To seal a wooden cutting board, use food-grade mineral oil or beeswax. Apply a generous amount, let it soak in, and wipe off any excess. Repeat this process until the wood is saturated. For added protection, finish with a beeswax and mineral oil blend. Reapply the sealant regularly to maintain the board's condition.
By letting it fully cure. Epoxy resin becomes food safe only after it has finished hardening and presents a clean, smooth, and sturdy surface. Don't use epoxy resin to make dishes you intend to eat off of. It's fine to make them if they're merely decorative, though.
Mineral oil is a food safe finish for cutting boards. Though because it is not a drying oil meaning that it will not harden. It also means that the finish can be washed off. This results in proper care including regular reoiling of the cutting board.
Seasoning your wooden board right after you buy it and oiling it occasionally can prevent all of that from happening. To start, get some food-safe mineral oil or board cream. Any food-safe mineral oil will do—I use a cheap bottle of cutting board oil from IKEA.
Hand Wash Only Your handmade hardwood and epoxy charcuterie board should never be placed in a dishwasher (or a microware - just saying). The high heat and moisture can damage both the wood and the epoxy. Instead, hand wash your board with warm water and mild soap after each use.
Natural oils, beeswax, shellac, carnauba wax, mineral oil, tung oil, and food-safe polyurethane are all suitable choices. These finishes provide a protective layer while ensuring the safety of the food and the individuals consuming it.
Use beeswax to hydrate, shine, and waterproof a cutting board. You can buy conditioners in readily available bottles such as Howard's Butcher Block Conditioner or melt 1 part beeswax and combine with 4 parts mineral oil in a pot to make your own blend.
For example, Shellac is a great choice for a food-safe finish that's water-resistant. You could also try polyurethane, which is durable and commonly used by woodworkers. For tumblers, consider using CrystaLac, a water-based polyurethane that's gaining popularity as a safe alternative to epoxy resin.
Using epoxy is just plain wrong for a cutting board. Mainly, the hardness of the epoxy will destroy a knife edge, might as well cut on a brick. If the end user is using ``beater'' knives, like Cutco, he might be okay for a while but the epoxy will destroy an edge.
