Wooden Oke Sushi Mixing Tub 42cm

To clean a wooden sushi oke, first, rinse it with cool water to remove any rice or vinegar residue. Scrub the bowl gently with a soft sponge or cloth, paying special attention to the corners and edges. Hot water should be avoided because it can cause the wood to warp or split.

Then, using a soft sponge or cloth, wash the hangiri with a mild detergent and cool water mixture. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the bowl to remove all traces of the detergent. It’s also a good idea to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives, as these can damage the bowl’s wood and finish.

After cleaning, the hangiri should be dried immediately with a clean, soft cloth. Allowing the bowl to air dry may result in warping or cracking. Once the bowl has dried, it should be oiled with food-grade mineral oil to protect the wood. Apply the oil with a soft cloth or brush and wait a few minutes before wiping away any excess.

It is important to note that putting the hangiri in the dishwasher or leaving it soaked in water for long periods of time is not recommended. Because wood is porous, it can absorb water and cause warping or cracking.

To summarise, here’s how to clean a wooden sushi oke:

1. Rinse the hangiri with cool water and scrub it clean with a soft sponge or cloth.
2. Wash the bowl with mild detergent and cool water.
3. Immediately dry the hangiri with a clean, soft cloth.
4. To protect the wood, use food-grade mineral oil.

You can ensure that your Wooden Oke Sushi Mixing Tub will last for many years by following these steps and properly caring for it.
