Know before you buy
Edge-grain construction uses long strips of wood glued together, which provides a sturdy, durable surface that is resistant to deep knife scarring. It is an excellent choice for daily chopping and slicing tasks.
To keep the maple wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or a specialized Boos Block cream. This maintains the wood's integrity and keeps it looking its best.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. One side is completely flat for general chopping, while the other features a juice groove designed to catch liquids when carving meats or juicy fruits.
No, this board should never be placed in a dishwasher. High heat and excessive moisture will cause the wood to warp or crack; instead, hand wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately.
Yes, the integrated finger grips on the sides make it much easier to lift the board off your countertop, especially since the 1.5-inch thickness gives it a substantial, heavy feel.
