Customer Reviews:
Great boards for the price, I had been looking for a smaller alternative to my massive 30x24 poly cutting board that is just too much for most cooking I do. After looking in several stores and combing online reviews I decided for the price point these wouldn’t be terrible even if they didn’t last long like most people claimed. But after looking into how to properly care for them I can see these boards lasting a long time. Like other wooden products (even though bamboo is a grass) you have to seal it and maintain it in order for it to last. I use one or two of these about once a day so I seal mine every two to three weeks alternating between bees wax and mineral oil. Other keys to keeping these from cracking are immediately wash and DRY the board by hand, bamboo can absorb moisture quickly and expel it just as fast which is why it will warp or crack if left to its own. If you do not want the hassle of maintence poly boards make a great substitute and will never break. But if you like the looks of these and don’t mind a little extra work to keep them pristine then these are a great buy.
I was looking to replace my plastic boards with bamboo without spending an arm and a leg. These are thinner than wood, so they slide perfectly into the over the cabinet hanger I have. They do slide a bit, but the idea of a wet paper towel seems wasteful and harmful to the board, sitting on water like that, but a rubber jar opener or two or some leftover non slip shelf liner works fine. Thought about little feet but I like the idea of being able to fully use both sides of the board.
Being a bit hesitant due to the fact that these are bamboo and i am stuck in a small world as far as bamboo goes, I am pleasantly surprised at this item. I have used two of the three boards, one for meat, the other for vegetables, and plan the third for cheese. I was a bit disappointed to read when they suggested a specific oil treatment for the boards but did not include any information on getting this oil. I have settled for olive oil wipes, once a month. I don't know how this is affecting the boards and, I guess, time will advise me. For the most part, I am pleased with this product and am glad that I purchased them as a set with the knifes.
