This Cutting Boards give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great Heavy Duty Utility Wood Cutting Board for all your Chopping Needs
This is a wonderful utility wood cutting board.
When shopping for a cutting board, there are several factors you want to consider: Material, Size, Shape, Upkeep.
Material:
There are several to choose from, but Wood is the best if you care about your knives and your chopping arm. Wood is the easiest on your knives because the blade will sink into the wood instead of dulling on it (as if you were on granite/glass). It absorbs the shock of the impact, unlike granite/glass, which can be quite jarring to cut on. Wood also has natural antibacterial properties. There was rumors going on for awhile about the dangers of wood harboring bacteria, but after extensive research, they found out the wood actually seems to kill bacteria naturally. Scientists were not able to recover bacteria on a wood board after an hour, yet they could recover bacteria from plastic after days... There's extensive material on this, so I'll let you research more of it on your own as I...
2. Nice, but not END GRAIN quality
The other review for this cutting board is accurate, but fails to mention one important factor...this board is constructed of EDGE grain maple, not END grain maple. This makes a huge difference when chopping and slicing. End grain cutting boards and butcher blocks are prefered by home and professional chefs for a number of reasons. End grain construction does not dull the edges of expensive cutlery the way Edge grain does. End grain boards also cut easier, have a more varied and figured grain, and a cutting surface that lasts longer. In the end, it's not worth spending $[...] (with shipping) on a John Boos Edge grain cutting board from Amazon.com, when for the same price, you can buy a quality End grain cutting board that will perform better, save your knife blades, has a prettier grain, and will last a lifetime.
This is a decent cutting board for the average home chef, but simply not worth the money. Buy an End grain maple butcher block 16" x 20" for $[...] from...
Need more appointment... ?
I like this board but....
I bought the 20x15 2.5in block from another website. I really like the board but, I do have one issue with it. For the amount of money you spend on the board I would expect it to be a finished board, ready for use. Right out of packaging it was a bit rough. I wiped it down with a damp sponge in preparation for seasoning and it became VERY rough to the point it needed sanding with fine grit paper. Personally, this isnt how I would want a product of mine to be sent to a customer. When paying this amount for a cutting board, it really should be useable from day 1 which is why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5.
All that being said, I do like the block and as with any board, it needs to be well seasoned before use. The initial seasoning is a bit time consuming however, the process only needs to be done once. I make my own Wood Butter but you can also purchase one of the several on the market for this task. I prefer to make my own because its more cost effective for the amount of...
