John Lewis Oak Wood Bread Board, L42cm, Natural

Made of solid oak wood, this sturdy breadboard has handy grooves and a tray to capture crumbs, causing less mess in the kitchen. Bring it to the dining table as a stylish serving board. The top part is removable for tipping away crumbs and easy cleaning.

Caring for your oak wood board:

• Hand wash in warm water using a mild detergent
• Do not soak or put in the dishwasher
• Dry off any excess water immediately and rest the board on its long edge
• Once dry, store it on a flat surface
• Treat occasionally with food-safe wood oil

Good to know: Oak timber has a high level of tannin. Tannin is a natural part of the wood, reacts with moisture and can leach onto surfaces. Over time, the wood becomes less penetrable by water and less likely to release tannin. Make sure the board is not immersed in water and is fully dry before laying it on a flat surface.
