Hey woodies,
I'm not a woodworker by any means, but figured it could be here to ask about my question. I love and own some wooden kitchen utensils and cutlery, but want to it to last as long as possible. I never put it in the dishwasher, always wash by hand. However I have heard its possible to oil wooden utensils and such to make it last longer, I assume it prevents the water from deteriorating the wood(?)
So my questions are:
- What oil should I use?
- Do I use cheap oil?
- How do I oil them? Apply with paper, or let them sit in oil over time?
Appreciate any tips or tricks to this!
Have a wonderful day ๐ป
Edit, thanks for all the answers and advice, I'll research properly before buying either type of oil.
I use butcher block oil which is just beeswax and food grade mineral oil but any food grade oil that won't spoil will do just fine
