Heavy
on August 13, 2019
Posted by: pkakkat
from Dallas TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] John BOOS 24*18*1.5 Hard rock Maple cutting board is very heavy, thick and sturdy. You will need a large counter top to work on it. It came with a care and maintenance package ie a mystery oil and a board cream. I used one side for vegetarian dishes and the other side for non vegetarian. We cook a lot so it will be perfect for us. The only drawback is as its too heavy, it is going to stay on the counter forever.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A functional work of art for the kitchen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my gorgeous new Boos board! It is expertly crafted and impeccably designed, and its substantial size is perfect for the serious cook (or just as a status symbol for the not so serious ones!) Yes, it is more “high maintenance” than your run-of-the-mill plastic cutting board, but it is so worth it as you are investing in something that will last for decades rather than something that will just get trashed sooner or later.

Huge cutting board!
on August 14, 2019
Posted by: Sanali16
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cutting board is huge! I am so used to my smaller plastic cutting boards that I forgot what a real wooden cutting board was like. It takes up a large area of my counter and it is quite heavy in terms of weight so it is inconvenient to move around if you don't have a permanent place for it in the kitchen. Since the surface area is big, I have plenty of room to chop and set items aside without struggling for space, which is something I could not do with my small cutting boards. I like the solid feel of it and it doesn’t feel like there is residue leftover after use. It is antimicrobial too so I don’t have to worry about the board being unhygienic. There are instructions on how to care for the cutting board so it seems like it will last a very long time.

Gorgeous Cutting Board

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cutting board is beautifully made and feels like it will last forever. It also came with a box of oils which was a bonus as I didn't know they were included! Cutting board is very heavy and solid.

Best cutting board I've ever had!
on August 14, 2019
Posted by: Jenny
from New Orleans
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of this cutting board is that it is gorgeous! The large size, the smooth maple wood and the genius built in side handles are perfect. I also really enjoyed the John Boos information packet, loaded with the history of the company, care and maintenance help and information on the woods used. The craftsmanship is top of the line and for a company that has been around since 1887, it's obvious they know what they are doing! This cutting board is beautiful enough to leave out on my counter and use all the time. It is also the perfect size to put over one side of my kitchen sink for prep work. Easy to clean and set aside for the next meal. The care and maintenance kit came with a board cream, mystery oil and foam cleaner. Using this mystery oil once a month is simple and ensures this cutting board will last years! I love this so much and my only regret is that I am just now adding it to my kitchen necessities! I cannot wait to explore more items from John Boos!

Cherishing Maple Cutting Board in my kitchen
on August 15, 2019
Posted by: fabi2206
from Newtown square-PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my very first Maple wood cutting board, though I did use some in much smaller size than this one. The board is quite big and quite right for my kitchen needs. It is reversible, so can be used on both the sides. The board looks very premium.
Below are the specs:
Below are the specs:
* Northern Hard Rock Maple * 24x18x1.5" thick * Edge grain construction * Boos Block Cream With Beeswax Finish * With recessed finger grips * Reversible * Renewable & Sustainable * Antimicrobial * National Sanitation Foundation Certified * Made In The USA
The packaging was really nice, with enough support to ship it to me. Its quite heavy around 19Lbs and thick too for a heavy duty performance. The surface seemed little rough but I realized I must clean it first by oiling the board. I used the cleaning kit which contains Oil, cream and an applicator. After applying oil and cream, the board became more smooth and hydrated than before. I used the board almost for every chopping work I do in the kitchen, from vegetable to fruits to breads etch, no meat as I am vegetarian. The board is quite wide and large, I could chop easily several lots of vegetables without any crunch of space and it stayed put without moving when in use. I keep a layer of paper towel underneath since it is reversible, should be able to use both the sides with no damage on the other side.I have been using this board for couple of weeks and did not see any cracking or change in shape due to usage and cleaning, it has the same look and shape. I always wipe the moisture from the board after each use and scrape any left over food particles .
The cleaning it the key so make sure to follow the cleaning instructions if you want to maintain well this chopping board without any issues. It depends how much you are using the board, clean it with the cleaning kit as and when needed. I make sure to clean it at least once a week with the oil and cream to maintain cleanliness and hygiene and as well to keep the board strong.
So far the board is going strong and I am cherishing its presence in my kitchen counter. Every precious thing comes with a care , so care it by cleaning it regularly with recommenced cleaning kit for a satisfactory experience.

Beautiful, quality cutting board!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Boos Blocks maple cutting board is a very solid, high quality board. The wood is very sturdy and thick, and feels smooth to the touch. The colors of the wood are also very beautiful and accent my kitchen very well. The cutting board came with a treatment that helps to seal the wood, which is very convenient. I have used my board several times in meal preparation, and have been very satisfied with the quality and performance.

Quality is #1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received our cutting board which came with an awesome set of moisturizer and maintenance kit. We absolutely LOVE IT! It's a massive heavy duty cutting board and we know if we take care of it will last for years. Very pretty wood with no blemishes. Handles are nice because it is heavy to carry. I'm a Boos fan for life we will buy more soon
