Review on πŸ”ͺ Shun DM0816 Hinoki Cutting Board, Medium: Enhance Precision and Style in Your Kitchen by Heidi Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superb double sided cutting board

This small, thin and light cutting board I bought primarily for camping but ended up using daily at home. The wood has a pleasant odor that will fade over time and is soft enough not to blunt a sharp knife. I like to use. Some reviewers don't seem to realize that this is a double-sided board that needs to be flipped over if it naturally warps a bit. Conversely, it re-seats, begins to straighten, and eventually begins to deform in the opposite direction. Then just turn around again. This is a normal natural thing that wood does as a result of the wood expanding due to water absorption when washing on the current cut side. If you understand the nature of natural wood material and adapt to it, it will serve you well.

Pros
  • Hinoki is a species of Japanese cypress known for its beauty as well as its delicate natural fragrance
Cons
  • Only available in black
