Using this double - sided board is easy. For pasta, just roll out your dough on one side of the board. When baking, use the other side to prepare your pastries. It's a great all - in - one tool. Remember to keep it away from excessive moisture to prevent the wood from warping. To clean, simply wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry thoroughly. Occasionally, you can apply a light coat of food - safe oil to keep the wood in good condition.
