ᐅ Special Care for High-Quality Cutting Boards

Hello,

I have the following problem: the day before yesterday, while cooking with my family, I accidentally stained my high-quality cutting board with paint. It wasn’t the kids—it was me. How I managed to do that is a mystery to me. In any case, the stain can no longer be removed. At least I found an identical replacement board. What I want to avoid at all costs now is having this happen again. Therefore, my question is whether there is any way to specially care for high-quality cutting boards so they last longer and, for example, are resistant to certain types of acids, food coloring, etc. I was thinking of a special oil or something similar but haven’t found any information about it.

Does anyone here have experience with this or know more?

Thank you in advance for your answers and best regards

Then the board will just be colorful, which should not affect its functionality.

Otherwise, regularly oil the board with food-grade oil (e.g., linseed oil). I always use olive oil even though my board manufacturer explicitly advised against it because it can possibly turn rancid, but I have never noticed this.

Linseed oil is the preferred option. The advantage is that it dries very quickly. Apply a thin layer, let it dry, and repeat the process 2-3 times.

Best regards, Sigi
