Recommend some oil for rubbing into my wood? Date: April 13, 2021 11:42PM |
I'm looking at a couple of butter dishes that meet the sys reqs of Kerrygold and one has a wood tray or lid, depending on one's proclivity.
[www.amazon.com]
There are various complaints about the bamboo try/lid swelling when washed and worse, one of condensation causing mildew.
That would be from storing it in the 'fridge, I assume.
I know the mind hive says to leave it out, but in warmer weather it will have to be stowed, and I'm still considering putting it in the 'fridge during the night.
Anyway, is there some food-grade oil that I can treat the tray with to resist any adverse behavior?
A bamboo shower brush (or I thought it was a shower brush) split apart, living in the shower.
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

Food grade/USP Mineral Oil but don't buy the over-priced, over-hyped
stuff on bezosville, HD, etc.
$2/pint @ Wallys
It's higher @ Walgreens & CVS but they're still reasonable.

jeez, talk about sending one right over the plate. batter up!
I will not take a swing at this one, even though it is right down the middle of the strike zone.
The suggestion for mineral oil is spot on, for your butter dish.

Careful, you might get excited and the results could be... surprising.
Just be sure the effects only last 4-6 hours, otherwise it could cause permanent injury.
But to get back the question, I was actually going to suggest lemon oil, which not only conditions wood well, but also smells great and has antibacterial/antifungal properties.

Lemon oil is not a food safe finish. Use it on furniture and similar wood items for a shine, but not on wood utensils or containers in contact with food.
Ehhh, I've used it on utensils without incident. (Except for that third eye growing in my forehead...)
It gets absorbed pretty readily into wood items and doesn't seem to leech into food in any appreciable amount... but then I'm using the essential oil, not stuff you buy off a hardware store shelf.
Edit: oh, and if I were really worried about it being food safe, I would use olive oil. Obviously that IS food safe, and in fact when I made a wood cutting board in shop class in high school, that's what we used to finish the final product. My mother still uses that cutting board to this day.

Olive oil, unlike pure mineral oil. eventually goes rancid.
[www.healthline.com]
Just to reaffirm my earlier choice, $2 pint of USP mineral oil. Plenty of
tutorial vids on YT of how to use.

It goes rancid, but this isn't likely to do anything in terms of a wood cutting board or other wood items, as the oil gets absorbed into the wood. The cutting board I mentioned has been in use for approximately 40 years now...

Essential oils, including lemon oil, are not food safe in general. They can contain other chemicals that are not good to be in contact with food. You can get away with some consumption through that contact, but not recommended usage for essential oils.
As MrNobody mentions, many of the oils have problems with going rancid eventually. Here are some basic food safe finishes for wood utensils and containers:
Food grade mineral oil
Tung oil
food grade beeswax
paraffin wax
raw linseed oil
There are others, in all cases a food safe or food grade type should be used.
With respect, some essential oils are indeed food safe, as in very small amounts, they can be added to various recipes.
I agree that it's better to use a mineral oil for all the reasons previously given, but from an empirical perspective, I've had no problems either with the lemon oil or olive oil.

I may just go full ceramic.
That dish I posted does appeal to me, but having to treat the tray, even if only occasionally, does not.
Thank you for all the insights.
