For all of you who have spent good $$$ on knife deals recently, having a good cutting board can help to maintain your knife edge sharpness and reduce the amount of sharpening you have to do.
While rubber cutting boards and japanese softwood cutting boards are ideal, they usually cost a lot (over 100). The next best thing are end-grain cutting boards.
I have had my eye on this one recently as they has EOFY sales, but I think this code brings it down at the lowest. I think its made of a mix of acacia and something else (someone more expert in wood who can identify it can verify)
FEATURES
Crafted from sustainably source, rich endgrain timber
Features a natural checkerboard pattern that adds a unique and appealing touch to any table setting
Naturally oil rich and water resistant, making it the perfect choice for food preparation
Designed to brilliantly withstand heavy household use
Also suitable for presenting appetisers and snacks
They also have other Baccarat knives that would be eligible for the code, but they arent something I would purchase.
RRP is around $90 which is about right for endgrain cutting boards this size.
Same as your good quality knives; never put them in the dishwasher.
Cool now I can play chess in the kitchen!
