Product Description

Totally Bamboo's Zambia cutting board is designed with the epicurean kitchen in mind. 16% harder than maple, Bamboo makes a superior material for cutting boards. The Zambia cutting board is handcrafted using flattened strips of cured Bamboo bonded together with the highest rated, US laboratory tested and certified, formaldehyde-free adhesive specifically developed for food contact surfaces. Zambia's size, 13.5 x 7.25, makes it perfect for slicing and serving crusty french bread with fresh mozzarella. Zambia's unique look is created using the end grain or cross-section of the bamboo pole. Small sections of the end grain are set in opposing directions creating the parquet design. No stains or paint are used to create the two-tones of Zambia. The light tone is the Natural color of the Moso Bamboo and the scrumptious Honey shade is created in a very specialized heating process which caramelizes the natural sugar in the wood. These colors are permanent and will not fade or wash out. Care: wash with warm water and mild detergent and occasionally wipe with mineral oil (Do not clean in the dishwasher). An Ecological wonder, Bamboo is a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in 3 to 5 years. It has an extensive root system that continually develops new shoots thus not requiring replanting making it an incredible self-renewing resource and a brilliant alternative to the wide spread clear cutting of our world's hard wood forests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cutting board for small jobs, January 6, 2008

I bought this cutting board because Cook's Illustrated recommended the equivalent larger board (Totally Bamboo Congo) but I needed a replacement for my smaller board. The end-grain bamboo is great for the knives, the board looks great, and the size is perfect for smaller jobs: chopping a few veggies or slicing some cheese for example. I'm now going to buy the Congo to replace my larger end-grain maple board, which is too heavy for everyday use. These boards are thick enough to feel sturdy, but not so heavy as a 2 inch thick maple board.

This is an ideal cutting board. It's not too big, yet it's not too small, it's perfect for most every day jobs. Rinses well (of course you don't use soap on wood).

This review is from: Totally Bamboo Zambia Cutting Board (Kitchen)

I just received this board today. I know the company is trying to be eco-friendly, which is great, but I really think a thin plastic wrapping around it would have been better than it just being shipped bare with a ribbon attached to it. If you look at the pictures submitted by another reviewer, you'll see the green ribbon around the board. Mine had that as well, but it was glued directly to the board, leaving two 1-inch sized squares of sticky glue on either side of my board, which I can't get off. :-( I don't know if that's a big enough excuse to send it back, though.
