Review on Enhance and Protect Your Wood with Snow River 32-Ounce Wood Oil by Veronica Fermin

My new wooden kitchen spoons (bought to caramelize sugar at high temperatures) need to be oiled regularly to keep them from splitting. I've been greasing my wooden cutting boards with supermarket canola oil for years. Imagine my surprise when I learned that wooden cutting boards and kitchen utensils can ONLY be lubricated with mineral oil! Culinary experts claim that vegetable oil used on wooden kitchenware can go rancid and smell bad, although I've never had this problem. But why take the risk, especially with wooden utensils used to mix and stir food during cooking? In my search for mineral oil, I found this 32-ounce bottle of Snow River "Wood Oil" to be very valuable. The oil is clear and clean and will never go rancid. In addition, because it is intended for use on cutting boards, it contains no added nutrients or flavorings, just like mineral oils intended for direct human consumption (eg, Kondremul mineral oil, 16 fl oz (480 ml)).
