Default Varnishing question - non boaty

We have a hardwood (iroko, I think) drainer and work top at home. I've previously treated these with danish oil to give a gloss surface. However the finish degrades over time, and the rate of degradation seems to be increasing. Now considering whether to varnish.

What do the panel think, and if yes, what varnish would be suitable? Should be hardwearing, long lasting, non-toxic, able to stand damp, warm (but not oven hot) pans, etc. Needn't be high gloss, could be satin or matt.
