FOUR YEARS OF USE! and Still a Nice Little Set as well as being Lightweight!
I have had cutting boards before, some great, some not-so-great, and currently have two very large ones hand-crafted out of maple which I have had for years and which are wonderful for big jobs. They have held up well over the years with the proper care. I had been considering purchasing more for sometime, particularly in smaller sizes as use one of the large ones for such tasks as slicing a single tomato or onion is a bit of over-kill.I found these in Amazon Warehouse Deals for $7.99 (and eligible for Free SuperSaver Shipping). I placed them on my wish list and ordered them the other day to round-out an order to over $25 to qualify for Free SuperSaver Shipping. I have never had bamboo cutting boards before, but decided to take a chance on them. I must say the grain in them is gorgeous, and I was surprised by the light weight, having used the much heavier maple cutting boards for so long. As I have only had these for a little while I cannot yet comment on their longevity, but will say they seem to be constructed as well as any of the other cutting boards I have seen out there.These are perfect for smaller jobs, and now I don't know why I waited so long to try them. The smallest one is perfect for slicing a single tomato or onion. The larger one is perfect for a loaf of home-made bread. While I will still use my larger cutting boards for the bigger jobs, these are a nice addition to our kitchen ~ and Amazon Warehouse Deals had them here on the date they estimated they would ship them. I am very pleased.UPDATE: April 2014:Four years in and I still have these babies and they are nearly just as nice as they ever were. I have NEVER OILED mine. I wash them with a hot soapy dish rag, rinse and put them in a dish drainer to dry completely before putting away. This past week alone, I have used them to slice/dice/chop tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, onions, celery and carrots -- so yes, I use them more than once every week and have done so since purchasing them.UPDATE: December 6th, 2023It has been over 10 tears since I purchased these and have had absolutely no problem with them. We still had-wash them with dish detergent and water, place in a dish strainer to dry, never leave them laying in the sink, have never "treated" them with oil or anything else and they still look almost like new, aren't splintering, have never discolored, etc. Take proper care of these and they will take care of you.
