Calphalon 16-by-14-Inch Rectangular Cutting Board Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This rectangular, end-grain cutting board by Calphalon is the best cutting board I have ever used. It is super thick, easy on our expensive knives, totally non-slip, and easy to pick up and move. The only thing about it that gave me a bit of trouble, was the first time I washed it before I used it, I got carried away and got too much water on it for too long. Even though I dried it off, it bowed up pretty badly. I turned it over so the board was resting on the bowed part, and left it alone, and in about one week it had dried back out and returned to it's original, level, beautiful condition. Since then I have oiled it several times, and each time it gets prettier. I have another, older and smaller wooden board that I use only for meats, fish, and poultry, and use the Calphalon board for veggies and breads and cheeses...in other words, for things that don't have the capability of transmitting bacteria as easily so I won't feel the need to wash it quite as vigorously as that first time. It is pretty enough that it has a permanent place on the kitchen counter, and could certainly double as a serving platter at a casual party. While the price might be a little steep, I don't foresee ever needing another cutting board again!

Chefs who prize quality cutlery will appreciate this Calphalon cutting board, which is designed to keep your favorite knives from dulling. The 16-by-14-inch board's premium end-grain hardwood construction cushions the knife blade during every cut, whether slicing through sourdough, tomatoes, or potatoes. The hardwood construction offers more than just a soft impact, however--it's also attractive (reminiscent of a parquet floor) and holds up durably through the years (it measures 2 inches thick). Unlike many other cutting boards, this piece also makes a great display piece or serving platter for cheeses and other appetizers. Chefs don't need to worry about the block sliding thanks to the nonslip feet on the bottom, nor will carrying be an issue due to the handy finger grooves. The board, which should be washed by hand for best results, carries a limited lifetime warranty.
