Your Sprout & Seeds Charcuterie Set is a practical kitchen accessory and a work of art. Here are a few examples of how to store your boards..

• Hanging: One of the most effective ways to store the boards is by hanging them. This method ensures that the boards do not sit in any moisture and allows air to circulate around them, reducing the risk of warping. You can install simple hooks or a dedicated hanging rack in a dry area of your kitchen. Ensure the hanging area is not exposed to extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight, as these can also affect the wood.

  
  

• Countertop Display: If hanging isn’t an option, storing the boards upright is a good alternative. Place them in a dry area, preferably on a rack that keeps them separated and allows air to flow between them. Avoid laying them flat, especially on top of each other, as this can cause uneven pressure and lead to warping over time.

  
  

• Avoid Moisture and Heat: Never store the boards in damp areas or near heat sources like ovens or radiators. Excessive moisture and heat are the primary causes of warping in wooden boards.

• As Coasters: The Sprout & Seeds Charcuterie Sets' unique design makes for a unique coffee table coaster set. With practicality in mind, each of the vegan leather tags is removable so you can use the Seeds to serve coffee or tea while the Sprout displays cream sugar and biscuits!

  
  

At Roots to Table, we're committed to ensuring that your Sprout & Seeds are well-protected and conditioned from the start. Here's our process for preparing your board and guidelines for its ongoing care:

• Our Initial Deep Soak Treatment: We thoroughly soak each Sprout & Seeds Charcuterie Set in mineral oil for 24 hours. This deep soak ensures that the oil penetrates deeply, conditioning the wood thoroughly and establishing a durable foundation.

  
  

• Application of Our Special Board Butter: After the mineral oil soak, we apply a generous amount of our custom board butter, a blend of beeswax, mineral oil, and Vitamin E. This enhances the wood's natural beauty and forms a protective barrier to guard against everyday wear and tear.

  
  

• Your Role in Board Care: Regular maintenance and proper storage is critical to the longevity of your board. When not in use, we recommend you periodically apply mineral oil or board butter (like our Roots To Table Board Butter) to keep the wood well-moisturized. However for everyday use, we recommend the application of board butter after cleaning the board with a damp cloth.  This step is crucial to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.

  
  

• Detailed Care Instructions Provided: Along with your board, we provide comprehensive instructions for its care. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure that your Sprout & Seeds Charcuterie Set remains a cherished and functional part of your kitchen for many years.

Remember, taking good care of your Sprout & Seeds Charcuterie Set is vital for preserving its beauty and functionality. With regular upkeep, your crafted charcuterie board will age gracefully, becoming an integral and timeless element of your culinary adventures.
