How Do I Clean and Sanitize a Wood Cutting Board?
Q: My 88-year-old nana recently passed. When going through her things, I found her old solid wood cutting board under the sink. Nana had to stop cooking a good 15 years ago due to a medical situation, so under the sink the board went. When I found it I instantly remembered her using it all the time.
It’s one piece of solid wood. It’s not butcher block or pieces of wood glued together. My question is this; how can I clean and sanitize the board? I’d love to be able to use it in my kitchen.
