How to Care for a Wood Cutting Board
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2022
- The most important part of owning a wood cutting board is routine care. Doing so will ensure it serves you well for many years. In this video, I'll show you how I care for my wood cutting boards using mineral oil & beeswax and I also share some general what to do/what not to do's with a wood cutting board.
I used to include care instructions with each board I sold but recently thought "why don't I just make a video showing how to do this instead?" I hope you find it helpful. Here are some links to the products I used:
Clark's Oil/Wax applicator kit: amzn.to/3V3VDF3
Clark's 1 gallon mineral oil: amzn.to/3V3W9mt
Clark's 32 oz. beeswax: amzn.to/3EnT4aU

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
🙏🙏
I have nothing to say either, but also wish to boost the algorithm
@@darodesme neither. But I hope to boost both his and my algorithm 🙂
I'm not sure how I ended up here, live in a small condo and will never be doing woodwork, but as others have already said, this video is amazing! I do stained glass as a hobby and this really summarizes all the 'hidden' time and steps that many may not be able to appreciate. Awesome products you're creating there and nice to see Canadian content. Greetings from Calgary.
This is always my go to video to watch every now and again to make sure I'm still doing it right 😊
me rn
Thanks! Short and straight to the point with no BS....great video!!
JUST love ur chopping boards and now I know how to look after them. thank u.
Great information and clear, to the point, instructions.
Exactly Right on the Happiness and Joy! Never knew a Wood Cutting Board would do that for me. So ecstatic that is does this everytime I walk in to my kitchen. Thanks for the tutorial.
I was looking to get a wood cutting board, answered all my questions thanks!
The next video he was previewing at the end had me hittin subscribe...... 5* on this one. I am about to invest in a good board or two. I'm buying for quality so that I can pass this on down into my family by generations. Thanks Bud.
Great video! Answered all my questions. Thank you!!
You are always perfectly concise. I love your videos.
Thank you
I just bought a new board and I said to myself let me see if there is any new techniques for boards? Ran across your video. I looked at your sight you do great work! I’m buying one of your boards for my bday in July only cause I just got a new board. But great looking stuff!!
Lots of useful tips. Thanks!
Muchísimas gracias por tu enseñanza. y exitos en tu empresa.
Always a pleasure to watch great tips to

Hi Ryan, hope all is well!!! Great video and info!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 👌
Life is good my friend!
Thank you for the great tips 🙏
Thank youuuuu for the great video!
Awesome video. Thanks for your time and helpful instructions and sanitation tips.
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy your videos Ryan
thank you for the tricks .
Thanks for the video!
Good tips. Thanks
Великолепный контент и прекрасные изделия.
Удачи.
Wow, found this video on my UA-cam home page and remembered that I haven't cleaned nor oiled my cutting board in over two years. Maybe longer! As soon as I get home tonite ...
Thanks!
Great info. Thank you. 😁👍
No problem🙂
Waa keren banget dan sangat jelas mudah di pahami penjelassnnya
Very informative, thank you! I like the idea of a metal handle on the cutting board (the grooves never work that well for picking a heavy board up, at least not with my arthritic hands). Can you point me to a retail/online source for simple sturdy handles that won't mind getting washed along with the cutting board? Stainless steel or ORB would be good.
Thank you, I was wondering what the best method for sanitizing after cutting meat with a nice wooden cutting board! Appreciate it.
vinegar is usually suggested
What is your preferred choice? Just oil? Or the oil and wax combo?
I have a chinese round chopping board - it's just a slice from a tree, about 10cm deep and about 50cm across. I've watched Chef Wang's video where you soak it in salt water for a week, then he heats oil to 200 degrees, and pours it on the still wet board. But the video is in Chinese and he doesn't say what oil to use. In this video you say 'Food Grade Mineral Oil,' but I've seen loads of people saying that's not good for the round tree boards. I just thought because you know your wood, you might know your oils??? Thanks for the content, love it.
Good video. What do you think of tung oil on cutting boards? Another YT did a comparison with mineral oil and it seemed tung oil was way better and lasted longer. Maybe he or I am missing something.
After waxing and staining do I need to wash it before using it or it ready to be used after it dries?
I assume it is exactly the same process for a solid oak kitchen worktop? I usually use Danish or Tung oil (not nearly often enough) but this seems a lot simpler. Great channel BTW
I would follow the same process. I like pure tung oil as well but it’s a hardening oil that takes several days to go through the proper application process whereas mineral oil is non drying and is simply quicker to apply
Once beeswax application is done, is it ready to use, or does it need time to set/dry?
Can the rags used to spread the oil/beeswax be washed in the laundry? If not, what is the proper way?
Would you recommend any soaps? Any soaps to stay away from? I’m generally of the mindset that Dawn or any degreaser is a no-go
Clark’s makes a good cutting board soap
I purchase a really nice wooden chopping board of costco for a great deal they are on special and leansaid oil
Any thoughts on using a weak water / bleach solution?
I keep a kitchen towel in a1 gallon stainless steal steam table insert pan in the sink with about 1 oz of bleach to 1 gallon of warm water whenever I am preparing meat to clean hands, kitchen utensils and prep surfaces.
I’ve never tried it but I don’t see a more diluted bleach solution being an issue. Straight bleach is what I’d stay away from.
To sanitise my board I use 3% hydrogen peroxide when I wash it up. I use the same oil and wax as you 😊
Ok. So I am frustrated Ryan. Because I have a urethane varnished kitchen counter and I cannot find any video that explains how to get old or new stuck on residue cleans off. I recently moved to this house and stupidly tried to clean some stuck on food with plastic scrubbie and cleaners of various sorts and wound up removing the varnish and the goop and /or stain was still there!!! OMG. Heartbreaking.
Can you please advise what to do? Even scaling with plastic spatula takes off the urethane?!
At 4:12 did you say you can over do it? Or can’t over do it?
You can't over do it 🙂
How do I benefit from old plywood panels of different sizes?
So then what do you use as a cutting surface for serrated knives?
I have an inexpensive wooden and “plastic” cutting boards that I use for my serrated knife when cutting bread and meats.
👍👍👍
if there are deep cut marks can you sand it down to get rid of them?
For sure you can
Mantap , pak 🙏🙏🙏 salam sukses ,,, selalu ya 🙏 ❤️❤️
Thank you!
This might be a dumb question.. but does new cutting boards that are preoiled need to be washed before using? Im new to wood cutting boards and can't find this answer
Not dumb at all, my answer is no, they are good to start using right away.
Can you use Japanese Camellia Seed Oil on a wood cutting board? I use these on kitchen knives.
Hmm, I'm not familiar with that product.
So after every use, do you re-oil and wax or just re-oil?
I would just re oil, the wax is not needed as often
Is linseed oil okay or should it be Mineral Oil?
You could use linseed oil
I've seen some good results with tongue oil. What's your take on it?
I’ve used pure tung oil on furniture and I liked the result but due to the application process (multiple coats, 24 hours drying in between), I’ve never tried it on a cutting board.
@@ryanhawkins good points, I haven't done boards in many quantities and didn't take the dry time into consideration. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work.
Food grade mineral oil is petrol, mmm, yum.
How often should a person implement this process to a cutting board?
Depends on usage - minimum once a month but if used daily I'd recommend every 2 weeks. You can't really over do it.
@@ryanhawkins
Thank you very much!
I just shared this with my sister so she doesn’t ruin the boards I’ve given her.
You dont need to oil the sides of the cutting boards?
Yes, you sure do, I'm sorry I didn't show that
4:52, That's what she said.
How do I go about buying a board from you?
Simply head over to my website - westcoastboards.ca
won't soap remove all the oil protecting the board?
Gradually, yes, which is why it's important to routinely oil/wax a wooden board
@@ryanhawkins well yea, but you're not going to do that every time you wash it, no?
Not everytime you wash it, no, that would be a little much. But every couple of weeks to once a month depending on use and depending on use you might not even wash it with soap each time. Say you're just chopping some veggies, not really necessary to give it a full soap treatment after.
Any mineral oil sold in the grocery or drug store is food grade. I find commercial preparations for cutting boards to be a ripoff. OTOH, that is a really nice board.
Too much to do to take care for it 😅 maybe I will just get a plastic one 😅
I think I'll just get a plastic one. I can put it in the sink and bam! Done. This is why my mom didn't want me to make her a wood cutting g board in school I guess
They’re nasty….and not environmentally friendly
@@DVelez-wz3fe oh boy. Heard another one.
Which is the right side to cut on? My brother in law swears you don't cut on top of the side with the juice grooves??????
Can i ask, are you worried about the soap seeping in? Dont you need to rinse the soap off?
damn son. you look like a walmart paul rudd.
Plastic it is, already got enough monthly tasks i have to worry about it, not tryna add stuff that isn’t necessary, i love simple
And use a separate board for chicken!!!
Geez I should be put in jail for how I’ve been “caring” for mine
Mineral oil is bad
They don't even wash dishes anymore... wooden boards and cast iron is for people with time.
Who’s they
Overcomplicate,so I'm going plastic
True, but I hear plastic boards are dangerous to our health...
@@elizabethsydnor5247 you think?
I’m first
Would you send me one of your boards as a house warming gift :)
The best way to care for a fancy wood cutting board is to leave it at the store, buy a thick shatterproof glass board that can be put in the dishwasher when you're done, and there are no toxic ingredients to worry about consuming.
NEVER TRUST A COMPANY that uses terms like natural food grade ingredients. They are lying to you to get your money.
If the ingredients were truly non toxic, they would list them on the packaging.
Imagine believing that wood coated in oil and beeswax is toxic. Glass is a horrific material for cutting boards. It destroys knife edges. This is horrible advice.
Is that sarcasm?
bruh
I accidentally let a lot of water get onto my beautifully made end-grain board prior to ever treating it with wax and oil and now it's warped. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it flat again I'm hoping? Thanks!
Next time o rough talk somebody, I'm gonna tell them they're rancid!!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
👍👍👍
Great name
