Cut, Chop & Slice Like A Pro On The John Boos & Co. Maple 1-1/2″ Round Cutting Board!
If you visit Deliciously Savvy often then you know that I am a huge foodie at heart and that I love cooking delicious meals for my family. Seriously there is nothing that I love more than creating new-to-me recipes on the regular and being able to enjoy the smell of those delicious meals wafting throughout my home. My love of food, cooking, and baking is where my love of finding the best in culinary tools comes in as it’s so important to have the right tools to prepare yummy meals for my family. This is where my love of John Boos & Co. comes in as I am a huge fan of their gorgeous selection of cutting boards and butcher blocks that are made right here in the USA. They are hands-down the most beautifully crafted cutting boards that every kitchen needs and it’s the reason I always jump at the chance to work with them! I received the John Boos & Co Maple 1- 1/2 inch Round Cutting Board to review and I am in love. Not only is this bad boy perfect for my chopping, cutting, and slicing needs but it’s also perfect for my homemade pizza prep and more. Let’s take a look at the reasons I love this board and why it’s a must-have for any foodie, cook, chef and home.
As I mentioned above, I am a huge fan of John Boos, and for good reason. The freason is quite simple… they’re cutting boards are made right here in the good old USA in Effingham, IL since 1887! In fact….John Boos & Co., based in Effingham, IL is one of the oldest manufacturers of premium quality food service equipment and butcher blocks in the U.S.A! Boos has been in business continuously since 1887 and it all started with Conrad Boos. It was in his Effingham, IL blacksmith shop that founder, Conrad Boos first invented what would become the original Boos Block®. Having harvested sycamore from local wooded areas, and processed it in his sawmill, Conrad brought it to his blacksmith shop for finishing. That first block of sycamore slab placed on three legs evolved with the sheer purpose of a block to absorb the shock of this smith’s hammer against the anvil. It was the local butcher, who having seen and admired Conrad’s block, became impassioned about owning a block for his meat market. Unknowingly, Conrad’s son, John, who having made and sold that first block to the local butcher, took John Boos & Co. into the infancy of the 130-year reign of serving customers in the commercial market sector.
Check out this video about the craftsmanship and integrity that goes into every single John Boos & Co Product & the reason I’m obsessed with them:
John Boos & Co. is pretty awesome right!? I find their craftsmanship spectacular and stand behind this brand with every fiber of my being. Yes….I’m a bit obsessed with them and their beautifully crafted products and that is why I jumped at the chance to review their John Boos & Co Maple 1-1/2″ Round Cutting Board! It is the perfect size too with an 18″ diameter and with it being 1 and a half inches thick. It’s ideal for prepping and chopping veggies and more when whipping together dinner on a weeknight and it’s also perfect for prepping my pizzas for family pizza night.
The John Boos & Co R-Board Series Maple Cutting Board is made of solid North American Hardwoods.
This gorgeous cutting board is NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) Certified and is a generous 1 and 1/2 inches thick for added durability. It can withstand anything you throw its way….think cutting, chopping, slicing and it even makes a beautiful serving board or charcuterie board!
I also love the versatility of this board due to its reversible design. This 18″ Maple Round Cutting Board is reversible to allow its use of two different cutting surfaces for your food-specific needs.
This gorgeous John Boos & Co Round Cutting Board will help you to elevate your food prep and you can slice or chop pretty much anything on this gorgeously crafted piece. It is perfect for cured meats, fruit, bread, vegetables, and even for prepping and slicing pizzas.
This gorgeous board is crafted for the home kitchen and not only is it perfect for prepping your meals but it’s so gorgeous that it also makes the perfect thick wooden charcuterie board for your serving needs. It boasts reversible sides, recessed finger grips, an oil finish, and a perfectly level cutting surface that is suitable for the finest of knives.
What I love most about this gorgeous cutting board is that it is crafted for life. I chose the Maple R-Board Series Cutting Board but it is also available in Cherry and Walnut.
Now let’s discuss how to care for your John Boos & Co. Boos Block so that it will last for years and years to come……
John Boos & Co. Board Maintenance
Caring for your John Boos & Co. Cutting Board is super easy to do. Simply hand wash and dry the board as needed. You will also want to apply Boos Block Mystery Oil regularly, more often in dry climates and especially when the board is new. I can say that I probably use the Boos Block Mystery Oil once a month or whenever the wood is looking a bit dry and that I also highly recommend using the Boos Block Board Cream to seal the wood surface after applying the oil. The blend of mineral oil and beeswax will keep the moisture in the wood and bacteria out. The oil penetrates deep in the wood and the beeswax leaves a silky, protective barrier. You can find everything that you will need to properly care for your John Boos & Co. cutting board or butcher block in the John Boos Block Cutting Board Care & Maintenance Set. This set is worth the investment as it will ensure that your boards are cared for and with proper care, they will last a lifetime.
