Review on 🔪 John Boos MPL1812125G: Premium 18x12x1.25 Inches Maple Edge Grain Cutting Board - Top Choice for Chop-N-Slice Tasks by Justin Smith

When you buy this board, you'll make it Do better your homework and understand how to take care of your cutting board. Do not buy this as a gift for someone who doesn't know how to handle a bare cutting board and has never heard of oiling a cutting board. If you want to learn how to maintain this board with minimal care, read Kitchen Care Basics with Babish. All the negative reviews and photos I see are grey, damn dry boards that haven't had the slightest bit of maintenance. This board comes dry out of the box. You MUST coat it with food-grade minerals before using it, and you MUST buy Blockboard Cream The Boo (because that stuff rocks). You SHOULD buy a cheap random orbital sander to polish knife cuts from time to time. No, you cannot wash a board in the dishwasher, soak it in water and expect it not to crack. If your board is cracked because you don't understand how/or don't want to take care of it, save yourself the hassle and buy a cheap OXO plastic cutting board. However, this review loses an asterisk if the board forms or splits within the next 3 years. If the stars haven't fallen, the board is still in good condition.
