KNIVES & CHOPPING BOARDS

Well-sharpened knives and spotless chopping boards are essential allies for any barbecue. With a bit of regular maintenance, you can extend their lifespan and ensure top performance.

Tips for Taking Care of Your Knives

- Cleaning: Wash them by hand with warm water and mild detergent after each use. Avoid the dishwasher—heat and chemicals can damage the blade.

- Immediate Drying: Dry your knives right away to prevent rust stains, especially if they are made of carbon steel.

- Regular Sharpening: Use a honing rod to maintain the edge between uses and manual sharpeners or whetstones for deeper maintenance—never supermarket sharpeners.

Care Tips for Chopping Boards

- Cleaning: Wash wooden boards with water and soap, but avoid soaking them.

- Oiling: Apply vegetable oil every 1-2 months to prevent the wood from drying out and to extend its lifespan.

- Storage: Store them vertically to prevent warping over time.
