How Do You Maintain a Wooden Cutting Board?

Applying food-grade mineral oil or board butter once a month helps hydrate the wood fibers and can reduce the risk of cracking or warping. Always hand-wash wooden surfaces with warm soapy water and dry them upright immediately after use to prevent moisture absorption.

When Should You Replace a Plastic Cutting Board?

Plastic boards should be replaced once deep knife grooves or rough gouges develop on the surface. These deep crevices can harbor food particles and bacteria that ordinary dishwasher cycles may struggle to sanitize thoroughly.
