From our favorite wooden cutting board maker, J.K. Adams, comes this simple, easy-to-store kitchen workhorse crafted from sugar maple. The board has separate sides for meat and veggies (each marked with their own icon: a small chicken or a bundle of carrots) to help mitigate cross-contamination and streamline prep work. Plus, wood is naturally antibacterial and easier on your knife blades than plastic. The board is spacious enough to accommodate knife maneuvering and proper cutting techniques without creeping into your pile of already cut food. And its 1-inch thickness is hefty enough to stay put on the counter, yet light enough for strain-free transport.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Care for this board as you would any other wooden tool: Hand-wash with warm soapy water. Towel dry. Do not let it soak— wood is porous and can absorb water, causing it to swell and warp or crack. Occasionally (if the wood is feeling dry or rough) treat it with a wood oil or wax to keep the wood in good condition for many years.
With more than 70 years of experience, Vermont’s J.K. Adams is one of the top names in wood cutting boards. They mill high-quality boards from a variety of woods in countless shapes and sizes to suit any need.
