Oxo Good Grips Bamboo Cutting Board Review

Oxo Good Grips Bamboo Cutting Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have the 12x16 version of this board, and I really loved it up until a few days ago. Good knife feel, lots of control, non-slip, attractive, and cleans up easily. Unfortunately, after about four months of daily use, it has bowed slightly. It is no longer stable on the counter if I set it grooved-side-down. I've placed a sheet of shelf liner underneath to rectify the problem, but it sort of defeats the purpose of why I bought it in the first place.
I am careful about keeping my wooden utensils and cutting boards well-oiled and away from excessive moisture, so it wasn't due to neglect.
I also scarred up the silicone edge a bit, when I was slicing vegetables near one side of the board. Not a huge problem, just unsightly. Also, there's a slight edge on the silicone sides that makes it difficult to sweep food off. Just make sure to sweep off one of the long sides.
I'm going to see if Oxo will exchange it for me; I'm hoping it was just a fluke.

Mountain Woods 16 Inch Round Serving/Cutting Board Review

Mountain Woods 16 Inch Round Serving/Cutting Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was delighted to find these affordable boards after scouring the net for a 16 inch round tray, plate or board to use for serving Ethiopian food. It is very hard to find any large round, especially one that is flat and without a lip. What a neat, clean kitchen tool! I got 2 boards, and they are just big enough for the huge injera (sour dough bread), which is used as a plate for Ethiopian meals of kik wat (lentil stew), shiro (split peas), rice and salad. This way I can lay out the injera, place all the ingredients on it and bring it to the table easily. Ethiopian food is an absolutely fabulous taste treat, and this adds to the fun! My biggest problem is where to store them! With the pizza peel, i suppose. I love my new servers, and will probably paint some designs on them, knowing that if I screw that up, they can always be turned over!

Wusthof 2036 Bamboo Cutting Board Review

Wusthof 2036 Bamboo Cutting Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

I used these as gifts to go along with homemade flavored olive oil. They were exceptional considering the price and I got them fast and they were exactly as expected. These would also make good sushi plates, that is kinda what they looked like.

Live green- be green. Out of the woods of Oregon is proud of our green heritage.Long before it was fashionable, we were concerned with conserving our resources and caring for our environment.Our wood products are made in Eugene, Oregon using Oregon red alder.Red alder is a sustainable hardwood that flourishes in the lush climate of the coastal pacific northwest.Red alder is re-planted as it is harvested ensuring the sustainability of this beautiful resource for decades to come.Of equal importance to us, is the wise use of the wood.Much of our wood comes from local furniture manufacturers because we are able to use their short and narrow pieces (fall down) to create many of our products.Short boards, not long enough for their use, are used to make our cutting and serving boards.Very narrow pieces of wood are used to make our spice racks and push pulls.We even use our saw dust to heat many of our buildings.We offer an extensive line of cutting boards for basic kitchen use as well as a wide assortment of specialty boards great for serving dips, pate's, cheeses, and oils.We are proud to be wood workers in Eugene, Oregon and we hope you will enjoy using our products as much as we enjoy making them.

This is a great cutting board; it is large enough for almost anything and it has a solid weight to it so it won't slide around. Buy some bamboo oil for it too so it stays in good condition over time.

A smart choice for appetizer presentation or bread and cheese on a buffet, this Island Bamboo platter doubles as cutting board to simplify prep work. It features vertical grain, caramelized colors, and natural antimicrobial properties, and it measures a generous 20 by 1 by 14 inches. Made from moso bamboo, which is not a food source for the giant panda, the platter is unique, functional, attractive, and earth friendly. A handsome and durable material, moso bamboo comes from renewable sources and is 16 percent harder than maple. A heating and curing process darkens the natural sugars in the bamboo, resulting in an attractively varied caramel coloring.
Island Bamboo prides itself on innovative designs and quality craftsmanship, using only natural and approved food-grade bonding glues and select-grade bamboo. Colors do not come from stains or dyes and will not wash out or fade with use. For best maintenance of Island Bamboo products, wash by hand with soap and water and periodically apply food-safe Bamboo Renew.

Architec Acacia Gripper Raw Edge Cutting Board, 11 by 17-Inch Review

I like the raw edge trend and thought this cutting board would make a good presentation piece for cheeses. In person it's less of a true raw edge and more that one edge is distressed or sanded down. So it doesn't have the same rugged, earthy visual impact as pictured. Also there was a bit of a putty repair on the surface which is fairly obvious. However it is a solid board, the wood is good quality and it doesn't slip. So if you're looking for a utilitarian cutting board this is fine, but if you're searching for more of a unique statement piece it's not a great choice, the detail work just isn't there.
