These cutting boards are attractive and a good size. I haven’t actually used them yet for cutting so I cannot testify to their durability. The price was right and am so far satisfied with the purchase.
I have been wanting a wooden cutting board for a while but then I found this Bamboo board. Bamboo is a renewable resource and is very durable so I chose this.
One draw back is that with bamboo u cannot machine wash or let soak in water. But hey atleast it’ll make you clean up right away and not let your kitchen sit and get dirty.
Nice find eh…
Love love love this cutting board. Hard rubber gripper feet are secured within the wood, NOT glued on, so they’ll never come off. I have the smaller version of this board as well. Just be sure to oil it plenty when you first get it, and once a week for a month, and then once a month after that. Plain mineral oil from the drugstore is fine – it’s the same as the “bamboo” oil that’s much more expensive.
Having owned several bamboo cutting boards, I decided to purchase two of these for my mother, who has been using the same cutting board set for almost a decade for christmas. The main purpose was because bamboo cutting boards are much more hygienic, more environmentally friendly (bamboo grows quickly and is a very renewable source), and that it’s pretty tough.
The boards do come a little fuzzy at first, but after a bit of use and washing, they become very strong. As is with most lower end boards, cut marks do become visible, but those will eventually wear away as the outer finish of the board grows more weathered. This is nothing bad.
The best selling point about these boards are the rubber feet. While they do take away an entire side of a board to use for cooking, they provide a vital role in keeping the board still while you’re dicing (these boards are light and would probably slide around otherwise without the feet; I’ve had bad experience with other boards sliding around) and also helps air the board while it dries, keeping the bamboo off the ground and letting the water soak in and promote bacterial growth.
My only qualms about this board are the lightness of the bamboo. My own boards are very dark in color, giving them a very rich quality. These boards are VERY light in color, so if you really like matching your cookware, make sure that you have a brighter kitchen, or you may begin thinking these are a bit of an eye-sore.
This cutting board looks great on our counter and works well. We got rid of an ugly one from Ikea. This one is smaller and more elegant! Good deal!
