A cutting board is a durable board on which to place material for cutting. The kitchen cutting board is commonly used in preparing food; other types exist for cutting raw materials such as leather, wood or plastic.

I use wooden cutting boards for most of my kitchen prep, which is often very fruit and vegetable-centric. I appreciate wood because it's the best choice for:
• maintaining a knife edge • long lasting • get more beautiful with time

Step 1: The wash Step 2: The oil
Step 3: The cream Step 4: The Polish and Buff

Wash your cutting board with water, including the underside and edges, removing anything that's stuck to it with a lint-free rag. Most
people only wash the top, and they ends up hurting the board. When moisture reacts with grain, it swells, and if the swelling isn't uniform, it can warp the board. A rocking cutting board usually means that only
one side was washed.

The next morning, use your hands to apply a generous layer of mineral oil to the sides, top, bottom, and any groove, grip or handle. You don't
need puddles of oil on your board, just enough to cover the wood with an even coat. Like a hungover coworker on a Wednesday morning, The wood needs hydration. Let the oil soak into the board for at least three
hours. Leave it on its edge to dry just like before.

After the oil has had enough time to soak into the grains, it's time to apply the cream. Apply it directly to the wood and spread the cream
over the entire board, making sure to get in every nook and cranny. The cream is greasy, so if you don't want to get it all over your hands, apply it with a lint-free microfiber cloth. Once you've covered the whole piece
of wood, you've created a barrier to help the wood retain moisture. You know what to do. On its side. Broad faces out. Let it sit overnight. Frazier Mark | Lifeogy
In the morning, use your lint-free microfiber cloth to rub the board in circular motions, polishing and buffing in a motion that would make Mr.
Miyagi proud. The wood will get glassy and beautiful.

4. Remove the excess. If the board or your spoons feel oily or sticky, buff off any remaining oil with a clean dry cloth or paper towel.
