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?

Not an expert here, but food-grade mineral oil is safe for cutting surfaces from every source I’ve read. It’s even commonly used as a laxative.
Meanwhile, from what I gather, walnut oil has a comparatively long shelf life, but it does eventually go rancid, leaving an off smell. But it may be that yearly oiling makes that a relatively moot point, with the new covering the old.
Mineral oil is definitely safe, just try not to inhale misted particles in large amounts regularly. Pouring some on your cutting board and rubbing it in should be totally safe.
Huh. So in what context would there be misted mineral oil in the air? Like in a factory or workshop…?
Yup.
Oh, okay. Guess I’ll have to avoid making chili in those places, then.
