Question:
I enjoy your website and I have one
question for you. I am actually making an end-grain cutting board for
myself, and I need to cover it with some sort of oil to seal it. I was
wondering if you knew which oils and such would best suit this purpose?
Also, what do manufacturers of these boards usually use to seal their
boards? Thanks in advance if you know. And thank you anyways if you
don't! - Nick (11/8/01)
Answers:
Mineral oil is used to
seal cutting boards. It is "food-quality" mineral oil. In other words,
you buy it at your local drug store. It is very cheap. This is what
manufacturer's of boards use.
