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?

There is literal food grade mineral oil for this exact purpose along with lubricating food making equipment. It’s basically completely inert and is sometimes even used as a food ingredient. You can straight up drink a jug of the stuff with no health repercussions other than the violent greasy shits you would get from drinking any oil. Just because it’s a petroleum product doesn’t automatically mean its bad for you.
You had me at “violent greasy shits”
mineral oil is sold at the pharmacy as a laxitive. so yeah, violent greasy shits.
it’s also cheaper to buy at the pharmacy than it is to buy at the woodworking shops as a finish. same stuff tho.
Can you cite any research, not sponsored by the petroleum industry, that relates to this opinion? Walnut oil is a food product, is made from walnuts, doesn’t go rancid, and works quite well for maintenance of cutting boards and other wooden kitchen ware.
walnut oil is lovely. it doesn’t penetrate the wood as deeply as the mineral oil + beeswax tho.
Have you any actual data, you know, like a study of depth of penetration of your petroleum based product compared with other wood finishes?
i witnessed its effects on the woods that i’ve applied it to. i’m a woodworker, not a scientist or academic paper reader/writer.
i’m not sure why it’s now MY petroleum product tho, that’s a weird and aggressive way to ask your (i think rhetorical) question.
doing in fact, when it comes down to it MY preferred finish is actually shellac, but it doesn’t perform well in kitchen applications.
