How do I properly care for my wooden cutting board?
To ensure your cutting board retains its high-quality appearance for a long time, we've compiled some care instructions for you. After each use, rinse the board with warm water. Heavier soiling can be removed with a mild dish soap. Then, immediately dry it with a clean cloth and place it upright. This allows it to air dry on all sides.
Do not soak the board in water or put it in the dishwasher.
Oil your cutting board regularly—usually once or twice a month—to keep the wood supple and prevent cracks from forming.
Apply the oil evenly with a cloth and let it work for 20 minutes. Then wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth.
FAQ about cutting boards
Is the cutting board dishwasher safe?
+
+
Your high-quality wooden cutting board should never be put in the dishwasher. Heat and a large amount of moisture make the wood swell, and aggressive detergents also damage it.
How often should the cutting board be oiled?
+
+
We recommend caring for your board once or twice a month with a food-safe oil. This keeps the teak rich, smooth and able to protect your knives optimally.
Does the board absorb food odours?
+
+
Yes, a wooden cutting board can absorb odours from foods such as onions, garlic and fish. You can easily prevent this by cleaning your board after use and oiling it regularly.
Why is a wooden cutting board better for knives?
+
+
A wooden cutting board is much gentler on the blade than hard materials such as glass or stone. The surface gives slightly and reduces wear on the cutting edge. As a result, knives stay sharp for longer and need sharpening less often.
This makes a noticeable difference in everyday use, especially with high-quality knives. Our teak cutting boards are made from end-grain wood. The wood fibres run vertically to the surface, allowing the blade to be guided especially gently while cutting.
Is a wooden cutting board hygienic for everyday use?
+
+
Yes, a wooden cutting board is hygienic with proper care. Wood can absorb and release moisture, which helps the surface dry faster. This makes it harder for bacteria to multiply.
It is important to clean the board thoroughly after use and let it dry completely. This keeps it clean, well cared for and safe for everyday use.
Which wood is best for a cutting board?
+
+
Hardwoods such as teak, oak or maple are especially suitable for cutting boards because they are durable while still being gentle on the blade. The surface gives slightly, which puts less strain on the cutting edge.
A teak cutting board offers additional advantages in everyday use. Thanks to its natural oil content, it is particularly water-repellent, dimensionally stable and easy to care for. Our teak cutting boards are made from end-grain wood. This allows the blade to glide between the wood fibres instead of working directly against them.
Does a cutting board absorb odours or colours?
+
+
A wooden cutting board can absorb odours and colours, especially from strongly colouring or intense foods such as onions, garlic, fish or beetroot. With proper care, this can be controlled well.
Clean the board carefully after use and let it dry completely. Regular oiling with a food-safe oil additionally helps protect the surface. Teak is particularly water-repellent because of its natural oil content, so liquids penetrate less deeply.
How do you properly care for a wooden cutting board?
+
+
A wooden cutting board should always be cleaned by hand and never put in the dishwasher. Rinse it with warm water after use and use a mild dish soap if needed. The board should then be dried immediately and placed upright so it can dry well from all sides.
Regular oiling with a food-safe oil, such as camellia oil, is also recommended. This protects the wood, preserves the surface and extends the life of the cutting board.
How often should a cutting board be replaced?
+
+
A high-quality wooden cutting board can last for many years with proper care. Replacement is only necessary when deep cracks, severe warping or very deep cut marks appear that can no longer be cleaned or sanded out.
Small signs of use are normal with wood. If needed, they can be lightly sanded and the board re-oiled. This keeps the board beautiful and functional for a long time. A teak cutting board especially benefits from regular care with oil.
Is a wooden cutting board also suitable for serving?
+
+
Yes, a high-quality wooden cutting board is very suitable as both a cutting and serving board. The distinctive teak end-grain look appears warm, refined and natural. Cheese, bread, cold cuts, vegetables or grilled food can be presented on it stylishly.
Because every board has its own grain pattern, it is not only a practical kitchen tool but also a beautiful element on the table.
