Customer Reviews

Don't pay attention to other novice reviewers
Wow, how dumb; these other reviews are astounding. First Fine quality wooden boards don't come with a "sealer"; you must care for your board by oiling (mineral) regularly. Second, if you correctly hand-wash and air dry your board then warping is never an issue, especially for a board that is 1.25+ inches thick.

These are not cheap, low quality boards. These are professional grade and should be treated as such. If you are uninformed enough to cut meat on these boards or put them in a dishwasher then you will destroy them.

John Boos cutting board very durable
The John Boos Chop-N-Slice cutting board is a very good board that exceeded my expectations. Over the holidays, my in-laws were staying with us and did most of the cooking. I was worried that my brand new board would not survive the abuse because of the way they cleaned and used it. Normally, I would clean the board with a wet soapy towel and immediately rinse and dry. My in-laws on-the-other-hand would wash it in the sink with copious amounts of running hot water and lots of soap and let it air on the dish rack. The cutting board held well despite this repetitive cleaning, and I didn't notice any warping or splitting which I noticed on my previous wooden cutting boards. I did see some splintering on the corners which is expected since this board's edges are not rounded.

Obvious quality, good value
I looked quite a long time for a cutting board to use on my kitchen island and finally decided on the Boos 20" x 15" x 1.5". It arrived extremely well packaged and in perfect condition.

The actual thickness was 1.25", but this didn't detract from its usability. I chose this size because I wanted something substantial enough for usual cutting chores, but also something that would still fit (mostly) into the sink for washing/rinsing. This fit the bill perfectly.

It first appeared that it would slide around the counter a bit while being used, but I actually haven't found it to be a problem (and I use it a lot now).

Quality is very good and on par with what one would expect from a John Boos product. Care is typical and I also highly recommend using the Mystery Oil initially and regularly to keep your board in top shape. I believe reports of splitting or drying are directly related to a lack of care.

I'd buy this again - highly recommended.
