NSF Certified Food Grade Mineral Oil - Gallon (128oz), Certified Food Safe Conditioner for Wood Cutting Boards, Butcher Blocks and Stainless-Steel Kitchen Equipment

I purchased this mineral oil for making "Board Butter" for a new wooden cutting board. Here's the recipe I used:4-parts food-grade mineral oil - this product worked great!1-part beeswax (by volume).I put 12 fl oz mineral oil in a 2-cup measuring cup, then added enough beeswax chunks to raise the level to ~15 fl oz. I then poured everything into a double boiler and melted together. I added a few drops of lemongrass essential oil (what I had available: I thought the scent would be nice, but you could use other scents) and then poured into two 1-cup jam jars and let it set over night. You would probably want to use a dedicated pan if you had it-- beeswax can be a bit of a mess and generally benefits from a dedicated container when working with it.The resulting mixture looks like and is the approximate consistency of firm butter. I used it on my new wood cutting board with great success (see right side of cutting board without; left side with), but have since discovered its usefulness for my kitchen knives as well. It's great at preventing moisture and rust on high-carbon (non stainless) knife blades, and I also rub a bit on my stainless knife blades after I hone and strop them, and it makes ongoing clean-up and maintenance a snap. Put a bit on a Damascus blade and watch the metal pop.Although I use the board butter for many purposes, in 3 months I've probably used a half-cup total. So a gallon of mineral oil will probably last me a lifetime. However, with the holidays approaching and some foodie siblings, I'll probably make some for gifts as well. Glad I found this high quality and economical mineral oil!

LONG STORY SHORT:This stuff is great. It's Mineral Oil....NSF Certified Food Grade Mineral Oil. And that's what you're here for. So look no further.I have been hand-making several Black Walnut, End Grain cutting boards recently. After it's all Jointed, Planed, cut, glued (with food safe wood glue), sanded, routed, laser etched, and whatever else you gotta do to make a masterpiece, this is your last step. Soak that baby in this stuff. Then when the board soaks it all up...Soak it again. Rinse and Repeat (no wait...don't do that....don't rinse. Just Repeat). Keep applying this stuff until it doesn't accept any more Mineral Oil. THEN....you're ready to use it. Or just...admire it. That's up to you. But I use mine.Every once in a while, if you feel like it could use a refresher, apply more Mineral Oil to keep it spiffy. That's the great thing about having a Gallon Jug, you don't have to use it sparingly...and you shouldn't. If you want it to stay nice.I bought a 20oz bottle of Mineral Oil for a cutting board a while back, and hardly ever re-applied. The board didn't keep lookin wonderful for all that long. Don't skimp. When in doubt, Oil it out.Should go without saying, but...this stuff works on cutting boards that you purchased as well. You don't have to hand craft the dang thing in order to want to keep it looking its best. Wooden cutting boards (for the most part) need Food Grade Mineral Oil....and this....is a gallon of that.

I got this for two reasons. 1. To oil some cutting boards. 2. To use in a smoke machine for use on cars. It did a great job on a cutting board and did the trick for the smoke machine. Clear liquid - plenty left for future projects.

It works fine on cutting boards and the wooden utensils. It is pricey but you get a gallon instead of paying $10 or more for a small bottle. I even used it on the wooden salt cellars.

Works great. A bit expensive

I am using this to preserve and care for the inside of my newly built sauna. You can buy specifically made sauna oil/finish for well over $100/gallon. At about $25/Gallon this is an exceptional, low-cost option.

Great product

Liked the price and product can do lots of cutting boards with a gallon !
