Boos Block Cutting Boards

May 7

When shopping for the right kitchen equipment, prioritizing the perfect cutting board is essential. The decision between plastic and wood involves several factors to consider. As a premier chopping block manufacturer, John Boos provides solutions to all your inquiries. Whether you're plating hors d'oeuvres, chopping vegetables, or revamping your kitchen, John Boos has you covered.

Natural, solid hardwood stands out as the ideal material for cutting boards due to its resilience, knife-friendly surface, easy cleaning, and inherent antibacterial properties. Its tight grain and exceptional shock absorption ensure knives glide effortlessly, resulting in precise cuts. Additionally, wood is renowned for its strength and reliability, making it a worthwhile investment for enduring daily chopping and slicing tasks. Beyond its practicality, wood's beauty shines through its radiance, natural grain, and array of colors. Boos Blocks offers cutting boards crafted from various hardwood species, including hard rock maple, American cherry, and American walnut, each boasting a timeless aesthetic and organic appeal that invites nature into your home.

Consideration of size and weight is crucial when selecting a cutting board. Taller individuals may find comfort in an elevated cutting surface, while shorter users should opt for a thinner board to avoid stretching. John Boos offers large end grain constructed boards in various thicknesses (ranging from 2-1/4″ to 6″) and thinner edge grain boards (ranging from 1″ to 1-3/4″). Boards with feet provide an elevated work surface option.

Choose a cutting board size based on available kitchen counter space and your typical food preparation needs. Larger boards, suitable for countertop display, offer ample working space and can be positioned over a dry sink area for additional prep space. For smaller kitchens, consider a board that can be conveniently stored in a drawer or hung on the wall. Keep in mind that Boos Block cutting boards may vary in weight, with larger and thicker boards weighing up to 200 pounds, while a medium-sized 20x15x1-1/2″ edge grain cutting board typically weighs around twelve pounds.
