How to deal with the cracking of chopping block?

1, soaked in salt to prevent cracking. That is to say, soak the new cutting board in concentrated salt water for 12 ~ 24 hours, take it out and dry it for a long time. At the same time, make a suitable iron crank that can be screwed down, and tighten it a little by hand and sleeve until the existing cracks on it are completely closed, so that the iron crank can be used in the future.

2. If you want to prevent the chopping block from cracking, you should coat it with cooking oil or lard immediately after buying a new chopping block. The practice is: apply cooking oil on the upper and lower sides and around the chopping block, and then apply it three or four times after absorbing the oil. The cutting board is easy to crack around, so you can brush it several times repeatedly and use it after the oil is dry. After this treatment, the chopping block is not easy to crack. Because oil is highly permeable and nonvolatile, it can moisten wood for a long time and prevent the chopping block from bursting. Oiling also has anti-corrosion function, so the chopping block is durable.

3. After the wooden chopping block is cracked, you can nail it on both sides of the crack with fresh skin (buy a piece of skin, cut it off after going home, and don't bring oil), and tighten the crack by using the contraction force of the skin, so you are not afraid to continue cracking. In addition, the salt water bubble can be reused: after the chopping block absorbs salt, it is easy to get wet because of salt, and it is not easy to crack when the chopping block keeps a certain humidity. Tiemu chopping block should be moisturized for a long time. When using and cleaning, put a wet towel on it to keep moisture. If cracks appear, it is difficult to remedy them. The only way is to soak the chopping block in water, let it fully soak and minimize cracks.
