Cutting Boards

Bamboo cutting boards have grown in popularity because Bamboo is actually a grass, not wood, and is one of the fastest-growing plants. It’s easy to grow making it a sustainable, highly renewable resource. Bamboo cutting boards have a particularly hard density, so they resist retaining water. To preserve your wood cutting board or bamboo cutting board, it is important to season it with food-grade mineral oil or cream (sold separately) before first use and then once a month to help prevent cracking and drying. You will need food-safe mineral oil or any other formulated board oil or cream. If you don't have any of those on hand you can use coconut oil, which is the only recommended cooking oil to season because it has a high melting point. To prevent cross-contamination, it is recommended that you have a cutting board for raw meat and another for everything else. If you like plastic cutting boards, we have them in different thicknesses. We even have plastic cutting boards sets labeled for meat, chicken, vegetables, fish. Plastic cutting boards can be washed in the dishwasher, but wood or bamboo cutting boards are not recommended for dishwashers. The heat and the excessive contact with water can cause them to warp and split. Wood or bamboo can be washed in warm, soapy water and immediately dried, without letting them soak in water.
