What customers say
Customers view the Boos Reversible Cherry Cutting Board as a premium kitchen centerpiece, praising its rich, beautiful cherry wood aesthetic. A key functional highlight is the integrated grips, which reviewers consistently cite for providing exceptional stability during heavy chopping. The board earns top marks for professional grade quality, noted by its substantial weight and thickness, confirming its durability.

Those neglecting care sometimes report warping, but for the dedicated chef, the sentiment remains virtually flawless.
Know before you buy
No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive moisture will cause the natural wood to warp or crack; it should be hand-washed only.
No, this model does not feature a juice groove. It is designed with a flat surface, which maximizes the available workspace for chopping and makes it ideal for serving charcuterie or cheese.
To keep the wood from drying out, you should regularly apply a food-grade mineral oil or Boos Board Cream. This helps seal the wood fibers and prevents cracking over time.
At over 20 pounds, this is a substantial, heavy-duty board. However, it features integrated finger grooves on the sides, which provide a secure grip for lifting and flipping the board.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. You can use both sides for food preparation, which helps distribute wear evenly across the surface.
This board does not come with non-slip feet, so it may shift on smooth surfaces. If you find it sliding, placing a damp kitchen towel or a silicone mat underneath the board will keep it securely in place.
