- It smells like formaldehyde
- It works well as a cutting board but I am concerned about its smell?

- My favorite cutting board to use at home.
- This is a great cutting board. It's durable and can go in the dishwasher. I wish I had purchased the larger one but this one is great for cutting veggies and fruit. Would definately recommend.

- So Far, So Good
- I purchased this a month or so ago after researching for quite some time. I was originally considering a John Boos, but for the sake of size and storage, I choose this. I've been very happy so far, light weight, easy to clean, and has held up very well for using every day. I highly recommend.

- Nice size and weight; but very hard feel...
- The board is very light for its size and appears to be quite durable. And it's easy to clean.
But it has a very hard feel--more like cutting on glass or granite than on a traditional wood or plastic board. If you do any chopping, it sounds like machine gun fire. And if you do slicing/rocking with a curved chef's knife, it's still has a pretty harsh feel. I still haven't used it long enough to judge whether it really doesn't dull knives any faster than wood--but I have doubts, given how it feels.
Also, out of the box it had a horrible smell--like a wet dog wearing a wet wool sweater. But after a run through the dishwasher, it went away. Not sure if it will ever reappear (tho I note that Cook's Illustrated described the device as having a bad, lasting odor). - 2007-11-26, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Nearly Flawless
- This is an excellent cutting board. It's nice to have a large board with a juice groove that is dishwasher safe. I prefer wood for cutting non-bacterial stuff like produce, but this is perfect for things like poultry. I also used it to carve a rotisserre chicken, and was quite pleased. The one minor flaw is that I have a granite countertop, and unless I place a towel underneath it slides a little if I'm doing some serious chopping. But as it's meant to be usable on two sides, I don't mind very much.
