WLMPremium Teak Wood Cutting Board 17"x11"x2" – Reversible Butcher Block, End Grain Cutting Board With Juice Groove, Inner Handles, and Cracker Holder

Food prep

Bought this cutting board for my husband for a Christmas present and after a couple of weeks of use it’s cracking on all four sides. Not worth the money.

The first time "this" got delivered, there were t-shirts insode the box clearly labeled "cutting board" instead of an actual cutting board. Thankfull customer service was VERY quick to send me a new one, and this time, I actually got the cutting board LOL!The board itself is really nice quality. Nice deep juice channels, perfect for cutting up messy things. Washes well, doesn't hold onion smell, and stores very nicely. Good buy!

Very disappointed when we opened the package and found a small 16" cutting board instead of the advertised 20" extra large board. It's a nice board but if advertised at a certain size then it should be that.

The only slightly “stretched truth” that I can see in the description of the WLM cutting board on the Amazon site is the words “Extra-Large.” This cutting board is by no means “extra large,” as I believe most people would agree. However, the website describes the size of the board as exactly the size it is: 16”x12”x 1 1/8.” I was not disappointed by this size because it was the size I expected.I did not order this board for any actual cooking. I ordered it because I thought it would make an attractive board for charcuterie. And even for charcuterie, it’s barely large enough. Also, though I appreciate-ish the moat around one side of the cutting board, I truly don’t understand the 13” “ditch” on the other side of the board. The site describes it as: “Compartment: to store veggies, cheese, etc.” To store them for what? While you’re cutting? If you’d piled the ditch with veggies, you’d have no room at all to do any other kind of cutting.If you really cook, and you’re really looking for a cutting board, you’ll want to find something at least twice the size of this board, so that when you’re chopping, dicing and slicing, half your ingredients aren’t bouncing onto the floor.This is not a practical cutting board. It’s far too small. But it is what I consider the minimum thickness for a wood board. Any thinner and it would warp when wet. Also, though acacia is a good wood for an inexpensive cutting more, this board is made from edge-grain wood, meaning the boards are aligned lengthwise (horizontally). End-grain boards (which are far more expensive), are made by aligning the ends of the wood-boards vertically, so the cutting boards look more like a chessboard or a brick wall. It’s these end-grain boards that hold the edge of a knife longer — because when a knife blade hits the board while cutting, the blade goes between the microscopic, vertical, fibers of the wood, instead of hitting the much harder, horizontal, sides of the wood.So in this respect, the claim that your “knife will not dull easily” while cutting on this board is a bit more than a “stretched truth.”

I got this cutting board specifically to cut my steaks on and so I can catch the steak juice and it does exactly that. No complaints, good quality and affordable.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I ordered this cutting board, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. It's made from solid acacia wood, which is both beautiful and durable. The board is also reversible, so you can use one side for raw meat and the other for cooked food. This is a huge plus, as it helps to prevent cross-contamination.The board is also very large, which is perfect for big families or entertaining. It's also very easy to clean, and it looks great on the counter. I highly recommend this cutting board to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, durable, and stylish cutting board.Here are some of the things that I love about this cutting board:It's made from solid acacia wood, which is both beautiful and durable.It's reversible, so you can use one side for raw meat and the other for cooked food.It's large, so it's perfect for big families or entertaining.It's easy to clean.It looks great on the counter.If you're looking for a high-quality, durable, and stylish cutting board, then I highly recommend this one.

There are many choices to be made in cutting boards:- Wood vs. plastic. Both have their places in the kitchen. Wood is somewhat easier on your knives, but takes a little maintenance, and is heavier.- End grain wood vs edge grain. End grain is better, but usually (much) more expensive.- Species of wood. Maple is reckoned to be the best, but acacia is not a bad choice.- Size of board, and thickness. Your choice, but this one is barely large enough.This is a wood board, of edge grain acacia wood, in a “larger” (not extra-large) size.Thus a decent board for many uses. Looks very nice as well. It comes treated with some kind of “waterproofing” (hmmm, what kind?), but like all wood, will eventually require care with a treatment of food-safe mineral oil or board cream. I use Walrus Oil on my wooden boards.
