Hi all,
I’m looking to buy an end grain board.
My main concern, especially after viewing Amazon reviews for Jon Boos boards, is the number of reports of warping, cracking of individual blocks and cracks in glue lines.
It will be a significant upgrade from my ikea poly cutting boards. I’m trying to avoid the frustration of forking out for something that is supposedly “better” only to have the thing break down in a short amount of time.
I understand they require a relatively high level of maintenance, but trust in my ability to meet those needs.
I plan to use it for the majority of my meal prep (except raw proteins).
Pretty keen on walnut and hoping to buy domestically (Aus) to save on the shipping costs associated with such heavy items.
I am seeking some general guidance about purchasing such a board, to hopefully avoid some of the above pitfalls.
Ie is the longevity of the board mainly a matter of maintenance, manufacture, or are results that individual that no real generalisations can be made?
Thanks,
Vaughan
