Woodenware needs a good washing, not just a quick wipe-off. Salad oil left sticking to a bowl can easily turn rancid, and particles of meat or other food left in a cutting board can breed bacteria. Cracking, swelling, or warping may result when you soak wooden salad bowls or rolling pins in water. Instead of soaking, dip woodenware in warm sudsy water and rinse immediately. Wipe the pieces with a towel, then let them stand in a well ventilated place until completely dry. Try to wash wood items as soon after use as possible and you will avoid having to scratch off dried foods Also you will reduce the chances of marring the surface. Keep your cutting board clean, too. Knife marks on the board can leave ridges where bacteria can multiply quickly. Try rubbing the ridges occasionally with sand paper to restore the natural smoothness of the wood. In ad dition, you will have a cleaner and safer cutting surface. Keep your woodenware serving pieces clean to preserve their beauty and usefulness in your kitchen.
