Cutting board care instructions

Care instructions for your MISAKI cutting board

A high-quality wooden cutting board is not only a practical kitchen utensil, but also a durable piece of nature. To ensure your MISAKI cutting board retains its beauty and functionality for many years, we recommend the following care instructions.

Cleaning: Please only by hand

Always rinse your board after use with warm water and, if necessary, with a little mild detergent.

• Never put in the dishwasher
• Do not soak in water
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents

Immediately after washing, dry the board with a clean cloth. Then place it upright to allow it to air dry all over.

Oil regularly for long-lasting protection

To prevent the wood from drying out and cracking, you should oil your cutting board once or twice a month .

Here's how:

• Use a food-safe maintenance oil such as pure mineral oil or a special cutting board oil
• Apply the oil evenly with a soft cloth
• Let it absorb for at least 20 minutes
• Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth

What to do if it is deformed?

Wood is a living material. Moisture or one-sided drying can cause it to warp slightly. If your board becomes warped, you can easily straighten it:

• Place the board with the curve facing upwards on a flat surface
• Weigh it down overnight with a heavy, hard object
• The wood should then realign itself

Remove scratches

Small cuts and signs of wear can be easily smoothed out:

• Carefully sand the affected area with fine sandpaper (e.g. 240 grit)
• Then clean the board thoroughly
• Re-oil it as described above

Further information

• Avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight
• Do not use the board to cut hard bones or as a striking surface
• Clean it especially carefully after contact with raw meat or fish
