Howard Products BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, 12 oz

I got this product with the expectation of using it to improve the look of some badly neglected cutting boards. After being imprest with how easy it was to use and the results I got on the cutting boards I went crazy and started using it on other wood stuff in the kitchen such as spoons, a ladle, and a salad bowl. (I wish I had taken a before picture of the cutting boards. I did take a before and after picture of the ladle and the bowl. Ill attach them). You simply spread this oil on, no elbow grease required, let it rest for 20 minutes and wipe off whatever didnt soak into the wood and youre done. Its odorless, the wood feels protected and looks fantastic. I definitely recommend it.

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**

Worked great. We got a new sink for our kitchen and it came with an inset cutting board. This thing looks like it hadnt seen any kind of oil in the finishing process at all. It was bone dry. I lost count of how many coats of oil it took, but it had to be 8 or so before it started to really look and feel like a usable cutting board. Ill have to do a regular routine of re-oiling until it hits some kind of stasis, but for now I have about half a bottle left, so Im good for a while. I touched up some wooden utensils while I was at it, and those took almost no oil, so this bottle should last a while for most folks. I was very uneasy initially about where to find the mineral oil I kept hearing I should use on wood because there seems to be more than one type of oil categorized as mineral oil and it wasnt clear to me if it was all food safe. I relied a lot on reviews to decide what to buy and have been very happy with my choice.

I used this oil after I sanded down a 40-year-old artisan-made cutting board, and now it looks like new. It revitalized the surface and will keep wood looking at its best if used consistently. I also used it on a wooden ladle and some wooden knife handles. Everything is brought back to life. As with any oil, be prepared to wash your hands well, and also the outside of the bottle before putting it away. When you work with oil, it gets EVERYWHERE.

This a great product. I used it to protect a couple of bamboo cutting boards. I didnt have any problems. I found the best way to apply it was put a little on the cutting board and use a paper towel to spread over the cutting board. A little goes a long way. I would buy this again and recommend it.

My girlfriend got me a really nice cutting board for Christmas to replace my old cheap-o board that was starting to warp. The care instructions noted that the board should be oiled on a regular basis after washing. I put it off for a while so the board was looking pretty rough. I applied some of the board oil and let it soak in an wow! It looks like its new again. Great stuff.

Its cutting board oil, it works, maybe a little bit pricey, nuff said.

Review of Howard Products BBB012 Cutting Board Oil, 12 oz I like the John Boos Mystery Oil and Cream better. It seems like the Howard Products oil soaks in and evaporates. The Boos oil & cream (use the oil first and then the cream) - those products last for months before I need to re-do them. All my countertops and island have butcher block.

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 on my hand crafted cutting board made of multiple kinds of wood. Ive used this oil on an actual butchers block as well, and both times Ive gotten great results. There is no scent, but I gave it 5 stars for smell because I dont want my cutting board to smell like anything, that would definitely ruin my dinner!
