I heard you were supposed to let it dry upright, but you were the only one who explained why. Thanks!
@SJIsles3 жыл бұрын
But the explanation isn't correct. The reason why you let it stand upright is so that you get a good circulation of air all around the block for an even drying. If you lay it down, one side dries first and that can cause the block to warp.

Clear and concise video. This is about the same technique I use except for the lemon and baking soda, which I will try the next time I oil my cutting boards. I like to use a brush to apply the oil in a thick coating before wiping it down and returning it to service 24 hours later.

1:46 untrue. The rest of this video and its production are all bang-on great but there's no point wasting money. Other oils have been used all across the world for thousands of years before the mass production of rare/labour-intensive items like mineral oil. Similar to how bacteria are essentially "absorbed" into the fibre membranes of a wooden chopping board, leaving them unable to access oxygen, killing them; oil used for maintenance is also "absorbed" replacing the natural degradation of oils already in the wood. It can simply be a case of using too much oil. A tablespoon of high-density oil or fat spread over the surface is absolutely fine. Coconut, walnut, lard etc all work wonders.

Actually wood cutting boards (particularly end grain) have been found to be more sanitary than plastic. Plastic cutting boards get scratches in them that can harbor microorganisms on the surface of these cuts. Wooden fibers have been found to pull bacteria off of the surface of the board and into the pores themselves through capillary action. Many species of wood also have antibacterial properties, while plastic has none. Of course if you are that concerned about it get a glass cutting board as it's non porous and easier to maintain. Glass cutting boards dull knifes much quicker though.
