One of our best selling collections is our extensive range of chopping boards and serve ware. However we often get asked for the best ways of caring for them and keeping them looking fresh and healthy. So today we have a few tips about how to use your new chopping board.
It is generally quite easy to look after our marble, slate and wooden chopping boards as they are very durable and excellent for presenting foods. They are great when used as serving and cheese boards, and are a beautiful addition when displayed in the kitchen area. CLICK HERE to view our full range of chopping boards…
Marble chopping boards are not as porous, with no gaps or creases, so they on the whole do not absorb meat juices and liquids. This makes them extremely good for avoiding the spread of bacteria. Marble is a solid material which makes them very durable, but do be careful when using sharp knives on these boards as it can blunt them.
Both wooden and slate chopping boards are much more porous than marble. To protect the slate and wood parts of your chopping board and prevent them from absorbing juices from foods, it is always a good idea to treat them with a food grade mineral oil, or recommended chopping board oil a few times a year. This will help to protect the integrity of the materials, protect against contamination, staining and add that extra special shine to the surface.
To clean we recommend washing our boards by hand. Simply wash with hot water and soap. Make sure all food is wiped off and then leave to dry. Try to avoid getting any rubber feet underneath wet. We do not advise that you put them in the dishwasher as this can damage or even break the boards!
