Caring For
Your Fine Culinary Wood Products
NEVER
submerge your cutting board in
a sink of water. Simply use a wet dishcloth to wipe clean and towel
dry. NEVER place in
the dishwasher. NEVER place
aluminum cans or hot pans on the board as they will leave a ring or
burn mark.
Regular
Monthly Maintenance: Rub
entire cutting board with mineral oil or OZ Fine Culinary
Conditioner. Let it stand for 15 minutes before wiping off the
excess oil or conditioner with a clean dry cloth or paper towel.
NEVER use vegetable
based oils, as these oils can go rancid and create a health problem.
Wood
products continue to live, breath, expand and contract as your
environment changes. As your cutting board acclimates, you may
notice glue lines or wood fiber may raise. To make your cutting
board feel new again, rub the entire cutting board with mineral oil.
Using a finish sander and 320 wet/dry sandpaper, or apply hand
pressure and sand in long strokes the length of the cutting board.
The mineral oil acts as a lubricant and won't clog the sandpaper.
Wipe off the excess oil with a dry cloth or paper towel.
Phoenix
Culinary Products uses Franklin's Titebond III waterproof glue, and
clear urethane that when cured, is a food safe non-toxic surface.
ALL
PHOENIX CULINARY PRODUCTS ARE GUARANTEED AGAINST FLAWS IN
WORKMANSHIP.
We
will repair or replace as Phoenix Culinary Products deems necessary.

If your cutting board looks dry like my board, it may have been washed with dish soap and you can see that it really dried out the wood after happening only once. It's important to re-condition the wood in order to put moisture back into the wood.
I use a mineral oil and beeswax combination, like OZ oil from Ozark West. If you only have mineral oil, that works just fine. The lower left image shows that I worked in the conditioning cream and allow it to soak into the wood.
After letting the oils soak into the board, I wipe off the excess cream. The lower right image is the completed conditioned cutting board. I condition our board at least once a month or when it looks dry.
