ABC's of Cutting Boards

Which cutting board is right for you? There’s probably a gazillion choices for cutting boards out there. Of course, we think our cutting boards are the best and here’s why. Our boards are basically made from one wide board. Except for the bread board ends, shown here on the smaller board, SlainteHome cutting boards are made from one piece of hard Maple. This eliminates the cracks or seams where food may collect and where other boards tend to crack over time. Whether you choose a board with channels or not, the choice is up to you and how you plan to use it. We use plain old mineral oil to finish our boards. This can easily be purchased as the grocery store or pharmacy. How often do you need to freshen your board with the oil? It depends on how often you use it. A good rule of thumb is that when water no longer beads up on your board it’s time to give it a coat of oil. To clean your board just rinse under a cold tap and wipe dry. If you want to sanitize your board use 1 tablespoon of chorine beach to a gallon of water.
