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'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.

@Sharkie2004 8 месяцев назад

What is your preferred choice? Just oil? Or the oil and wax combo?

@heikedeubner9073 4 месяца назад

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.

@DangerfieldChris 2 месяца назад

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.

@tomwood5247 Год назад

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

@ryanhawkins Год назад

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

@RC-qf3mp 7 дней назад

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.

@chouamclean4844 4 месяца назад

After waxing and staining do I need to wash it before using it or it ready to be used after it dries?

@jojones9194 Год назад

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.

@ryanhawkins Год назад

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.

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?!

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.

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

@estesdavis5876 11 месяцев назад

How often should a person implement this process to a cutting board?

@ryanhawkins 11 месяцев назад

Depends on usage - minimum once a month but if used daily I'd recommend every 2 weeks. You can't really over do it.

won't soap remove all the oil protecting the board?

@ryanhawkins Год назад

Gradually, yes, which is why it's important to routinely oil/wax a wooden board

@sbb526 Год назад

@@ryanhawkins well yea, but you're not going to do that every time you wash it, no?

@ryanhawkins Год назад

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.

@truthseekerKJV 9 месяцев назад

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.

@MrBones105 9 месяцев назад

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.
