Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Jump on the bamboo bandwagon with this versatile cutting board, which offers an ideal surface for slicing, dicing, and chopping your favorite foods. Bamboo is growing in stature as an all-purpose wood that's terrific in flooring and furniture. Its popularity stems from not only from its durability, but also because it grows like a weed (up to 1 foot per day). This hardiness makes it much more ecologically sustainable and cost effective than timber. Even better for chefs, bamboo is 16 percent harder than maple, so it holds up extremely well against sharp knives and thick cleavers. The cutting board features a honey-toned body with light brown, rounded edges, and offers bamboo's attractive reedy texture (the laminated strips are glued together using food-grade glue). The bamboo material is also remarkably resistant to moisture, so it won't shrink or swell like many traditional cutting boards. And measuring 12 by 18 by 3/4 inches, it gives chefs plenty of working space. The board should be hand washed, though its durability makes it extremely easy to maintain.

For a "harder than maple" board, it sure isn't as sturdy!,
By Terri and Lexi (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Island Bamboo 12-by-18-Inch Cutting Board (Kitchen)
I am so disappointed in this cutting board. The first one I got, looked like it had been gouged and used. I got a replacement easily enough, but this one cracked all the way down the middle the first time I used it and washed it. I hand washed with a mild soap and water immediately after I used it and even rubbed it with mineral oil. When I took it out to use again, I discovered it had a crack in it. Very disappointing and what a waste of my Christmas gift certificate. Don't buy this, it is junk!

Great board,

The cutting board is hard, made of a renewable resource (bamboo), doesn't mark easily, but feels like wood, only looks better. Cleans off easily and dries fast.
Just don't leave food sitting on it for two days and expect it to be mold-free. I didn't do this, but that's cause I'm not insane. As some others might be.

Clean immediately after use or experience mold,
By
This review is from: Island Bamboo 12-by-18-Inch Cutting Board (Kitchen)
I got one of these attractive looking boards and treated it with a beewax-based wood maintenance product. The board sucked up very little wax compared to my other boards.
After a good meal with friends I was prevented from doing the dishes right away and the board ended sitting for two days before cleaning. By this time it had collected mold that is situated deep into the surface of the board and which I regard impossible to remove. I haven't and didn't experience this with any other board. The board looks good (without mold) and is very resistant to cutting marks, but if you decide to get one you should probably make sure to clean it right away after any use. I do not know if this is a general characteristic of bamboo or a quality of this particular board. I would have appreciated a word of warning or a useful guide as to how the board needs to be treated differently from boards made of wood. For my next board I will probably try to find an end-grain board made of American maple. American maple is significantly harder than European maple. -- Tore
