought my first ever wooden chopping board, (been using either plastic, glass or marble for years) and have been watching a few of these care videos. This video was definitely the best, most complete, most thorough and the only one I've seen that mentioned conditioning. Plus the humour made me smile. Subscribed.
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?
This guy communicates so effortlessly that his words carry a compelling weight. Despite a lifetime of using plastic cutting boards, watching his video convinced me to make the switch to wooden ones
When I oil my boards I set them on painters triangles. I put a ton of oil and rotate them 1-2x at night. They are too large and risky to set them on their side.
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.
Love your work Steve, thanks for the tip about washing both sides to prevent warping. When I'm oiling my cutting board I stand it upright, tilt a bit to add the oil and rub it in with my hands. No need to waste a paper towel or get oil all over a kitchen towel that way! I also just leave the excess oil on there and most of it absorbs overnight, especially in the middle which gets pretty thirsty.
Thank you very much for a wonderful video. Your instructions are awesome. My cutting boards were dry and lighty cracked. Now, thanks to you, they're perfect 🥰
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.
Just use different boards for different types of food. I use wood board for heavy chopping. For meat, fish, onion and even tomatos plastic is OK and easy to clean.
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!
Another great tip for sanitizing wooden cutting boards is to use HOCL (Force of Nature or similar). Leave for 10 minutes and wipe off. It's totally safe for food and even skin contact (used in wound care, for burn victims and can even treat eczema), and a FDA approved sanitizer. Mineral Oil has recently been re-classified as a suspected carcinogen, so I would avoid it if at all possible.
Wow I'm a fan of made in in general but I hope you are not the product designer you keep referring to the flat side to the back when most of the time that the side you should use
That cutting board tho... it's thick enough to level out a motorhome on uneven ground. Filet that bad boy and have two, TWO, cutting boards in one! Call now! Operatorsarestandingby.
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.
Be Honest. When was the last time you oiled & conditioned your cutting board? Take care of your cutting boards!
Never heard of conditioning before today. I am will add this step to my routine
After every use! ;)

This guy is a phenomenal host and presenter. Keep it up.

So, next step is, place your cutting board in the dishwasher, he will come and find you!
Go Steve!!!
Go Steve, Go!
Thank you
Lmao!! I love him. I've learned a good bit.
Thank you so much!!
I always think wood boards look pretty but anxious on how to clean them. This is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this!!!!
Good Stuff...thanks!
Do yall plan on selling cutting boards, I don't see any online
Dropping one to our email list tomorrow :)
I like to sit mine up in the dishwasher so it dries evenly
We do not recommend using the dishwasher. This can lead to the board splitting.
It would have been if he added a pro trip about smells and tastes on your knife
Still waisting those paper towels I see
As an added bonus - after cleaning your board with lemons cut them up and run through you garbage disposal to freshen and clean it.
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
loved all these care vids. “That’s how trees work” is my favorite line from this one
Thank you!
I didn't know you were supposed to oil your cutting boards! Going to do that tonight. Also, bring back the sweater vest, Steve.

@@MadeInCookwarecan I use coconut oil ?
If you came over and smelled my cutting board I would tell you I have friend restrictions…
This guy communicates so effortlessly that his words carry a compelling weight. Despite a lifetime of using plastic cutting boards, watching his video convinced me to make the switch to wooden ones
So that’s why my kitchen smells… ;) thanks Steve!
You bet!
Ohhhhh so that’s how trees work. 🤯 Thanks, Steve!
Love my Made In butcher block. Never had a BB before and it's changed the game

@@b-radg916 oh wow. That’s genius! Great idea. Unfortunately I’ve already put the small rubber legs on my boards 😞
Hey guys! So after I oil my cutting board and leave it for 24 hours, can I directly put food and start chopping or wash it again before cooking
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.
"please like so I can keep my job" haha! the best! Loved this video and all the tips super helpful. Brilliant!

I dont know what kind of oil i should use i got different oils at home but what should i use ?
“That’s how trees work”
Lol, he is not wrong I suppose.
You put vaseline on a cutting board?
Thanks so much for these nice tips and trick, great job, New subscriber here!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Yas!!
👍👍 2, 👍 3 thumbs up. Helpful. I like that you also covered too much & not enough of oiling,...
.....Nope.
That is so cool love it man
What conditioner are you using
That looks like Howard Interior. You can buy it at Menards
Excellent video. Thank you. Is grapeseed oil ok for oiling the board?
Do you need to waiting until the board is completely dry before oiling it? Thanks.
I have a question. How do you get one of these Butcher Blocks?
Releasing a limited batch to our email list today. Or ping our customer service team!
When you mix baking soda and an acid, they neutralize each other and lose their cleaning properties.
I only discovered the channel (and Steve !) yesterday. Love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
I don't know why y'all stopped selling the Butcher Block, but start selling it again and in different sizes!
"Leave it out of the damn dishwasher, I will come and find you!"
Very interesting. Can you do the same with a charcuterie board. Did you use regular mineral oil and what is the name of the condition.
I made a cutting board for my niece and searched videos for cutting board care to send her. This one is the best. Thank you, Steve!
Great video!👍🏽
Glad you liked it!
I just tried this. Worked perffectly
Thank you...Very helpful information.
Agree with the previous comment, thank you🥰
How would you suggest cleaning post prepping chicken: scrape with a knife, wipe with paper towel, salt and lemon juice?
Soap and water followed by thoroughly drying.
THANK YOI FOR ALL OF THE GREAT AND USEFUL INFORMATION YOU GIVE TO ME!🙏✝️☮😇🍽
Won't soap remove the oil protecting it?
Great video, thank you
Fantastic cutting board tips!
My poor old cutting boards!!! Treating them better from now on
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.
Easy instructions brilliant
“That’s how trees work” 💀😂
Just use different boards for different types of food. I use wood board for heavy chopping. For meat, fish, onion and even tomatos plastic is OK and easy to clean.
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!
My plastic boards just go in the dishwasher and the cleaning is done for me.
Hi! Thanks for sharing. We never recommend putting our wooden Butcher Block into the dishwasher.
Thank you so helpful
Love this channel Learned so much over such a short period. Made-In keep this guy. He rocks.
More to come!
Beautiful! Thanks Steve. You showed me a new way to live.
David
Glad to hear it!
7:27 😂🤣😂🤣 YES!!!!
Thanks for this video. I have a question…so you don’t need to wash it again after oiling and conditioning prior to using again?
No you don't. Mineral oil is safe for consumption.
Wipe up any oil that hasn't soaked in before using the board.
wow good jope
Very clear & smooth explanation. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great information!
? ???????
You are hilarious. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching!
When he said conditioned I first thought it was hair conditioner 🥲
LOL
Can we buy the conditioner somewhere? And what would the best brand be?
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!

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