Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU Bamboo Cutting Board, Medium

Customer Review: Heavier than I expected for bamboo
Summary: 4 Stars

I originally bought the smaller version of this board, the MIU France Mini Butcher Board and really like it. I assumed from the lightweight quality of that board that this one would be a lightweight, albeit larger version of the mini, so somewhat heavier. To me, it feels substantially heavier. A lot of people may like this quality in the board, but I wanted something easier to move around.

Pros:

* Eco-friendly bamboo
* Has weight for those looking for a heavier board
* Inlay bamboo design is very attractive

Cons:

* Weight of board may be a factor for those looking for a lightweight board
* The larger sizes of these boards have a history of cracking
* MIU France sticker hard to remove

It is an attractive choice for an 11 1/4" square cutting board. You'll need to keep it oiled per the manufacturer's care instructions. I like Joyce Chen's Bamboo Wood Oil or you can save money and just buy a generic mineral oil (it's the same thing). This board is an eco-friendly choice as it is made from a renewable resource, bamboo.

I can attest that the MIU France sticker, used on all sizes of their boards, is hard to remove. I purchased Un-Du Adhesive Remover to remove it from my mini. It did not leave any smell. But it did cause a small part of the mini to warp. If you don't remove the sticker using an adhesive remover, I feel it would be very difficult to entirely remove the sticker and you may have to live with some glue residue on your board.

When looking for a larger cutting board to complement the mini, I originally bought the MIU France Large Bamboo Cutting Board, but it arrived broken in half. I then bought the same board in the medium size (this one). The "medium" is the same size as the "small" here on Amazon.

I returned mine, but I kept the mini, which is the one I reach for the most.

Description of MIU Bamboo Cutting Board, Medium

Our premium select grade of bamboo is 18% harder than rock maple, making it a superior material for cutting boards and home products. And, it's a totally sustainable natural resource. After harvesting bamboo it grows back quickly since the root system is so dense. Our bamboo products are handcrafted using small flattened bamboo strips glued and pressed together with approved food grade glue, no paints or stains are used. Through a heating process, the natural sugar in the Bamboo caramelizes and turns brown to create these beautiful colors. These cutting boards can simply wash off with soap and water. Oiling it with mineral oil will keep it looking new. Bamboo cutting boards make an attractive chopping surface.
Bamboo, which grows quickly and can be sustainably harvested, now replaces maple for many home applications, such as flooring and kitchen tools. This cutting board, made like a butcher block with the tough end grains forming the cutting surface, is harder than maple and stands up to heavy-duty chopping of meats and vegetables. Bamboo has its own distinctive good looks, and MIU France has designed the pieces to form a light-colored border around a darker center. Medium-sized, the bamboo cutting board measures 11-1/4 by 11-1/4 by 1-1/3 inches and can be wiped clean. --Ann Bieri
