Summary: 4 Stars
The Totally Bamboo Kauai cutting board has been a staple in my home for 2 years. Yes, when you first get it, you have some "splinter" fuzz on it but with use it has completely gone away and hasn't come back. I haven't had any instances of actually giving myself a splinter because it is not sharp or rough but just a light fuzz that was easily brushed off. Also, bamboo is not going to harm you and the board was made with food-safe glue. I'd rather accidentally eat a little bamboo than plastic from a plastic cutting board. Also, by nature, the bamboo board became very smooth over time, especially when well-cared for. Wood boards need a little extra care. Occasionally I lightly wipe the board with a paper towel with mineral oil to help keep the wood from drying out. This is standard care for any wood board.
In terms of strength of the board when cutting, I have been very happy with it. The board is well-made, doesn't warp, bend, etc. You will have some slice marks as with any wood board, but some of that gets smoothed out if you take care of your board by oiling it as I mention above. If you find that you are gouging the board you should really look to your knife quality and cutting technique. If you don't have a very sharp knife and are chopping down really hard rather than slicing through the food, then you can damage the board more easily or worse yet, cut yourself! You really shouldn't require a lot of force to slice and chop things with a sharp knife. I've cut raw butternut squash on the board and while that definitely leaves a mark, it does not damage the board significantly.
The board is sturdy, beautiful, and environmentally friendly. I think it is worth the trouble of caring for it. After 2 years of heavy use, I feel the board will last another 10 years, which is a pretty good deal for under $30.
Description of Totally Bamboo Kauai Cutting Board
From the original bamboo cutting board company, Totally Bamboo, this cutting board is a beautiful, functional, ecologically sound addition to any kitchen. Bamboo is 16% harder than maple, making it an excellent cutting surface. Bamboo is actually a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in about 3 to 5 years, growing as much as 2 feet per day. It has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself. It does not require replanting, making it one of the most renewable resources known. Totally Bamboo uses 'Moso' timber bamboo which is neither a food source nor a habitat for the Giant Panda. Totally Bamboo's cutting boards are assembled with approved food-grade glue -- none of their products are made with formaldehyde-based glue. No dyes or stains are used in the manufacturing process. The pleasing designs are created by combining originally-colored bamboo with steamed bamboo, which darkens due to caramellized sugars within the wood. Totally Bamboo prides itself on using only premium hand-selected bamboo, innovative design, exemplary craftmanship, and fair labor policies.Cutting Boards
