Chop-N-Slice boards are ideal boards for everyday use. Versatile and more lightweight than RA or R Boards, Chop-N-Slice Boards measure 1-1.25 inches thick. Available with or without a groove, these NSF certified boards are sure to become the go-to board in your kitchen for years to come. John Boos products are designed to meet the demanding expectations of commercial kitchens, and exceed the highest level of quality and food safety standards. Each board and block is made from sustainably harvested North American hardwoods, and offers a commercial grade cutting surface that protects the sharp edge on fine cutlery. Often imitated, John Boos and Co. is internationally known for its expertise in crafting American hardwoods into products of beauty, durability and function. Simple board care can ensure this heirloom, handcrafted board is a favorite in your kitchen for years to come. Every John Boos Board and Block comes with a food safe natural oil finish that helps protect the wood during transit. Once a month, apply an even coat of NSF Approved John Boos Mystery Oil (sold separately), and allow it to soak in overnight. Repeat this process more often when the board is brand new and “thirsty,” or if you live in a dry, arid climate. John Boos recommends applying John Boos Board Cream (also sold separately) to seal the top of the wood surface after applying the Mystery Oil. A few quick minutes of regular oil application will ensure your new board is properly seasoned, and ready for work! After use, wash board with warm, soapy water (all wooden cutting boards are not dishwasher safe and should not be soaked in water). Since 1887, every genuine John Boos cutting board and butcher block has been proudly made in Effingham, Illinois by skilled craftspeople using time honored techniques. Today, USA made John Boos cutting boards and butcher blocks are used and loved in commercial and home kitchens worldwide. Review: Requires some pre-usage work - The groove is too wide for this small cutting board, the surface is not very smooth (for oiling it is better to use sponge or microfiber instead of a kitchen towel). The JB cutting boards are very dry, not seasoned, so you need to spend some efforts on oiling Review: Pricey but high quality - This is by far the best quality chopping board we have had so I am hoping we get many years of use from it. This particular model is the thinnest one listed on desertcart and personally I would not want to have it any thicker as it would become just a bit too heavy and awkward to handle. The same goes for the size and the next one up would be too big for our work surfaces and cupboards, ## Features - Versatile and dependable cutting board helps you prepare ingredients efficiently for your meals; Kitchen must-have for beginner home cooks to professional chefs - Features a reversible design with flat cutting surfaces for seamless chopping, prepping, and serving; Thin profile ensures the Boos block is easy to store, transport, and maneuver - Crafted from Northern hard rock maple wood, this cutting board showcases quality construction; Maple wood chopping block is great as a charcuterie board, displaying snacks, and culinary creations - Edge grain design guarantees lasting durability, giving you the confidence to execute various culinary techniques with no worry; Easier on knives than plastic cutting boards - Natural cream finish with beeswax seals and protects the cutting board; Hand wash with mild soap and cold water and do not soak; Do not put in dishwasher or microwave ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000DDXCT | | Additional Features | Lightweight, Reversible | | Best Sellers Rank | #83,762 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #740 in Chopping Boards | | Brand | John Boos | | Brand Name | John Boos | | Color | Maple | | Colour | Maple | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 3,286 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00662969062156 | | Included Components | Tray | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 25.4L x 25.4W x 2.5Th centimeters | | Item Type Name | Cutting Board | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | John Boos | | Manufacturer Part Number | 215 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | 215 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand wash and dry.

Can anyone give me the actual name of the product? (NOTE: I already have the "Mystery Oil" in my cart.)** A: The actual name of the product is Boos Block Board Cream. It is marketed on the tube as, "Natural Moisturizer for All Types of Wood". The listed ingredients are Natural Unbleached Bee's Wax and Food Grade Mineral Oil. I use the product roughly once a week to moisturize the wood after first wiping the board down with a water soaked cloth. The entire board requires roughly one teaspoon of product on a cloth to moisturize the entire surface. **Q: Our board has a very strong, strange smell, does anyone know what causes this and if it will go away? It kind of smells like burnt rubber.** A: Hello Ms Wenzel, Well, we have to say you stumped us on this one! This board is made from Maple Wood with an all- natural oil finish. Have you owned the board for awhile? Did you purchase it from Amazon or from a third party seller here on Amazon? Have you used other oil products on it? We do know that when people use food based oils (coconut, olive oil- both not recommended), they could potentially go rancid, which would lead to an unpleasant smell. If that perhaps is the case, we recommend the following: Wash your John Boos cutting board with hot soapy water or rinse with a vinegar or chlorine bleach solution. (1 teaspoon bleach to one quart of water/5-to-1 ratio of vinegar to water) Do not soak the board in water, this will damage the wood. Like all natural wood cutting boards, John Boos boards are not intended for the dishwasher. Use John Boos Mystery oil (sold here on Amazon) to moisturize and protect the board when it is dry. Repeat oil every month, or more often if the board is new or you live in a dry climate. These quick steps will ensure this board is a constant companion for years to come! Please do write us back if you have further questions. We are curious to hear about a resolution! Sincerely, John Boos and Co **Q: Ate your boards formaldehyde free?** A: Hello, Boos Boards and Blocks are formaldehyde free Thanks, John Boos and Co **Q: Should this board feel unfinished and really scratchy? I have a different size in the same series and that one is totally smooth. Counterfeit?** A: Mine came in nice condition. It feels like it’s a little dusty but is not. Some have sanded a board.. If so do NOT use steel wool which can leave fine filament behind. Also do not use water on the board before sealing with mineral oil or Boos cream, etc. It will raise the grain. I have a 12x12 and handle board that are nearly 50 years old. Side note, don’t use serrated knives on maple boards. And I cut meats and never had a health issue. Research will answer a lot of concerns like flattening a warped board. Hope this helped and good luck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Requires some pre-usage work *by D***Y on 14 April 2024* The groove is too wide for this small cutting board, the surface is not very smooth (for oiling it is better to use sponge or microfiber instead of a kitchen towel).
