Amazon.com Review
Made by German knife manufacturer Wüsthof, this 12-by-8-by-1-inch board is sized for small tasks--such as chopping a handful or ginger, julienning a pepper, or slicing a lemon. Plus, the board is light enough for transferring ingredients from the opposite end of the kitchen to the stovetop. This versatile tool is also reversible, with a cutting surface on either side. The board is branded with the Wüsthof logo. Made of bamboo this kitchen tool will last for years--an occasional application of mineral oil will help keep the wood from drying out. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

quality board, handy size
I received this Wuestof cutting board as a gift, along with some Wuesthof knives and kitchen shears. (if you would like to read my reviews for these items, click on "see all my reviews".) It's a good combo; I only had plastic cutting boards, and the wooden ones better for your knives. Plastic ones (and don't get the really hard ones)are useful for cutting meat, and putting into the dishwasher; but the wood looks nicer. Also,it is made from bamboo, a renewable resource, and not from petrochemicals.

This 8X12 cutting board is just right size for slicing, dicing and chopping up a few veggies. The Wuesthof 4.5 inch "multi-prep cook's knife" works very well for this. The Wuesthof logo is imprinted on the front side, but I don't see "Emeril" on it anywhere. The back side of the board is a cutting board,too, but it also has four rubber "feet" which add stability when used right-side-up. Groves on either side provide easy hand-holds. Flip it right-side up, pair it with a cheese knife, and you're good to go for serving cheese.

Good price/value. Treat it well--don't use the dishwasher or serrated knives, condition it with mineral oil from time to time. Highly recommend.

Nice, Simple Cutting Board
I received this cutting board along with a knife I had purchased and find it to be fairly useful. This isn't my primary cutting board and I wouldn't intend on using it as such, but it does come in handy. It's a good size for small cutting tasks. The bamboo makes it a somewhat attractive board, but also means added upkeep. An occasional light sanding and oiling will keep the board from fading under the wear of knife scratches and cuts. The grooves cut out on the sides of the board provide great handles. Price is fair for a bamboo cutting board. If you are looking for a deal, consider purchasing as a bonus with other Wusthof products.

Pros:
> Convenient size.
> Grooves on the ends provide good handles.
> Rubber feet provide stability and slip resistance.
> Attractive.
> Fair price considering that it's bamboo and carries the Wusthof name.

Cons:
> Must be hand washed.
> Fades unless oiled. Light sanding helps remove scratches.

Wonderful Little Board
This is a wonderful board. It's the perfect size to keep in my bedroom at college but for any serious cooking you'll want something larger. I treated it with bamboo oil from crate & barrel which has done well to maintain its appearance. It also allows me to clean it by just using a damp paper towel. I wouldn't suggest putting this or any other cutting board through a washing machine as another reviewer did. Can't beat this board for the price.
