Be Honest. When was the last time you oiled & conditioned your cutting board? Take care of your cutting boards!

[parkerschellenberg]

loved all these care vids. “That’s how trees work” is my favorite line from this one

[kimcall]

Steve is so easy to listen to and he explains everything so well. I am a very visual person so watching Steve is my favorite part. I love all his tips and videos. THANKS STEVE!

This guy communicates so effortlessly that his words carry a compelling weight. Despite a lifetime of using plastic cutting boards, watching his video convinced me to make the switch to wooden ones

I've just bought my first ever wooden chopping board, (been using either plastic, glass or marble for years) and have been watching a few of these care videos. This video was definitely the best, most complete, most thorough and the only one I've seen that mentioned conditioning. Plus the humour made me smile. Subscribed.

This guy is a phenomenal host and presenter. Keep it up.

[PeterMellalieu]

Thanks! I already used vinegar and mineral oil but without knowing the what, why, how and how long. You’ve really helped me refine my craft! The additional advice about a beeswax based conditioner is helpful.

[joshuakim]

I didn't know you were supposed to oil your cutting boards! Going to do that tonight. Also, bring back the sweater vest, Steve.

Love my Made In butcher block. Never had a BB before and it's changed the game

[mattgunderson]

Great insight on the lemon and baking soda. If you have trouble finding cutting board oil, I’ve found that hardware stores almost always have a supply on hand.

I made a cutting board for my niece and searched videos for cutting board care to send her. This one is the best. Thank you, Steve!

[habotat]

"please like so I can keep my job" haha! the best! Loved this video and all the tips super helpful. Brilliant!

Love your work Steve, thanks for the tip about washing both sides to prevent warping. When I'm oiling my cutting board I stand it upright, tilt a bit to add the oil and rub it in with my hands. No need to waste a paper towel or get oil all over a kitchen towel that way! I also just leave the excess oil on there and most of it absorbs overnight, especially in the middle which gets pretty thirsty.

Added bonus...
You mentioned the board "dancing", and my longtime cure for that is to cut out a piece of non-skid material. The stuff you use to under house rugs on a wood/stone floor.
Just measure it for the board, and "short it" by about a quarter of an inch. The board won't move AT ALL, and it simultaneously vents the underside lessening the chance for moisture to get in there and warp the board.

Another bonus is to also cut out of the shape of your scraper (if you use one) and you can just slide the scraper underneath and out of sight but always have it handy.

Thank you very much for a wonderful video. Your instructions are awesome. My cutting boards were dry and lighty cracked. Now, thanks to you, they're perfect 🥰

[bhough]

Clear, complete and to the point aside from the short fluffy intro.
Nice video! Going to be recommending this video with every cutting board that comes out of the shop.

[SarahKayfus]

so that’s how trees work. 🤯 Thanks, Steve!

[agentbb]

I only discovered the channel (and Steve !) yesterday. Love it!

[keanandankner]

As an added bonus - after cleaning your board with lemons cut them up and run through you garbage disposal to freshen and clean it.

So that’s why my kitchen smells… ;) thanks Steve!
