Walnut Large Cutting Board

Featuring beautiful contrasting grains, walnut is just what you want in a wooden cutting board. Known for its exceptional density and durability, it can withstand the impact of cutting tools and resist deep knife scratches better than softer woods. And, walnut’s natural antimicrobial properties can help inhibit the growth of bacteria which is crucial for cutting boards that come into contact with raw meat and produce. Best of all, our Walnut Cutting Boards will (when properly cared for) last longer than their plastic counterparts. That’s good for you…and good for the world.
Features:
• Not your usual hardwood board, our premium walnut boasts a rich, dark color and is extraordinarily durable, withstanding the impact of frequent use, resisting knife marks, and remaining functional for a long time
• Natural antimicrobial properties – really! – help inhibit the growth of bacteria, contributing to a cleaner, safer cutting surface
• Thanks to its density, walnut minimizes the visibility of scratches – thus reducing the chance of deep crevices that could harbor bacteria
• Walnut can actually self-heal, closing its grain when exposed to oil, when cared for properly. Additionally, its dense structure helps repel stains over time
• The wood has a mild, pleasant aroma and is naturally resistant to absorbing food odors

Care Instructions: Before first use: Wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry completely. Then apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the board and let sit for a few hours to absorb into the wood before using.How to clean: After each use, scrape food particles off your board or plate before washing both sides with hot, soapy water and a clean sponge. Pat dry immediately with a clean towel or paper towels and stand upright on your kitchen counter to dry completely. Do NOT put it in the dishwasher. Do NOT use bleach, which could stain wood and dry it out. Do NOT leave the board or plate soaking in water. Do NOT store in high-humidity environments, which may cause warping.How to sanitize and remove odors: For added sanitation or to remove odors, create a paste with a mixture of coarse salt and lemon juice and scrub the board or plate with it. Let the salt-lemon mixture dry on the board, and then scrape it off using a metal spatula. Rinse with hot water and dry immediately with a clean towel or paper towels. You can also spray with a 25% vinegar and 75% water solution. Allow it to dry completely by standing it upright on your kitchen counter or in a clean dish rack.How to maintain: Oil your boards and Bistecca plates periodically to keep them from drying out and cracking. Wash and completely dry your board or plate, apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to both sides, and spread it using a pastry brush or paper towel. Let the oil saturate the board completely by placing it on a rack or standing it upright in a well-ventilated area. Allow it to sit for a few hours so the oil absorbs into the wood. Store the clean, oiled board or plate in a cool, dry place once it is dry to the touch. Note: Do NOT wash with soap and water until all the oil penetrates into the wood.
