How to extend the life of wooden utensils: oil to the rescue
For many people, wooden tableware is akin to art. It looks beautiful and stylish, and fits perfectly into any interior, creating an atmosphere of luxury.
However, wood products have a serious drawback – they are difficult to maintain and do not last long.
Wooden products quickly become scratched, darken, swell, absorb foreign odors and become unsuitable for use.
But you can avoid quick damage to wooden dishes. The trick in this article will help you with this.
To do this, you will need vegetable oil and wax, which must be melted in any convenient way - in a microwave or in a water bath.
Once you see that the mixture has become homogeneous, wait until it cools completely.
The resulting product should be used as a varnish for covering wooden items.
After soaking, lay out the dishes in the kitchen, leaving them like this for a day - this time is enough for the oil to be absorbed and create a protective layer.
All you have to do is remove the excess with a paper towel and enjoy using your favorite cookware.
It should be noted that this method is most effective for protecting new wooden dishes that do not have any defects and have not yet lost their color. Unfortunately, oil and wax will not be able to eliminate these defects.
