Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Totally Bamboo Congo Parquet End Grain Cutting Board
Customer Review: Got a warped one!
Summary: 2 Stars
I read good things about this board in Cook's Illustrated, so I picked one up to use as a second board. I do most of my cooking on a huge Boos Rock Maple board and wanted to replace my smaller board with something nice.
Unfortunately, my board came in warped, as other people warned about. The warp is quite bad - in two directions so it wasn't stable on either side.
Real shame - the board is very attractive and it feels and smells nice.
Any, I just returned it. Maybe I'll try the Totally Bamboo Flat Grain - from what I have read it it thicker, but more solid than this one.
Description of Totally Bamboo Congo Parquet End Grain Cutting Board
Totally Bamboo's Congo cutting board is designed with the epicurean kitchen in mind. 16% harder than maple, Bamboo makes a superior material for cutting boards. The Congo 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. Congo's size, 17.25 x 13.75, makes it perfect for all your larger cutting and serving needs. Congo'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 Congo. 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 BambooFast-growing in nature, bamboo is also fast-growing in popularity as one of the most environmentally friendly, renewable resources available. Totally Bamboo prides itself on using only hand-selected, China-grown "moso" bamboo, which is not a food source or habitat for the giant panda, and which grows to harvestable size in just 3 to 5 years. Totally Bamboo follows strict environmental guidelines for processing and fair labor policies for its workers. And, the toxin-free products contain no dyes, stains, or glues containing formaldehyde.
The large Congo Parquet 17-1/4-by-13-3/4-by-1-inch cutting board from Totally Bamboo's African collection makes a superb gift for the home chef. Like rock-solid butcher blocks made of wood, the board is composed of strips of bamboo laid in end-grain fashion. By alternating direction of the strips, an attractive parquet pattern is achieved, dark-colored in the center of the board with two lighter curved sides. Harder than maple, bamboo won't absorb water, crack, or peel, yet won't dull your good knives. The warm honey color, which comes from an oven-heating process that caramelizes the bamboo's natural sugars, goes all the way through, won't fade, and can even be sanded. After use, simply wash the board lightly with warm, soapy water, and wipe now and then with mineral oil. --Ann Bieri
