Know before you buy
The substantial 2.25-inch thickness provides excellent stability, ensuring the board stays firmly in place while you chop or carve. It also adds significant weight, which prevents the board from sliding during heavy-duty food preparation.
Yes, the board features a reversible design. You can use one side for raw meats and the other for vegetables or bread to prevent cross-contamination, or simply flip it over to extend the time between deep cleanings.
To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or the included Boos Board Cream. Avoid soaking the board in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp.
The integrated finger grooves are carved into the ends of the board, providing a secure grip for lifting and moving it. Given the board's 13.5-pound weight, these grooves are essential for safely transporting it from the counter to the table.
Edge-grain construction is highly durable and offers a firm surface that is gentle on your knife blades. It is a classic choice for butcher blocks because it balances long-term resilience with a smooth, consistent cutting experience.
