Rep Power: 10  |  Wooden Cutting Board
Help, please. I received a new wooden cutting board, that someone made for me.
What is the best oil, or method, for preparing it for use?

Rep Power: 10 | Quote: Mineral Oil
 Mineral oil has medicinal uses but its main use in the kitchen is to saturate your cutting board and other wood items to make them water resistant. Unlike vegetable oils, mineral oil will never go rancid or dry into a varnish.
Made from the same basic feed stock as diesel fuel and gasoline, mineral oil is refined until it is water clear and safe for human consumption - but it's indigestible and should never be used for cooking. Basically, it's a liquid form of vaseline. Find it at a local pharmacy or in the medicines section of your local supermarket. SOURCE | Ummm ... Yum!

Rep Power: 1 | Found mine right with the cutting boards, had to look close wasn't a very big bottle, it was a form of I thought linseed oil made just for the cutting board. I have used peanut oil to refresh mine clean it with lemon and salt, them a light coat of oil.

Rep Power: 10 | Thanks! I'll give it a try. It's so pretty, tho, that I hate to even use it.
