Wooden Board Large | Oak Wood Chopping Board | 350mm Serving Platter | Olympia GM261

Q: Is this board dishwasher safe?

A: No. Putting a solid wood board in a dishwasher will cause it to warp and  crack. Always hand wash and  dry immediately.

Q: What kind of oil should I use to maintain it?

A: Any food-safe mineral oil or a specific wood conditioning oil works perfectly. Avoid using cooking oils like olive or vegetable oil as they can go rancid.

Q: Can I use it to chop raw meat?

A: It's best practice to use separate, non-porous boards (like colour-coded plastic ones) for raw meat to avoid any risk of cross-contamination.

Q: How do I get rid of strong smells like garlic or onion?

A: A simple trick is to rub the surface with half a lemon and  some coarse salt, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and  dry thoroughly.

Q: What are the exact dimensions again?

A: It measures 15mm in height, 260mm in width, and  350mm in depth, making it a great size for main dishes or sharing platters.

Q: How sturdy is the handle?

A: It's very sturdy. The board is made from a single piece of oak, so the handle is an integrated part of the whole board, not a separate piece attached on.

Q: Is the leather tag removable?

A: Yes, the leather tag is tied on and  can be removed if you prefer, but it's very useful for hanging and  storage.

Q: Is this suitable for serving very hot food, like a sizzling steak?

A: Yes, the solid oak can handle hot food perfectly well, making it ideal as a restaurant oak cutting board for steaks or sizzling dishes.
