Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas, Pinzon, and Amazon.com introduce a line of multi-functional kitchen products that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. This 22-3/5-by-16-by-2-inch board features three stainless-steel cups, so it can be used for chopping ingredients, prep work, and serving at the table. Our product is made with 100% bamboo, a fast-growing plant, which can be cultivated at the same rate or faster than it is used. The board will not swell, split, or absorb moisture. It’s handcrafted using flattened strips of cured bamboo bonded together with US-certified, formaldehyde-free adhesive specifically developed for food contact surfaces. The unique look is created by setting small sections of the end grain in opposing directions. Three stainless-steel prep cups, each with an approximate 1/2-cup capacity, are removable for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or for individual use. To clean, wash the board with warm water and mild detergent and occasionally wipe with mineral oil. To maintain the beauty of the board, do not place it in the dishwasher.

Tom's Tips Use this board to present and slice leg of lamb and offer three dipping sauces (aioli, sweet pepper harissa, cool cucumber sauce). Great for sauce and service at table. This board goes from the kitchen right to the table.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Quality, January 13, 2010

This review is from: Tom Douglas by Pinzon Bamboo Prep-and-Serve Board with Stainless-Steel Cups (Kitchen)

I used this board twice and loved being able to scoop the chopped veggies into the prep cups. However, it cracked after just a few days in the house (sitting on a flat surface). It was not dropped or stored anywhere except on a flat surface. So I exchanged it. The second one arrived with a huge crack alongside the row of cups. Obviously, these boards are not made to last. We are returning it for a refund.

This review is from: Tom Douglas by Pinzon Bamboo Prep-and-Serve Board with Stainless-Steel Cups (Kitchen)

Love it, love it, love it. I've tried a lot of cutting boards. This is by far the best. Plenty of cutting space, and the cups...how did I ever get along without them? It's also beautiful on my counter top so it never has to be put away.

(What's this?)

Call me crazy, but this thing actually makes me feel more confident in the kitchen. It weighs a ton, but comes very well packaged. The quality is outstanding, like all other Pinzon products. Amazon really does put a lot of effort into procuring great stuff for their Pinzon lineup. My only 2 minor gripes with the prep board are that because of its weight, it is a hassle to clean, and that the stainless steel cups could be a little heavier. Other than that, I've been chopping like crazy on this thing, and used it several time as a prep and serve board, as it is intended.
