There are only two benefits to synthetic cutting boards: 1. you can put them in the dishwasher, and 2. they're cheap enough that you can throw them out when they become scratched and scraped. That's why they make sense for restaurants. For at-home use, stick with your wood board.
I wouldn't bother with beeswax, and don't understand why you'd use it. Mineral oil is all it takes to maintain your board.
Enjoy your new board! Given proper care it will probably outlast you. |
