How to clean a wooden cauldron lid?
I bought this the other day for making shabu shabu (샤부샤부) as well as for camping. The pot itself is made of cast iron which I know how to clean, but the lid is made of wood. The lid doesn't get very dirty during use - but there are some splatters, etc - I'm wondering if I should wipe this down with oil or just water? I would use oil, but I'm concerned that this will inhibit the wood's ability to swell when placed over steaming liquid.

Beautiful. If it were mine it would usually get cleaned with a quick wipe with a slightly damp paper towel. On the rare occasions that it needed it, it would get sponged with soapy water, rinsed, and lightly oiled as it dried.

EASY TO CLEAN - Before using, give it a thorough cleaning by soaking it in water. Otherwise, it will absorb the cooking liquid, and you'll have a difficult time getting the smell out. After using, remember to wash appropriately and dry thoroughly.Treating a Wooden Palette
