What are the benefits of using an End Grain Cutting Board?
and why you should get one...
An end grain cutting board is a type of cutting board that is made by arranging small blocks of wood so that the end grain, or the vertical cross-section of the wood fibres, is facing upwards. This type of cutting board has a unique appearance and is known for its durability and self-healing properties.
One of the main benefits of an end grain cutting board is its durability. The wood fibres in the board are able to absorb the impact of a knife blade better than other types of cutting boards, which means that it is less likely to become damaged or develop knife marks over time. In addition, the end grain arrangement of the wood fibres allows the board to "self-heal" after being cut, which means that it is less likely to become permanently damaged.
End grain cutting boards are also easier on knives than other types of cutting boards because the wood fibres absorb the impact of the blade, rather than the blade bouncing off the surface. This means that your knives will stay sharp for longer and require less maintenance.
In terms of aesthetics, end grain cutting boards have a unique appearance that can add character and warmth to any kitchen. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a hygienic choice for a cutting board.
Overall, an end grain cutting board is a durable, attractive, and functional choice for a cutting board. They are perfect for any home chef who values quality and performance in their kitchen tools.
Caring for Your Wooden Kitchen and Home Products
Most of us have something made from wood somewhere in our homes, whether it's a treasured piece of furniture, or a one off carving/decorative piece. The following information should help you keep your wooden pieces in top condition for years to come.
Wood products in the kitchen and home, such as cabinets, countertops, and furniture, are investments that add warmth, character, and beauty to our living spaces. With proper care, they can last for many years and remain in excellent condition. Here are some tips to help you care for your wood kitchen and home products and keep them looking their best.
1. Cleaning: Dust wood surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If there are any spills or stains, clean them up immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the wood's finish.
2. Finishing: To protect the wood's natural beauty, consider using a wood conditioner or finishing product. Some common options include oil, wax, and polyurethane. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application and reapplication as needed.
3. Humidity: Wood products are sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. To protect your products from warping, cracking, or splitting, maintain a consistent humidity level in your home, and avoid placing products near heat sources or air conditioning vents.
4. Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause wood to fade and discolour over time. To protect your products from sun damage, consider using window treatments, such as curtains or blinds, to control the amount of sunlight that enters your home.
5. Maintenance: Regular maintenance, such as re-oiling, waxing, or refinishing, can help keep your wood products looking their best. Consider having a professional inspect and perform any necessary maintenance to your products every two to three years.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your wood kitchen and home products will look beautiful and last for many years. Whether you're looking to maintain the natural beauty of the wood or create a specific look, proper care is key to achieving the desired outcome.
Proud to be Plastic Free
Single-use plastics, such as plastic bags, straws, and water bottles, are among the most common forms of plastic waste. These items are used only once before being thrown away, and they can take hundreds of years to decompose. This has resulted in a growing global environmental crisis, as plastic waste accumulates in our oceans and landfills, harming wildlife and disrupting ecosystems.
However, by making simple changes in our daily habits, we can significantly reduce our impact on the environment. By choosing to refuse single-use plastics and opt for reusable alternatives, we can help to conserve natural resources and protect the planet for future generations.
At Wood From The Moon, we are proud to be a Plastic Free Champion Business. We understand the importance of reducing our impact on the environment and are committed to doing our part. Our business is dedicated to providing eco-friendly and sustainable products made from natural materials, such as paper and wood. By using these materials, we are able to minimize waste and reduce our dependence on plastic.
We also believe in educating our customers about the impact of single-use plastics and the importance of reducing waste. We encourage everyone to make small changes in their daily lives, such as carrying a reusable water bottle or shopping with reusable bags. These actions may seem small, but they can have a big impact when done collectively.
In conclusion, the fight against plastic waste is a collective effort, and we are proud to be a Plastic Free Champion Business. By reducing our use of single-use plastics, we can help to protect the planet and ensure a sustainable future for all.
