This bamboo cutting board is appealing mainly for the very low price and the large 16 by 12 inch size, with the juice groove adding some everyday convenience. The main upside is that it is a cheap way to get a separate board for meat, fruit, or backup prep. The main concerns are that bamboo can be hard on knives, may need more frequent sharpening, and can warp, split, splinter, or absorb odors over time. A few comments also note that washing and drying care matters a lot, so it is best treated as a budget, short term board.

  • A working coupon code applied to both color options, which makes it easier to buy two boards for separate meat and fruit prep.

  • The board can be treated as a low-cost gamble when warping is a concern, especially if a sharpening stone is kept handy.

  • Some buyers expect bamboo to be better than plastic for short-term use while they decide on a longer-term cutting board.

  • Wood cutting boards can be cleaned with soap and water, which may fit users who prefer simple after-use cleaning routines.

  • Bamboo cutting boards can dull knives faster and may require more frequent sharpening due to hardness, silica, and construction materials.

  • Bamboo cutting boards can warp or split if they are submerged during washing, which can increase replacement and maintenance needs.

  • Bamboo cutting boards can shed fibers after washing, which can force early disposal.

  • Bamboo cutting boards can absorb odors over time, which can make them less pleasant for repeated food prep.

Quote from TenderCable1426 View quoted comment :
The strongest part of the claim is that bamboo can dull knives faster than many conventional wood boards.

If you value edge retention, use thin Japanese-style knives, or chop heavily, maple, walnut, beech, or a quality end-grain hardwood board is usually the better primary board.

End-grain construction presents the cut ends of the wood fibers upward—often producing the familiar checkerboard butcher-block look. On a good board, a knife edge can slip between those fibers; the fibers partly close afterward, which is why end grain tends to be both gentler on edges and more resistant to visible knife scoring.
I don't understand after reading this.

Any board has the potential to dull a knife. The steeper the angle of the blade, the more prone to rolling they are. Cheap steels will dull quicker, with the same amount of force and use as a super steel. Most of my knives are made for edge retention and corrosion resistance. Anything like M390, Magnacut, Magnamax, Vanax, LC200N, S90V, S110V or similar do great. And if you make sure to clean and dry the knife right after using it, CruWear, K390, S30V, 20CV, 154CM or CPM154, and 14C28N are good choices too.

I keep amything sharpened at less than 22 degrees per side away from bones, and rinse anything acidic or caustic right away and at least dab it dry, if I am going to use again soon, or am going to eat and whatever before doing dishes.

I collect and sharpen knives, and have been for years, and also have been cooking for over 40 years.

What's best material?
Hard maple is the best because of its durability, closed grain structure, and is gentle on knife edges. Black walnut and black cherry are also great for cutting boards.

Nobody wants to eat bits of microplastics in everything they eat. Wood is also more hygienic as natural bacteria living in wood will eat whatever seeps in so you just need soap and water to clean them effectively.
Unfortunately, microplastics are everywhere. In our food, water, and air. They are spread all over the Earth; even at the poles.
Here's an interesting stat that you can verify with a google search. Microplastics cross the blood-brain barrier and make up 0.48% (by weight) of an average adult's brain. That is 7 grams of plastic, which is about the equivalent of a plastic spoon. There are several articles about this, but here is one from the Smithsonian. the-human-brain-may-contain-as-much-as-a-spoons-worth-of-microplastics-new-research-suggests-1809859...

I know there is an argument here about knife sharpness and wood types, but for the non-knife enthusiasts, I've been using bamboo for years. It's the cheapest wood board and it will warp or split if you submerge in water when washing. Like another poster said, it's not an if but a when. You will also need to sharpen your knives more often.

It is a much lower cost initial investment but will need to be replaced often. If you can afford a nicer option, it will save money in the long-term.

And? I should be okay with adding more microplastics into my body because I'm already exposed?

Does this have any nasty chemical or coatings?
bamboo is hollow wood. To produce this chopping board, you need a way to glue those thin layers of wood together.

Does this have splinters or smooth surface? I bought a cheap one before and it almost cut my hand.

+327? For a bamboo cutting board.

SlickDeals folks have lost their effing minds. It's one thing to artificially inflate the popularity of deals you stand to profit from, but this is egregious.

I wonder if this rises to the level of something the FTC would consider looking into. Every time I visit this site, I feel like I have to double check to make sure one of the employed dirt bags hasn't stolen my wallet.

ETA: 4 people have clicked the 'I bought this' button, which gives the thread a thumbs-up and reps the OP. That means that AT LEAST 323 other users have stopped by (assuming each vote only counts as 1, I suspect Staffer votes count more) to give this a TU because they think it's a great deal. Shenanigans. Open the kimono, SlickDeals - show us the voting on this thread to prove you're not behind the wheel of this insane rating.
