Boos Block BBQ Chopping Board - Juice Groove - 24 x 18 x 2,25 Inches

Buen material y tamaño decente

I'll make this simple. I wanted a Boos Block for years and has looked at all the different ones they sell and finally decided to get one. I chose this one because I like the handles. I could not be happier. I know it sounds crazy but chopping things on this board is a dream. Things simply chop better, no more flying into the floor. At least it seems so to me. If you are waffling, get yourself a Boos Block.

If you haven’t done your research on how to maintain and care for a boosblock board do yourself a favor and read some of the tips and advice on here. Firstly, it comes dry. Very dry. You MUST purchase the mystery oil and the cream to oil it and seal it before use. I took someone’s advice on here and oiled it for 3 days and 2 days of cream seal. Probably could have used another day of oil. I didn’t take a picture before I oiled but think dry 2x4. The pictures I provided is the color after 5 days of love. I finally gave it the final wipe and used it to break down a slab of New York strip steaks. Board is thick heavy and truly feels professional grade. Should have decades of use if properly used and cared for. The surface area is massive. It’s own work station for sure. Updates: Been like 2 months now and I’ve used it every day and have done most things a cook does and some dough and baking stuff. I’m beating up and it’s taking the abuse. I’ve unintentionally put some gashes in it with the cleaver and a little hot water and some boos cream and it closed up pretty good. I know it looks pretty brand new but it’s a lot of fun going to town on it. 3 month update: I still love it. Was a great show piece this forth of July as a charcuterie board.

Nach etlichen Versuchen ein wirklich gutes und schönes Holzbrett zu finden, welche in Rücksendungen endeten, haben wir dieses Brett von Boos Blocks gekauft. Wir sind dem Rat einiger Rezensenten und des Herstellers gefolgt, und haben es mit den beiden Pflegeprodukten von Boos Block behandelt. Dann haben wir angefangen es zu benutzen. Das Brett ist von erstklassiger Qualität. Es ist perfekt gearbeitet und es ist eine Freude darauf zu schneiden. Natürlich sind die Schnittspuren zu sehen, und das Holz nimmt auch die Färbung von stark färbenden Lebensmitteln (beispielsweise Rote Beete) etwas an. Doch letztlich ist es ein Arbeitsmittel und die Spuren machen es nur noch authentischer. Ein wenig vom Mystery Oil macht auch, dass die Spuren nur bei wirklich genauem Hinsehen sichtbar sind. Es lohnt sich also wirklich, in dieses nachhaltig produzierte erstklassige Holzbrett zu investieren.

Please know this is a very heavy, well built, solid maple edge grain cutting board. Do not listen to the reviews that talk about the board cracking or splitting. These reviews are from people that have not properly seasoned their board on a regular basis. You have to ensure the board is properly seasoned and then you must season it on a regular basis like monthly or more frequently depending on you usage. When I first receive the cutting board it was wrapped in plastic. I do not know how long it was sitting on the shelf but it was very dry. I oiled it with Boos Block Mystery oil 5 different times before it stopped soaking in. Remember after each oiling DO NOT lay the board flat. Rather stand it on the edge. This will ensure the board gets air on both sides and the oil will evenly absorb. Let the board sit on the edge overnight and then wipe off any excess the next morning. Once the board is properly oiled you will only need to oil it once a month depending on your usage. Next you have to apply a cutting board wax to the board. I applied one coating of the Boos Board Cream and again let the board sit on its edge overnight. The next morning wipe off any excess cream and you are done. Now here in the important reminder for storage. High quality cutting boards should never be laid flat and left that way for storage. You must store the cutting board on its edge. This ensures proper air circulation around the board. I purchased this board strictly for cooked or smoked meat. No vegetable and no raw meat. You will enjoy this cutting board for the rest of your life.
