Is this oil safe to use to oil wooden cutting boards and wooden cooking utensils?

It's safe but I don't know if it's better or more effective than some oil made specifically for treating wooden kitchenware. It's non toxic, odorless, tasteless and antimicrobial ... but it's a water soluble glycerin rather than a water resistant oil so I wouldn't think it would be a very effective wood treatment product. The internet tells me people use mineral oil and beeswax among other things for treating wooden kitchenware.

Since it has a standard durability coating and it is carbon instead of stainless steel, I don't see why you couldn't use it. For the purpose of corrosion control, you could use almost any fluid oil, BUT if you will be using the blade for food prep, I would definitely use a food grade oil product.

It doesn't matter the manufacturer or type of wood, as long as the wood is uncoated this sealer will be absorbed shallowly into the wood grain and keep moisture and flavors out. I've used it on maple, oak, hickory and pine with great results. This is not varnish, it's a food safe temporary shield against everyday cooking hazards for wood. One bottle will last more than a year (probably three) for just one cutting board. I am not a professional, just a hobbyist with lots of family that likes to barbeque and cook.

I would use organic coconut oil and a little organic bees wax melted together. Just rub it in well and buff. That's what I use on my cutting boards and it helps to preserve the wood.

Mineral oil that's specifically made for wooden cutting boards and wooden utensils. There's a product that's a combination of beeswax and mineral oil that's fabulous. The beeswax helps fill porous or rough spots. Sand and clear coat.

I used this oil for everything I love it your food is so flavorful. I would use it in a deep fryer

I understand the oil is like the shampoo and extends the life of the cutting boards. The cream is like the conditioner and seals the top coat of the wood surface. I use it faithfully. My cutting boards are still beautiful. Hope this helps.

I've been having good results by using vegetable cooking oil for my kitchen knives. Additionally I rinse several times during sharpening to keep grit down. It's a cheap stone so I don't care if the oil breaks it down or anything.

We always use olive oil in our cookware. Even though it is a non stick surface we feel that using oil will preserve its life. We really like this cookware.

I don't see why not. It is a wax and won't hurt anything. I used this stuff on everything from cutting boards to my maple island, soapstone countertops to outdoor furniture and even my house trim indoor and out)..... anything wood. Wonderful stuff.

The oil is fantastic (I even used it on my wooden utensils) and should last many washings off...don't submerge in water. But if you really want your boards to look, and feel, great be sure to purchase the Boos cream for your boards, this is the stuff I think in combination with the oil is the best for any wooden kitchen items...good luck!

I believe he's asking if surfaces treated with the wax are safe for holding or preparing food. I would say no since it is a petroleum based wax. Look for a food safe shellac, beeswax finish, tung oil, mineral oil, ect.

Orange Oil has it's own smell. I see no reason for you to try. I have used it on wood and have had no problems. I really like the product.

Yes, it's safe to use on cutting boards or butcher block counter tops. I actually have a butcher block from Ikea and I've been using this product ever since. It's great and doesn't leave a funky smell. I can cut my veggies and fruits right on the counter top.

I would not suggest this product be used on your wooden cutting board. There are other products on the market that are safe for using where food will come in contact with it. Mineral Oil, Bee's Wax, and a product called Salad bowl finish. I use these on my wooden bowls.

Hi Isabel, the simple answer to your question is yes. The long answer to your question starts with a question, why would you? To heat the butter oil will break down the nutrient components in the oil and diminish the health benefits of the oil. The oil is best consumed at room temperature and with cod liver oil for the most synergistic effect. Hope that helps. :-)

I've used both and here's my take:The oil is much better for working surfaces (butcher blocks, cutting boards, etc). The conditioner is probably better for long-term wood preservation.I have a large butcher block island (Ikea) and sealed it with both the OIL and CONDITIONER. The OIL was far better, both in absorption and protection. The wood felt good and didn't stain. The CONDITIONER left a residue and the wood stained easily (bowls, food, etc). With the conditioner I re-surfaced (sanded) my butcher block every 6 months. With the OIL I just reapply it every 6 month.
