Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Farberware 3-Piece Wood Cutting Board Set
Customer Review: []Sometimes Means Low Quality
Summary: 3 Stars
I also own the Farberware 3-piece poly set. The poly set is as good or better than poly sets I've owned for 4x the price. The poly set they sell is an awesome value.
I was using a larger poly board from another manufacturer for meats. Wood is easier to sterilize IMHO so, I decided to buy a[n inexpensive] wood board set that I could easily microwave. I have top of the line wood boards by John Boos. I use my Boos boards to roll dough and cut bread, so I did not want to use them with meats or expose them to the microwave.
I had hoped the Farberware wood set would match their poly set in quality. It does not even come close. People who claim these boards are "average" quality have a low definition of average. These boards are very thin and seem to be coated like a [inexpensive] cheese board you get with a holiday cheese log.
I tried to apply mineral oil but the boards are loath to absorb it. Fortunately, the board is somewhat pourous and I'm hoping over time to improve the boards via mineral oil applications.
The boards are actually very attractive at first. I gave this set three stars because I can still use the large board for meats. It will fall apart eventually with this type of usage but, for the cost of this set, I can accept a short lifespan. The other two boards I'll use to ferry veggies around when I make stir fry and for tiny cutting jobs by my range. Also, by not cutting with them they'll keep their appearance for some time.
I have lots of boards and I basically bought this just to try knowing I could write off the boards if none worked for me. I already have almost a dozen poly and wood boards in various sizes. If you are a serious cook, you probably have your reasons for checking out [inexpensive] boards and don't need my advice on how to use bottom of the line wood boards.
Bon Appetit
Update: Years later these boards have somehow managed to survive in my kitchen. I've found it handy to stash the smaller boards near knife blocks so they are handy for unexpected prep tasks. I still use the large bird for roast chickens, etc. Since the boards are thin, they are easily "stashed" around the kitchen. I even sterilize the boards in the microwave when meats are involved (don't start a fire...), but I never place the boards in the dishwasher. I can't believe none of the boards have split. I still treat them with wood oil and still find the remnants of the "holiday cheese log board" coating annoying. These are good boards for reserve duty but I would not want to rely on them daily or if I relied on a dishwasher for cleaning and sterlization. If you let them soak, I bet they'd split. I tried raising the rating to four stars but I can't seem to edit the rating.
