Kitchen Top Wood Varnish - can it be used on chopping boards

[QfanatiQ]

Got some boards that need "seasoning" as I understand it is called.

Previously, I kept a load of wood stain for our old kitchen wooded work top. Surely this is as suitable as some ludicrously expensive small tin of oil with chopping board written on it?

I can’t see why not. I have read elsewhere and tried other oils as advised, but I don’t get s suitable finish. The kitchen when installed and coated with this was incredible.

Cheers.....Q

When you say you've tried some oils have you tried virgin olive oil, it's by far the best for food use...pinenot

Yes, I used this originally on a chopping board and it went green. I then learnt Olive Oil unlike others is not suitable for chopping boards (but also find a lot of counter evidence) I wont go down that road again. It was an expensive mistake.

Short question. Kitchen Wood Top stain, as for kitchen worktop, is it suitabel for unseasoned chopping boards? GOt to be yes no? You dont put toxic finishes on preperation surfaces (strickly I know you do not chop direct on side).

Rustin's Danish Oil. Low Wipe on low lustre finish. Does say on the tin (just seen this on teh bloody side) suitabel for turned wood and one looks like a shallow tray.

Or hardwax oil. You can buy sample tins on ebay and elsewhere avoiding the cost of a full one. Many if not all are food safe, but do check the datasheet first.

As I laready have this oil I would like to use this.

However, if it proves a no go, then thanks for the alternative solution.

I wouldn't use your oil unless you know it is food safe.

Rustins state their danish oil is food safe, so there shouldn't be any problems...pinenot
