- Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020Size: 24"L x 18"WColor: MapleVerified PurchaseListen, this is the Rolls Royce of butcher blocks. What you see with 0 or 1 star reviews for this butcher block are the same type of people who leave 0 star reviews on Le Creuset pans and Shun/ Miyabi Knives. These are high end kitchen items that you need to know how to use and take care of. This is an excellent Block that will last a lifetime and provide a nice cushion for your knives to extend their lives as well. I got a 24x18x2.5 which is literally massive and weighs approx 30lbs but provides for a ton of room for meats and veggies. It is also so large that you dont have to worry about putting towels down before using- this bad boy is not moving lol. Unless you are strong and can handle maneuvering this I recommend you get a smaller size board.
Now... if you are buying this block and worried about it coming apart or cracking like other people who have reviewed it follow the below instructions and I can all but guarantee that it will last forever.
The Boos Block comes extremely dry. I am not sure entirely why that is but it just seems to be the way that they come. For the first week you really shouldn't even use it, just condition it for future use. Also, you NEED to buy the combo bottle of Boos Mystery Oil and Board Cream, if you don't do not complain when the board cracks. Now first and foremost, wash the board off with warm soapy water and let it dry fully by wiping it down then resting it on its side with the grain vertical. Once it is dry, apply the ENTIRE, yes ENTIRE included package of Boos Mystery Oil to the whole outside of the board. The end grain sides (shortest sides of the block unless yours is square) are the most thirsty and you need to really saturate these sides with the oil, they can take a LOT- at least mine did. This is what people who have had theirs crack are missing. When I did mine, it got like 5 shades dark from absorbing all the oil. After rubbing all sides with a substantial amount of oil, stand it upright and let the oil fully soak in overnight. Next day, wipe off any excess oil that has not been absorbed. Repeat this process at least 4-5 days in a row, ideally 7 and now it is ready for the next step. After the board has fully absorbed the oil after 5-7 days, apply a layer of Board Cream and let that sit overnight to fully absorb, wipe off the excess. Now it is ready to use but you can repeat the last step again to be extra safe. Continue applying Mystery Oil at least once a week for the first month. After that every 2-4 weeks should suffice but just make sure the block is never drying out.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013Size: 24"L x 18"WColor: MapleVerified PurchaseI can't say how it will perform over the long term, but my comments on the cutting board right out of the box are:
1.Overall I'm very pleased with the RA03 Boos Board. I'm using it on a 36 inch high countertop and it's to provide a prep area which is a little higher than normal -appx 39 inches high with a 12 X 18 plastic cutting board on top, and there is ample space for the stuff being cut up as well. I'm planning to mount 4 ikea capita adjustable legs on a second 18 X 24 board which will give a second prep area 42 inches high with a 12 X 18 plastic cutting board on top. The 2 prep areas suit 2 different height cooks. Used this way the board is not put in the sink, it's only wiped down now and then.
2.It's flat and with no visible defects, it looks brand new, just as advertised. Purchased from Warehouse Deals for about sixty four with free shipping.
3.Amazon shipped it in only the Boos cardboard box which really isn't a good shipping box-if it is dropped the board could easily be dented so I suggest you inspect the board closely if yours is shipped this way, and look for potential damage on the box.
4.It looks dry, so will give it the usual generous coating of food grade mineral oil which is what I use on maple or beech butcher block surfaces, including an old edge grain maple butcher block cutting board board which is about 30 yrs old.
5.For the weight which is considerable, the "handle" grooves are OK, but not very good unless you have very strong fingers. If you are planning to wash this in a sink the version with handles might be safer. (Might also damage the sink though).
If you are planning to use this board in the conventional way, things to consider are, will it fit in the sink? can all of the cooks safely lift it and wash it?, and is there a place where it can be put to dry? Also when not being used where would it be stored?
Note: the Michigan Maple board arrived and the packaging is similar, just a cardboard box.
It's 1.75" v. 2.25", the quality appears identical, with the Boos board having a very slight edge.
If you can get the Boos board for twenty nine percent (the rough amount of additional maple used) more than the Michigan board I would say get that, even better if less. But you will be happy with the Michigan Maple board if you decide on that one. I purchased one for a gift a few years ago and it hasn't had any issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024Size: 30"L x 23.3"WColor: MapleVerified PurchaseI’d like to begin in response to complaints that I saw people regarding the corners of the board have damage. The board came with corner guards in packing comparable to the way my $5000 TV was packaged. If it came damaged you should return it there is no way it could have been damaged during transit unless someone threw it off a cliff or it got hit by a train or something like that. The outer box was pretty beat up when I got mine but the board was in PERFECT condition. Just make sure you use the oil and cream as directed before you start using it if you use it often you really should condition it every week especially if your using it for dough that would easily leach moisture out of the wood. The oil and cream not only protects the wood but it also creates a barrier between the natural oils and liquids from whatever you are cutting and the wood. This might not be much of an issue with something like lemon which has a pleasing scent but with something like onion and garlic I can assure you that if you don’t keep your board conditioned it’s a smell that you will be find impossible to get out. A well conditioned board is also super easy to keep clean. If you take care of your board it will last you the rest of your life and beyond.

SchroedingersCatReviewed in Germany on January 17, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Ordentlicher Klopper
Size: 24"L x 18"WColor: MapleVerified PurchaseEndlich mal ein schönes Schneidebrett auf dem man auch mal bequem eine komplette Gans oder z.B. auch ganze Kohlköpfe klingenfreundlich zerschneiden kann, ohne Angst haben zu müssen, dass da irgendwo was herunterfällt. Anfangs muss das Brett rundherum einige Tage lang (meiner Meinung nach am Besten mit Leinöl) eingeölt werden, bis es keinerlei trockene Stellen mehr aufweist. Zum Abschluss habe ich das Brett mit einer Mischung aus Kanaubawachs (1 Gewichtseinheit), Bienenwachs (2 Gewichtseinheiten) und Leinöl (30 Gewichtseinheiten) eingerieben und über einge Tage lang stehen lassen. Nach ca. 1 Woche habe ich das Brett zum ersten Mal benutzt.
Zu beachten ist, dass dieses Brett leider auf keiner Seite eine Saftrille hat. Dank seiner Größe ist dies aber nicht so schlimm, da sich Gemüse- oder Fleischsaft gut auf dem riesigen Brett verteilt und kaum den Weg zum Rand des Brettes findet. Weiterhin ist es wichtig, das Brett beiderseitig zu benutzten und beim Abspülen darauf zu achten, beide Seiten feucht abzuspülen, da sich das Brett sonst verziehen kann. Es sollte Klar sein, dass dieses Brett nicht in die Spülmaschine darf und gelegentlich (einmal pro Monat) geölt werden muss, damit es weiterhin seine antibakteriellen Eigenschaften halten kann und weder Gerüche noch Verfärbungen aufnimmt. Es sollte auch nicht im Wasser oder Feuchten liegen bleiben, sondern sofort abgetrocknet werden und zum Trocknen hochkant gestellt werden (damit beide Seiten gleichmäßig trocknen können). Hält man sich an diese Angaben, so kann das Brett ein leben lang halten, zumindest nach Aussagen vieler Youtuber und des Herstellers. Hier wird oft darüber geschrieben, dass die Verleimung des Brettes nicht halten soll. Nach meinen Nachforschungen ist dieses Brett das in den USA am häufigsten genutzte Schneidebrett im Gastro-Bereich. Dies kann ich mir auch ganz gut vorstellen, bei der Robustheit, die es auf mich ausstrahlt. Sollte sich bei mir igendwas lösen, werde ich dies hier vermerken. Bis jetzt ist mein Eindruck von dem Brett durchweg Positiv. Ach ja, nicht zu vergessen und zu unterschätzen: Das Ding wiegt mal locker über 10 Kilogramm und ist über 60 cm lang. Das heißt bei mir, dass ich es in der Badewanne abspülen muss, da es nicht in meine Küchenspüle passt und sich dort auch keinesfalls mehr ordentlich händeln lassen würde. Auch muss man erstmal einen dauerhaften Platz für dieses Riesenbrett in der Küche finden. Dafür liegt es auf dem Tisch einfach bombenfest, auch ohne einen Lappen darunter getan zu haben und belohnt mit einem luxuriösen Schneidgefühl (sofern man entsprechend gute und scharfe Messer benutzt). Jeder der gerne Kocht und genug Platz hat, wird dieses Schneidebrett nicht wieder hergeben wollen, wenn er es erst einmal benutzt hat.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE MY BOOS BLOCK!
Size: 24"L x 18"WColor: Dark MapleVerified PurchaseI'll make this simple. I wanted a Boos Block for years and has looked at all the different ones they sell and finally decided to get one. I chose this one because I like the handles. I could not be happier. I know it sounds crazy but chopping things on this board is a dream. Things simply chop better, no more flying into the floor. At least it seems so to me. If you are waffling, get yourself a Boos Block.

5.0 out of 5 stars Es lohnt sich wirklich
Size: 24"L x 18"WColor: Dark MapleVerified PurchaseNach etlichen Versuchen ein wirklich gutes und schönes Holzbrett zu finden, welche in Rücksendungen endeten, haben wir dieses Brett von Boos Blocks gekauft.
Wir sind dem Rat einiger Rezensenten und des Herstellers gefolgt, und haben es mit den beiden Pflegeprodukten von Boos Block behandelt. Dann haben wir angefangen es zu benutzen.
Das Brett ist von erstklassiger Qualität. Es ist perfekt gearbeitet und es ist eine Freude darauf zu schneiden. Natürlich sind die Schnittspuren zu sehen, und das Holz nimmt auch die Färbung von stark färbenden Lebensmitteln (beispielsweise Rote Beete) etwas an. Doch letztlich ist es ein Arbeitsmittel und die Spuren machen es nur noch authentischer. Ein wenig vom Mystery Oil macht auch, dass die Spuren nur bei wirklich genauem Hinsehen sichtbar sind.
Es lohnt sich also wirklich, in dieses nachhaltig produzierte erstklassige Holzbrett zu investieren.
