Use & Care
Use
- Board should be seasoned with a food-grade mineral oil before first use.

- Cherrywood block will darken over time to a rich reddish brown.
Care
- Hand-wash with hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
- Do not soak or submerge board in water.

- Remove odors by rubbing the board with kosher or table salt and half a lemon. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Remove excess moisture with a clean paper towel and stand the board on end to air dry.
