Thinking Out Loud with Meseidy

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.itsmeseidy.com

A few months ago, I created an Instagram story series that briefly covered the use and care of wood cutting boards. You guys appear to be big fans of my impromptu food/kitchen content. So, while the cutting board stories are available as a highlight on my Instagram, I thought you would appreciate something more permanent and easily accessible. Also, I am about to go big nerd into wood cutting boards.

The wood cutting board Ted Talk all started when I casually mentioned I was going to be oiling my boards, and I was flooded with a variety of questions that range from how to oil wood boards to whether they are safe for raw meat. I quickly surmised that my followers were neglecting their wooden cutting boards. They were either being used for aesthetic display, only to make an appearance as a cheese board, or had been so neglected that they likely resembled a dried-out zombie having survived the last days of an apocalypse.

Or worse yet, there is no wood board in sight, and instead, you're chopping everything on a plastic monstrosity that looks like it went ten rounds with a cheese grater. Not that I am judging.

Here's the thing: your wood cutting board isn't just kitchen equipment; it's a living, breathing workspace that can outlast your dog twice if you treat it right. And yes, I said living. I shall explain later.

Everyone is at a different place in their cutting board journey, and while I might judge you a little from behind the keyboard. By the end of this article, I promise you that you will be able to confidently toss that plastic cutting board or thin plastic mat in the trash and fully embrace the world of beautiful, well-conditioned end-grain wood.
