Unplug Eco-conscious Metric:

End grain cutting boards are coveted as work pieces for many reasons. End grain cutting boards save your knife's sharp edge and are self healing because when you cut your fruits and veggies, the knife blade goes between the fibers of the wood. Traditional cutting boards are face grain meaning when you cut, it cuts across the tree fibers leaving cut marks.

As with all wooden cutting boards do not cut raw meat on them. The bacteria can seep into the pores. Before you have oily products on the cutting boards add a small amount of butcher block butter to seal the pores.

If you put a hot pan on the board, a ring will be left. Not to worry, let it sit overnight and the ring will disappear.

Benefits of End Grain Cutting Boards- much more durable, leave less visible cut marks and does not dull your knives as quickly, compared to the face grain boards. As you cut onto an end grain board, you do not cut across the wood fibres as they naturally separate and close with the knife blade. 

With face grain boards, you actually cut across the wood fibres, leaving more visible and permanent cut marks, while dulling your knives faster.


The finishes we use are all food grade and free from tree nuts (great for those who have nut allergies, as many natural finishes are from tree nuts). We use food grade mineral oil and organic beeswax. The glue we use is also food grade, and you can actually eat it.

 

Note: All offcuts from the cutting boards and charcuterie boards are repurposed into other products.
