CARE GUIDES
How to clean, oil and store wooden boards and kitchen tools.
Care guides for wooden cutting boards and kitchen tools: cleaning, oiling, drying and storage, plus how your board affects your knives.
What this site covers
Most wooden boards and tools that fail early are not worn out. They were soaked, put in the dishwasher, stored wet or never oiled. A few minutes of the right care each week keeps them working for years.
Our care guides cover specific materials and tools: cleaning a juice groove, teak boards, bamboo boards, the best oil for wooden spoons, rolling pins and salad bowls.
Your board and your knives wear together, so we also cover why knives go dull so fast and how to sharpen a knife at home.
