Ironwood Gourmet Acacia Wood Large End Grain Prep Station Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this block for my wife and she really likes it. Product is attractive and durable. In my research to find just the right block for her I discovered that the "End Grain" wooden boards help to prolong knife edge & sharpness. This product is an end grain board as well as something she likes having on our counters.

Chicago Cutlery Woodworks 19-1/2" x 13-1/2" Cutting Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The board is the right size for carving up a whole chicken and the "moat", while modest in width/depth, kept the counters clean.Another plus is that it is reasonably light for its size.The one small surprise for me is that the wood is so very dry.It soaked up two very generous applications of mineral oil very quickly.If it doesn't come with oiling instructions, you'll still want to oil it as soon as possible and perhaps with multiple applications each spaced out by a day.

New comments:
After seasoning the board, hand washing, and 6 months of happy use, the board split along a glued joint. This happened after it had been sitting on the counter for a week under the weight of a homemade loaf of bread and a medium-weight glass cake cover. My best guess is that the board had become just slightly (and most imperceptively) warped and the constant distributed weight provided enough stress to crack apart the glue overnight -- 6+" of it! I know nothing about woodworking but I doubt that seasoning alone can strengthen a joint or prevent minor warpage. So I'm lowering the product to a 3 star rating.

1/17/08:Maybe I need a life but I just thought I'd add that there has been no further splitting after 1.5 years of use.I guess nothing is perfect and I certainly still enjoy using the board very much.

KOHLER K-5917-NA Countertop Hardwood Cutting Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this cutting board for years, in four different kitchens.It has held up well.I haven't needed to fret about oiling it, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.For me, the main advantage of oiling it is meat juices don't absorb.The pictures don't show it well, but there is a slight liquid depression at the front of the board, which can be annoying if you are cutting and part of the thing you are cutting is over the depression, as it will not cut all the way through.Also, there are finger groove bevels on left and right bottom, which makes picking it off a flat counter much easier.I've washed mine with soap and water, and then air dried, for years.The block is still perfectly flat.No signs of warping or splitting.The block is much heavier than appearances, but still manageable.This block has been a worthwhile investment, when I think about all the other blocks I purchased over the years that did not last as long.

Joyce Chen Bamboo Wood Oil, 8 Ounces Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So called wood and "bamboo" oils are simply food grade mineral oils. You should use a wood oil in your kitchen instead of vegetable oil because mineral oil does not break down or become rancid. Wood oil gives sheen and water and stain resistance to wood items such as butcher block, cutting boards, pizza peels and wooden salad bowls. You can use wood oil to darken and restore the appearance of faded wooden knife handles or dried out wood cutting boards. This is a must have for any kitchen with wood items. If you buy any sort of wood gift this is a thoughtfull add on which will help your gift to both maintain its beauty and last longer. This product appears to be offered at the best price on Amazon. Add it to your next order.

Snow River Wood Oil is an identical product but at the price of $6.99.The Snow River oil has also been available as a 4 for 3 promotion.

Wood and bamboo oils are much less exotic than one might think. I actually use mineral oil laxative on my wood kitchen items ($2 for 16 oz. at many drug stores) which is the same thing. Clearly the laxative bottle is less than aesthetically pleasing and is embarassing to leave around the kitchen. My wife keeps hiding the bottle in fact. But No it won't have a laxative effect if you use it on your cutting boards or knife handles.
