John Boos Block Cutting Board Care and Maintenance Set: Includes One 16 Ounce Bottle Mystery Oil, One 5 Ounce bottle Board Cream and One Round Applicator

It was Christmas time and I was in charge of the charcuterie board, for 20. I found and ordered the perfect board on Amazon and upon receipt I discovered you should prepare the board, first, I found this kit and had enough time to order it before use. I received the kit the next day. Easy to follow instructions made it simple. A couple of paper towels made it quick. I used the oil to coat the board and left it out for a day. I was surprised, but not really, how much oil it absorbed. I used paper towels to wipe it down and used the sponge to add the wax coat. After another day, I used paper towels to buff it to a really nice sheen. All completely food safe and I would not hesitate to use it on any of my wood utensils.

I have a new favorite hobby. It’s re-moisturizing dried out wooden things in our house! This Boos block works amazing and everything is returning to beautiful glossy wood! All my wooden spoons and cutting boards and butcher block counter top and even some chairs! This product works very well!

Once a month, I oil and wax my John Boos Block, since its a really large cutting board, quite expensive, and its important to protect it and take care of it. The essential mystery oil goes on easily, penetrated the wood and wipes off nicely. Whatever oil theyre peddling seems to get the job done. The board cream (wax) was tough to work with. Its hard to squeeze out of the tube (and good luck getting it all out!), and goes on thick, with a lot of wasted product when you wipe it off and inevitably go through about a dozen paper towels before the surface isnt still noticeably waxy. I switched to Clarks cutting board wax with round applicator and I have a MUCH easier time applying a thin even coat with almost no wasted product. I highly recommend Clarks over John Boos for the board cream, but the John Boos cutting board oil is perfectly fine and inexpensive and should last quite some time.

This three piece application treatment of all wooden cutting boards & chopping blocks is miraculous in its ability to bring the damaged wood back to its original finish. The steps are simple to follow & bring fantastic end results.

Easy to use and good results

I have used these for years and this was a reorder. Pleased with purchase.

Its a gift.

Ive got two Boos cutting boards; one huge one thats 3 thick and a new one thats 1 thick. The huge one developed cracks between the laminations so when I bought the new one, I bought this stuff, too. Although Ive used Boos Mystery Oil on the old one, it didnt seem to help--its basically mineral oil with antimicrobials added to it. Im hoping the Board Cream (mineral oil and beeswax) will fill in the gap in the large board and keep it from splitting further. Overall, the price is too high for what it is but if itll keep these outrageously expensive cutting boards from becoming firewood, Im good with it.

I have had a large Boos Butcher Block and three table top blocks for 47 years! I always use the Mystery oil and Board Cream to keep them looking like new, water resistant, and simply beautiful. In addition, Boos Customer Service is also Fantastic!

Really great products. They brought my butcher block and cutting board back to life after many, many years of never having been treated in an arid environment. Highly recommend. The only catch is that you have to leave the oil to sit overnight and then leave the wax to sit overnight for another night so, its kind of a commitment to do this once a month. Worth it, but good to know.
