John Boos CB1053-1M2418225 Cutting Board

End-grain construction is highly prized because the wood fibers are oriented vertically. This allows your knife edge to slide between the fibers rather than cutting across them, which helps keep your blades sharper for longer and hides knife marks better than edge-grain boards.

To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, you should hand wash the board and never soak it or put it in the dishwasher. Apply a food-grade butcher block oil or board cream monthly to nourish the wood and maintain its protective finish.

Yes, the board is fully reversible. One side features the integrated pyramid center and stainless steel drip pan for carving meats, while the reverse side is flat, providing a smooth, traditional surface for chopping vegetables and other prep work.

This board weighs approximately 31 pounds, making it a substantial, stable piece for your countertop. While it is heavy, it includes integrated recessed hand grips on the sides to make lifting and repositioning more manageable.

The pyramid center is designed to stabilize meat while you carve. By providing a textured, raised surface, it prevents roasts or poultry from sliding around, allowing for safer and more precise knife work.

Yes, the stainless steel drip pan is designed to be easily removed. This allows you to quickly empty juices and scraps collected during carving and wash the pan separately from the wooden board.
