The Cuisinart 17-Inch Reversible End Grain Bamboo Cutting Board brings warmth and practicality to your counter. End-grain bamboo is naturally hard yet gentle on knife edges, and the reversible design gives you two distinct surfaces: a flat, smooth side for fruits and vegetables, and a deep juice-groove side that catches meat juices while carving. Embedded handles make lifting, moving, and serving effortless.
Cuisinart Reversible End Grain Bamboo Cutting Board: Two Surfaces, One Workhorse
Flat Side for Everyday Prep
Use the smooth side for slicing produce, bread, cheese, and cooked foods. The spacious 17.13 x 12.13-inch surface gives you plenty of room to work without crowding the board.
Juice-Groove Side for Carving
Flip the board over when you're carving roasted chicken, turkey, beef, or pork. The deep well catches juices before they pool on the counter, keeping your workspace cleaner and saving the flavorful drippings for a sauce if you like.
Embedded Handles
Handles are recessed into the sides, so you can lift the board with two hands or carry it like a tray. The board also stores easily on a shelf or hung by the handles.
How to Oil Your Cuisinart End Grain Bamboo Cutting Board
To keep bamboo from drying out and cracking, season it with food-grade mineral oil—never cooking oil. Here’s a simple routine:
- Wash the board with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry it thoroughly.
- Pour a small amount of food-grade mineral oil on a soft cloth and rub it over the entire surface, including the edges and handles.
- Let the oil soak in for 15–20 minutes, or overnight if the board feels very dry.
- Wipe away any remaining oil with a clean cloth.
- Repeat every 3–4 weeks, or whenever water stops beading on the surface.
Never soak the board, run it through the dishwasher, or leave it near direct heat. With regular oiling, this board will look beautiful and cut cleanly for years.
