I’ve only used plastic so far. A friend was moving and she gave me her wooden cutting board. I cut something with it, and some grease got on the cutting board. Now I can’t remove the yellow spot no matter what I do. What can I do to clean it?

get you some mineral oil and beeswax. 2/1 ratio. heat them in a saucepan on low heat until combined. pour the mixture into a shallow vessel - empty tuna cans work great. allow the mixture to solidify. use a dry clean cloth to apply the paste to cutting board. let it sit for an hour and then wipe off the excess.
repeat once a month-ish or when the wood starts to lighten.
How to get mineral oil and beeswax out of a saucepan
the mineral oil makes the beeswax into a soft paste. it wipes out of the pot quite easily.
lol, good luck. also please no petroleum products on wooden kitchenware. smh
i mean, ok. but as an actual woodworker, my knowledge base shows mineral oil to be a standard food grade treatment for wooden kitchen implements.
And as an actual woodworker, what does your knowledge base have to say about walnut oil?
You can also get pre-mixed stuff if all that is a hassle.
I got a wooden cutting board and a tube each of oil and some stuff that seals it, those have lasted for 8 years now maybe.
well i’m a woodworker, and as such i relish a good hassle.
Understandable, I also do things the difficult way in my hobbies.
