NSF Certified Food Grade Mineral Oil - Gallon (128oz), Certified Food Safe Conditioner for Wood Cutting Boards, Butcher Blocks and Stainless-Steel Kitchen Equipment

I learned a neat tip from an old gardener many ears ago which keeps my gardening tools in excellent shape. Get a five gallon bucket with a lid, fill it with sand and pour in the mineral oil, stirring the sand so the oil is completely absorbed. This sits covered in my garage most of the time however, every autumn when gardening is finished for the year, I take each of my implements (shovels, metal rakes and hoes, forks, etc.) and I push them down into the oiled sand in the bucket and then pull the item up and down. This removes all dirt, cleans the tool and oils it too. Pull it out, wipe it down with a towel, and hang them up ready for next year. My tools have no rust or caked on dirt deposits and will last me a lifetime because of this tip.

I liked that this mineral oil has high ratings. Also it has all the certifications. Since I also use this on my stainless steel refridgerator, knives, knife block and other items in my kitchen the large size is prefect.

I have used this type of mineral oil(food grade) for years on my cherry butcher block counters and cutting boards. It takes a while for it to sink into the wood so I apply a generous coat of it at bedtime and by morning it's ready for a dry paper towel wipe down. Depending upon your use, you may only need to do it 1-2 times yearly. There is no flavor or oily taste residue. On cutting boards, I'll put a small amount on the board with a wipe occasionally, as I want to protect any knife-cut areas. The first time you use it, you may need to apply a second coat to ensure it really penetrates the surface. I have butcher block counters around my sink so I keep them well-penetrated and it does a great job preventing water. Cherry wood is a soft wood so it requires more mineral oil than oak. After several years a beautiful slightly darker patiena developed which enhances the wood grain. If my cutting boards become too rough from use, I use a scrubbing sponge with a little mineral oil to smooth the surface then wipe it off. Works beautifully. I have a huge (12'x7') island and an additional 20' of counters and only spend less than one and 1/2 hr. annually to maintain them. This mineral oil brand through Amazon is on my reorder list. Hope this helps.

Great product. Good value

I use this for my cutting board. Works great. Was using the boos block product, but this is much cheaper and appears to be the same result. So using this. Save money.

Works beautifully on Walnut & Maple projects

Let me tell you, I had no idea my cutting boards were living such a rough life until I saw them soak up this Sanco Industries Food Grade Mineral Oil like they'd just crossed the desert. Seriously, they were thirsty. One sip of this stuff and suddenly, they went from “I’m on my last leg” to “I’m ready for my close-up.”First off—this oil is NSF Certified, which means it’s food safe, and I won’t have to explain to my family why their sandwiches taste like motor oil. That’s a win. It’s odorless, clear, and so smooth it makes me wonder if my cutting boards are secretly at the spa living their best lives.I got the gallon size, because let’s be honest—I don’t have time to keep running back to the store every time my butcher block gets a little dry. Also, when you have a gallon of mineral oil sitting on your shelf, you feel like you really have your life together. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll finally oil that wooden spoon from 2013.The application? Easy. I even warmed it up a little like a five-star chef—fancy, right? My cutting boards drank it up faster than me at an open bar wedding.Also—bonus—it works great on stainless steel! No more greasy fingerprints announcing to the world that I just made five grilled cheese sandwiches at 2AM.Bottom line:This stuff is liquid magic. Your wood will love you, your stainless will shine, and you’ll look like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen. I’ll definitely buy it again

Work great for what needed it for
