What is food grade mineral oil? Do I get it at the hardware store or? I
just read wykepedia about oils to use on a cutting board that I have that is
drying up, and starting to split. It also suggests poppyseed or tung oil,
not sure where to get that, either. It seems to say NOT to use any kind of
cooking oil, as it becomes rancid. What do YOU use?

Tung oil I would not use , it hardens as a finish that will wear off
into your food. I dont know of any non food grade "mineral oil", its
all edible from the pharmacy.

I know of one mineral oil that isn't food grade.... baby oil. It's
mineral oil with perfume.
