Kitchen Aid Cookware: Totally Bamboo Zambia Parquet End Grain Cutting Board Review

I bought this cutting board because Cook's Illustrated recommended the equivalent larger board (Totally Bamboo Congo) but I needed a replacement for my smaller board.The end-grain bamboo is great for the knives, the board looks great, and the size is perfect for smaller jobs:chopping a few veggies or slicing some cheese for example.I'm now going to buy the Congo to replace my larger end-grain maple board, which is too heavy for everyday use.These boards are thick enough to feel sturdy, but not so heavy as a 2 inch thick maple board.

Product Description:
Totally Bamboo's Zambia cutting board is designed with the epicurean kitchen in mind.16% harder than maple, Bamboo makes a superior material for cutting boards. The Zambia cutting board is handcrafted using flattened strips of cured Bamboo bonded together with the highest rated, US laboratory tested and certified, formaldehyde-free adhesive specifically developed for food contact surfaces. Zambia's size, 13.5 x 7.25, makes it perfect for slicing and serving crusty french bread with fresh mozzarella. Zambia's unique look is created using the end grain or cross-section of the bamboo pole.Small sections of the end grain are set in opposing directions creating the parquet design.No stains or paint are used to create the two-tones of Zambia. The light tone is the Natural color of the Moso Bamboo and the scrumptious Honey shade is created in a very specialized heating process which caramelizes the natural sugar in the wood.These colors are permanent and will not fade or wash out. Care: wash with warm water and mild detergent and occasionally wipe with mineral oil (Do not clean in the dishwasher). An Ecological wonder, Bamboo is a grass that grows to a harvestable height of 60 feet in 3 to 5 years.It has an extensive root system that continually develops new shoots thus not requiring replanting making it an incredible self-renewing resource and a brilliant alternative to the wide spread clear cutting of our world's hard wood forests.Do the world a favor- Do Bamboo
