Bamboo Wood Cutting Board 16x11, 1" Thick 🍽️
Description:
This bamboo butcher block brings sturdy, everyday utility to the kitchen with a natural look that works for prepping meals and presenting cheese or charcuterie. At 1 inch thick, this Allsum board gives a solid cutting surface that resists deep knife marks while the built-in juice grooves help keep countertops clean during carving or slicing.
Key Points
The board is made from organic bamboo, noted for its density and relative resistance to knife scoring compared to softer woods. It includes recessed side handles that make carrying and serving easier when you move it from counter to table. Deep juice grooves around the edge collect liquids while you carve roasts or slice fruit, helping to reduce mess on the work surface. According to the manufacturer, hand washing with warm water is recommended and the board should not be placed in the dishwasher. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve the wood.
Technical Specifications

Benefits
Bamboo is naturally renewable and tends to show less warping than some hardwoods when properly cared for. The board’s 1 inch thickness gives it weight and stability so it stays put while chopping. Recessed handles make it practical for serving directly to guests without needing an extra platter. The juice groove is useful when working with meats and juicy produce, because it captures runoff and minimizes cleanup.
Usage Recommendations
For everyday cutting and serving, wash the board by hand with mild soap and warm water and then dry it upright to allow air circulation. Avoid prolonged soaking and never use the dishwasher, according to care guidance from the manufacturer. Periodically rub in a food-safe cutting board oil to maintain the surface and reduce the chance of cracking over time. Consider designating this board for slicing and serving to preserve its appearance, or alternate with a softer, dedicated prep board if you do a lot of heavy chopping.
Note that bamboo is harder than many hardwoods and may dull very soft or thin knives faster than a softer surface. Also keep in mind that because this is a natural product, grain and color can vary from one board to another.
