This is a great buy! I've bought several of these over the past 4 years and have never had any issues with them cracking. They are well made and and I use them almost daily. Before initial use, I condition them with cutting board oil, and let it soak in for several days. I then smooth any roughness with a fine gain sander.Then they get a coat of cutting board conditioner. I only use cutting board cleaner on them, keep them dry, and condition weekly with a cutting board conditioner. These are a softer wood than Teak boards and don't feel that these have dulled my knives.

No way these are sanitary after pork or chicken juice etc.

We have one but never use it for meats, more like a display for cheese etc.

Studies have shown that wood naturally fights the bacteria where plastic cutting boards encourage its growth. Especially once you start to have cut marks making cleaning difficult.

There's a reason ever chef in the world uses wood cutting board, even with meat. Why do you think you're smarter than all of them?

I did a lot of reading on cutting boards before I started making end grain cutting boards, and the scientific research on Google scholar supported end grain over plastic for most purposes, including raw meat. That said, don't take my word for it; I merely suggest a little reading before making such pronouncements.

The abstract of this article speaks to it a little: https://www.sciencedirect.com/sci...8X22020920

Have you ever worked in a professional kitchen? I've worked in several and have never seen a wooden cutting board in use. I use them at home, but never in a working kitchen.

Quote from nopes :
Isn't acacia a hardwood and bad for very hard blades?
1. Hardwoods aren't necessarily harder than softwoods, despite the terms. "Softwood" generally refers to coniferous trees like pine and spruce. I think the only cutting boards I've ever seen made of softwoods have been old-growth heart pine, which incidentally is usually more than four times as hard as balsa, which is technically a hardwood.

2. Cutting on end grain largely mitigates the issue of Janka hardness. That's not to say that you wouldn't notice a difference between cutting on end-grain ipe vs. end-grain black walnut, but most end-grain cutting boards are made out of woods well within the ideal janka range.

3. There are over a thousand known species of acacia, and AFAIK all of them are softer than the industry standard American timber for cutting boards, which is sugar (hard) maple, so I wouldn't worry about its being overly hard on cutting edges.

4. Acacia isn't a bad timber in its own right, but since it's grown as a cheap timber in indo-pacific areas, it's often a go-to timber for cheaply made products. Cheap may sound appealing on SD, but I'd want to know whether food-safe materials (glue etc.) were used before letting it contact my food. Lots of cheap imported cutting boards, whether wood, plastic, or bamboo, are made with cost, not food safety, in mind.

Cutting boards in a restaurant were always plastic but I alway assumed that was a cost cutting measure and dishwashable.
