T&G Tuscany Rectangular End Grain Chopping Board with Finger Grooves in Acacia, Medium, 38 x 26 x 4 cm 10942

This is a lovely item. I had read many positive reviews about this item before I made the purchase and yet was still surprised how good quality it is. A heavy, thick chopping board that looks the part and is more than fit for purpose. It's the sort you'd leave out on the worktop purely for the look and definitely has the classic look to it – none of that colour coded plastic stuff that looks straight from a wendy house. I'm not a particularly enthusiastic cook, but appreciate a good quality product, and worst comes to worst, you could always use it to bludgeon a home invader or 'accidentally' euthanise one of the kids hamsters by knocking it off the counter. You're welcome.

Brilliant piece of wood, well made and solid feel to the product. Looks great in the kitchen, cutting stuff is a treat, and very easy to upkeep with regular oiling. A very slight irritation is the break in smoothness of the surface by their engraved logo on one side, which is trickier to clean and a collection point for all the juices. We have started avoiding cutting altogether on that side, but if you want to use both sides you have to be very careful around that area. Wish T&G would improve the design in their newer versions of this otherwise excellent product.

Great item

I really like this board. I bought this one and another end-grain in Hevea from T & G. That way I have two different colour boards, 1 for meat and poultry, with the other for everything else. Prevents cross-contamination and possible food poisoning by doing this and it is something I've done for years. Why not five stars? A couple of reasons: 1. T&G have stupidly had their logo recessed onto the main chopping surface of the wood. If they really wanted a logo then they should have located it on the side edge of the board so as not to be on the actual chopping surface. It is a great place for little bits of food, germs and bacteria to gather and multiply. It just makes the board harder to keep clean and hygienic (I use a an old toothbrush and a little lemon or lime juice). A really dumb thing for T&G to do and in my book counts as a design flaw. (It is the very same reason I don't by pots with rivets or screws for mounting the handles as it provides a place for germs hide). 2. I would have preferred to have had different woods available. Maple or walnut would have been nice as, in my opinion, they are better types of wood for this type of application as the grain heals itself a bit better while still being kind to the knives. What are the advantages of end-grain? An end-grain chopping block keeps the knives much sharper. With the average wooden block a knife will crush against the wood fibres during the chopping the chopping motion. With an end-grain block, the blade will go between the fibres, a bit like cutting into a firm brush. Because of this action the blade will keep it's keenness, meaning it won't dull or lose it sharpness and the knife will also last longer. It also stops the block from being cut in to which in turn keeps it looking nicer for longer too as well as protecting it from damage and the need for resurfacing. It is definitely worth the investment if you have good knives. Cleaning: Whatever you do, don't clean this board immersed in water inside the kitchen sink as you will kill the board. Just wipe down with a soapy wet cloth and immediately dry with a kitchen towel. An occasional wipe down with plain vinegar or lemon juice will also remove any bacterial build-up, but you will have to clean and re-season with food-grade mineral oil afterwards. Bottom line: I love the knots and any other so-called imperfections in the wood as it just adds to the uniqueness of every block. These blocks look superb sitting on the counter with one caveat. They only remain looking good if you regularly treat or season them with food-grade mineral oil. I use Catskill Original Butchers Block Oil for this process. Lovely product. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Great item and works perfectly and for the price I highly recommend this item Excellent value for money No issues with the alleged faults some people state, mine arrived well packaged and sticker removed fine if you take your time, looks chunky and professional, I always get compliments on it. If you’re in doubt because of the price, I promise you it’s well worth the money, oil it well every few months and it should last a lifetime, £9.99 for the oil which should last years and years too, I can’t speak highly enough of the Chopping Board, I’ve been using it a few months now with no issues. Word of advice do not put Wood in the dishwasher, treat it well and it will outlast you. I wish T&G would send me more products to review, although I did purchase this one, I’d gladly give an honest opinion on other products they have. T&G products are absolutely fantastic and well worth the slightly extra money Well done guys

Cracking solid chopping board, don’t know what the reviews were all about with the stickers? Mine came off very easily However only used it a few times and there are marks on it already, i thought it would be more hard wearing than it is 🤔

The board itself is lovely, not much to complain at all. However the person decided that it was a good idea to stick them labels on needs to get fired!!! Took absolutely forever to remove residue and even then it’s not 100% clean

I bought this for my foodie husband's Christmas present as his last block warper. He loved it (and he's a fussy so and so) it's a great size, feels really sturdy, made of lovely smooth wood and a nicer colour wood than some others I looked at. Would definitely buy again, though I don't think I'll need to for many years

Possesseur de plusieurs planches à découper T&G, j'ai retrouvé avec celle-ci les mêmes qualités que les précédentes. Un bel acacia en bois de bouts, une bonne épaisseur et une finition de qualité. La rainure pour l'écoulement des jus (viande ou fruits) est bien lisse et les encoches pour les doigts assez profondes. C'est donc un bon produit au prix justifié.

buen tamaño, resistente, ya me la han tirado al suelo mis gatos y no se ha roto. estoy contento con la compra

まず色と太さと大きさが気に入りました。海外の方が大きめのカットボードを使われてて使いやすそだなと思って 切った物をバットとかに分けておくよりもそのまままな板の上におけるのが本当に良い。 今まで小さめのを使って洗い物増やしてたけど本当にいいし、見た目もいいのでお料理する気分が上がります。お値段もお手ごろでした

Prodotto valido e bello da vedere, consegna velocissima. L’ho comprato per fare un regalo ed è stato molto apprezzato. Ovviamente se viene utilizzato un po’ si riga e la sua robustezza è eccezionale.

Hat nach einem Jahr normale Gebrauchsspuren
