How to Clean a Wooden Bowl

I did some searching, but was unable to find any instructions. I did find some individuals who have written recipes that call for wooden bowls, so I figured they may have some suggestions. I have tried to notify them using the help.com software, so hopefully they will follow up soon. In the meantime, please feel free to post a comment on their blogs.

We have a large cherry wood salad bowl that is about 6 years old and hasn’t dried out. It still looks new. After each use, I wash it with a mild soap and dry it immediately afterwards. I then apply a thin layer of “food safe” mineral oil with a cloth or piece of paper towel before putting it back on the shelf. I don’t recall where I read this but you’re suppose to apply mineral oil to wooden bowls, plates, etc.. after each use.

This applies to wooden cutting boards as well?

clean it with a small amount of soap compared to the amount of water you use, never soak it, dry it out and rub it down with butcher’s block oil when you are done
