Howard Products Food Grade Mineral Oil for Wood Cutting Board - 12 oz, Pack of 1

I was gifted a large, 24 x 30-inch, 2-inch thick unfinished butcher-block cutting board. After doing a little research on how to seal it, I bought this food-grade mineral oil. It was very easy to apply using some folded paper towels. It has no smell, and absorbed very nicely. I waited an hour for the first coat to absorb/dry, and then applied a second coat, then an hour after that, a third coat. I've been using the cutting board for quite some time now, and it's been washed countless times (no dishwasher!). The finish is holding up very well. If I were to see any signs of the wood drying out, I'd apply another few coats, but it hasn't seemed necessary yet. The three coats that I applied used about half of the bottle, so I'm prepared for another coating when/if necessary.

Came across this oil when I was looking up how to preserve wood cutting board. The oil worked just as described. I got crazy a bit on oiling my many cutting boards, knife holders, utility caddy, serving trays, still look for any wood items to use these on. I sanded many of these items first before I oiled them. Turn out great.

I recently bought this oil for our stained butcher block counters, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it’s transformed them! It gives the wood a rich, hydrated look and creates a fantastic waterproof barrier for cooking and prep. Plus, there’s no weird smell or residue left behind.

Great product to protect your cutting boards u just need to do it often it seems to wash off after a few washes.

I have a chopping block that had some black water damage. I had to look up what grit to use and how to know when to stop sanding. Used three coats of this oil which absorbed almost immediately. Excellent food grade product I’ll be using on my wood cutting boards.

Great ! Will be getting more for sure

Works great

I've already used oil on my new cutting board. I used the oil to remove labels.I have an old kitchen cart with a wood top that was looking pretty rough. I decided to oil it, too. It drank it up like water in the desert! Looks much better.Added benefit: my hands haven't felt this smooth in years!
