This
cutting board looks nice so can be left out on the
counter if you wanted too.
I love the
different color tones of the bamboo. Cutting on the board is easy and I don’t
notice any dulling on my knives which is very important to me.
I also haven’t noticed a lot of cut marks on
the board from cutting on the surface.
Some boards show signs of wear after the first time you use it but a
good board shouldn’t and this is a good board.
I made sure to condition the board with a wax made for
cutting boards before use to help prolong its life. I will continue to condition the board after
every few uses because it helps to keep the board moisturized and in good
condition.
This board has a drip groove and that is great because it
makes it easy to work with juicier food like watermelon, tomatoes, and much
more. I have had cutting boards in the
past without the groove and was only able to use them for a small portion of my
cutting because it would have made a mess.
The size is great, perfect for cutting just about anything
from a whole loin to just a few cherry tomatoes.
But lets talk about maintenance.
This is not dishwasher safe, if fact you
shouldn’t ever put wood in your dishwasher because it dried it out and it will
crack and those cracks harbor tons of germs.
A mild soap with warm water and a sponge does just fine to clean your
board and it only takes a minute.
I let
mine air dry, or you can dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
Before your first use and after every few
washes you will want to condition your board.
You can use a wax or oil meant especially for
wood boards and utensils
or you can use something as simple as coconut oil, but do not use vegetable oil
or olive oil because they can go rancid and ruin your board.
Do your research on how to care for your
board.
It is easy and doesn’t take much
time but the effort you put into your board will pay off in having a fantastic
board for years.
I have received this product in
exchange for an honest review.
