Review on πŸ”¬ NSF Certified Premium 100% Pure Food Grade Mineral Oil USP, 1 Gallon – Ideal for Food Safe Butcher Block and Cutting Board Oil by Rafael Gomez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Penetrates wood well, great price

I have used this oil to finish and protect the cutting boards I make (see picture). It's more fluid and penetrates deeper into the wood, which is good. The oil is odorless and optically transparent. When first applied to new wood, the wood magically brightens and shines. Apply the oil generously and let it absorb. The oil penetrates the wood if left on and offers better protection. seems to have stopped absorbing. it took about 1/2 gallon of oil. I found that after sitting on a cutting board all night there was still some oil left to wipe off. I mixed the oil with beeswax to make a cream that will help fill in any gaps on the cutting board. The oil and wax are placed in a container which is then placed in boiling water until all of the wax has melted and you have an amber liquid. As it cools, it hardens, like petroleum jelly. This commonly used ratio is 4 points of oil to 1 point of beeswax. Good value for money. You can spend 20-30 times more per ounce by purchasing a small 4 ounce bottle of edible mineral oil.

Pros
  • House cleaning
Cons
  • The list will be long.
