"Is it safe to revitalize a wooden serving bowl with mineral oil? Also, where can I buy mineral oil? -- Jodi Queen, Carmichael, CA Yes, it&amp;#039;s safe. I have some wooden bowls that our family acquired in the late 1950s, when we lived in Hawaii, and they are still in good shape. To restore the patina on your piece, first wash the bowl with a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Then coat the surface lightly with mineral oil (sold at drugstores, supermarkets and hardware stores). Let the oil remain on the bowl overnight, then wipe off the excess with paper towels. You should do this several times a year, depending on the amount of use. Never put wooden bowls or utensils in the dishwasher or soak them in water. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
