Boos block makes great cutting boards but you really need to know a few basic things to get a long life span out of them. Never let them soak in the sink. Dishwashers are an absolute no. Wash after use and allow to dry standing up. I do use the Boos products every once in a blue moon to pamper the boards but honestly, I hardly ever bother. My other board has been going strong for over 4 years with no trouble.
Only had it about a month, but so far so good. Nice and thick. This board 1 1/4" thick, the board it replaced eventually warped, it was only 3/4 thick. So worth the extra money to get a thick heavy board that will not move around when cutting. The main thing about any cutting board is to oil it regularly. When you order the board, be sure to order "Block Oil." I like this for regular maintenance of the board. I have tried others, like this oil the best. How often to oil? One brand I saw recommended once/day for the first week...once week for the first month...then once month. This is what I did with this board. However, since the board brand new and of course dry, for the first 7 days I oiled with plain pure mineral oil since you can buy in any drug store for a cheap price. After that, starting using the "Block Oil." Block Oil - Non Toxic Bamboo and Wood Oil Finish (Natural) This oil hard to find in the stores so recommend you buy it from Amazon same time as the board. We have very sharp Japanese knives, the board is holding up to them. This board on the Test Kitchen recommended list. Worth it so far. Bought this size as it fits nicely in our kitchen cabinet drawer.
Two things to consider with a solid wood product splitting: 1) Where does the split occur? 2) How was the product stored and handled? A split along a seam is manufacture. A split in a piece of wood could be material selection, but is more likely care. That includes the care given during transportation and storage between the manufacturer and your kitchen. A board that has been stored in a humid environment or allowed to get wet may not recover well, or quickly. Buy from a reputable seller. Check packaging for signs of moisture or stress. Allow the board time to acclimate before oiling and using, if it's been transported from a different climate. Be careful about using the board near a range top, where heat can stress the wood if it's wet.
I love my board, will continue to care for it, and expect to see many more years of use from it.
The issues:
- The board is supposed to be edge wood, yet one plank is obviously heartwood with a massive knot, as shown. The knot is pitted - a couple of the pits are large enough that they look like somebody stabbed a thumbtack into the knot. This area will accumulate food soil regardless of the surface treatment. Cross-contamination is pretty much guaranteed, not to mention eventual rot, etc.
- One plank edge is already starting to split, and this thing is new. More areas for food soil to stick, as well as a sign that the board is likely to come apart at some point.
- The entire surface of the board feels rough and not quite finished. Passing a finger over the surface, you can also feel the joints. Boos boards generally have a planed and sanded surface.
I've used John Boos boards before, and this one just has so many problems that it might not even be genuine. With that said, I guess there are always going to be a few bad apples in any production run for a product, so if you got a great one, congratulations - but I didn't.
The one good thing here is that the return process seems like it's going to be fairly painless, considering that it doesn't ship from Amazon, but from a third-party vendor. I'll reorder and keep my fingers crossed. But if the replacement is in the same condition, I'm tempted to just call a local restaurant supply store and see if I can buy just one board. I don't know if that'll work, as they tend to sell massive orders to restaurants, but we'll see.
(Apologies for the shadows in the pics, but that's due to the can lighting placement in the kitchen ceiling being set well back from the counters.)
