Howard Products BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, 12 oz

This oil is great for wood. Im sure youll read that in every other review here... I use this oil for my knives that will come into contact with food. My knives that I carry with me that I may use to cut sausage or peel an apple or to just open a package of something edible. Mineral oil keeps knives and axes in excellent condition and also makes them food safe. I dont need my axes to be food safe but why buy separate oils when one works for both? I have some knives that have wooden handles as well as axes with wooden handles. This oil works doubly well on those items if I should so choose to. I have a variety of items to maintain my tools but its nice to have items that do double duty. This is a great item for the price so why not try it out? Use it to maintain your wooden boards and keep your kitchen knives in working order too.

High quality product. A little goes a long way. I engrave cutting boards and then fill the engravings with resin, sand the boards, and then treat them with this oil and they always turn out beautiful!

Used this product on some cutting boards my grandson and I made at Christmas. Works well

Used to put on my wooden block cart and it worked very well. Very pleased the way it performed .

If you have nice wooden cutting boards or other kitchen accessories, one of the items you need to have on hand to prevent wear and cracking of those items is food grade mineral oil. I picked up a bottle of Howard BBB012 Cutting Board Oil a few weeks ago to treat our new pizza peel and it works great. Application is very straight forward... simply apply the oil directly to the wooden surface and then wipe with the grain using a soft cotton towel (Ive found that paper towels work pretty well in a pinch as well). After application let rest for 20+ minutes and then wipe clean to pick up any additional residue. If the surface is really dried out, or youre applying for the first time, it may be wise to repeat several times to really get a good seal. The result is a beautiful luster when you are done, almost as if you have applied a stain. Rich colors and the detailed grain patterns emerge. There isnt too much to say about the performance, its an oil, so it will make a mess if youre not careful. I recommend putting on less than you think you need. You can always apply more if its not enough! If you have nice pieces, its definitely worth a few dollars to keep them looking nice and ensuring that they will be around for a long time to come. We only have a few wooden cutting boards and this new wooden pizza peel (also from Amazon, see my other reviews), and I think this 12oz bottle will last at least a couple years, maybe longer. **Be sure that you NEVER run your wooden cutting board (or any nice wooden cookware for that matter) through the dishwasher. Always hand wash**

You wont go wrong with this oil. Its perfect for new wood and old neglected wood. My wife and I used this on an 80 year old butcher block we bought at a garage sale. (We dated the butcher block by looking at the local history and when the deli that was stamped on the side of the block went out of business) The butcher block was well used and in good shape but the wood was dry. We coated the entire piece including the bottom and the legs and we used several bottles. The wook absorbed this oil quickly and it never left an oily or slimy feeling behind. It also helped to give the wood a healthy look to the oxidation. It also smoothed out the top as the grain swelled to fill the cuts in the top and the end grain expanded slightly. We use the butcher block as an end table now and we have never had an issue with water rings from glasses and we have no worry about what we set on top of the block. This oil really helps protect the wood as well as restoring the natural moisture. Pros: It helps preserve the wood and expand the grains for a smoother feel Its easily absorbed into the wood. It doesnt have a foul smell or impart any taste to foods Cons: The wood will really absorb this oil You may need a lot of it for new and untreated wood or neglected wood.

Ive used this product for many years. I use this food-safe mineral oil for lubricating kitchen shear pivot points, sealing wooden knife blocks, as well as sealing wooden cutting boards. A little goes a long way!

The lid had a bit of a leak, so Ive kept the bottle in a zip lock bag, but it definitely does the job!

I put on an unfinished wood top of a kitchen island that looks like butcher block as other purchasers suggested. It’s food grade so that’s the primary consideration for me. It does have an odor and is fairly greasy feeling so I’m throwing the cloths away I used to apply it rather than try to clean them

Love love love this stuff! I only have wood boards! Food safe no smell boards look like new. However don’t wait to long between coatings .. it will not bring the wood back from the dead !! I do mine once a month. My small one I use everyday I should coat it twice a month !!
