How to oil cutting boards and wooden spoons?
Wood will dry out over time, so protecting those things with oil is a good idea. Mineral oil is recommended when I search, but is that a good idea considering you'll be consuming a little of whatever oil you use as you use your boards and utensils? Other oils will turn rancid after a while, although it seems refractionated coconut oil might not. What are your findings or feelings and how do you maintain your wood? Mine is dry and thirsty.

I like mixing oil with melted beeswax. It seems to stay better that way.

I was going to ask and this reminded me. I have DH's grandmother's old wood rolling pin. It looks a bit rough, probably been a good decade since it was used. Should I do anything special to care for it?

Using the right oil will be good to preserve the rolling pin, MegMarch. I have my grandma's and should add it to my list of things to oil. :)

I've read to use mineral oil but I haven't done it in years.

They clean up just fine w/o it. The cutting board I use the most is bamboo. That one has never been oiled.
My wooden one hasn't been oiled in years. After using it, I wash it with hot soapy water and let it dry. If I think it needs it, I rinse it with boiling water. I'm reading that, if you don't oil them, they'll dry out and crack. Mine haven't. :shrug My biggest cutting board is over 20 years old. But maybe I'll oil them this week. |
Re: How to oil cutting boards and wooden spoons?
I have a bamboo cutting board, and I think the instructions that came with it said to use olive oil. I haven’t done it in a long time. I do avoid using that one for meat- cooked or raw. Just fruits, veggies, cheese.

I'm thinking about how I use mine and I've never put raw meat on my cutting boards. I rarely cut raw meat and, if I do, I do it on a plate or platter and put it in the dishwasher. If I have a big roast, I scrub the cutting board really well with hot soapy water and then pour a teakettle of boiling water over the whole thing.
I should oil, them, too. Maybe today. We're stuck inside because of smoke. :( |
