Awesome!!

Awesome cutting board. Perfect shape with the engraved outside edges for keeping liquid in. Perfect size and colour. Fits perfect on my counter top. Use everyday!!

Cut away

Doesn't stain....
Very steady.......
Left some marks from sharp knives, but overall great cutting board............. I used it for meat and vegetables

Good everyday chopping board

All in all I like the board but not my favourite though.

Pros:
Good size
Grooves all around catch juices
Cons:
Very dry and porous wood - got stained after first use
Rough feel to the wood - get the sense that it could splinter. This may be a function of the wood being very new - hopefully with use this will improve with time and use.
I got the cutting board for free from Butterly in exchange for my honest review.

Beautiful and sturdy

I was so excited to receive the Paderno Maple Hardwood Roast Cutting Board 12-in x 18-in. It is such a beautiful and sturdy cutting board. I have never had a wood cutting board before so be forewarned you need to treat them with mineral oil BEFORE using. So I quickly purchased the Paderno Mineral Oil to seal my board before use. I loved the look of the maple wood and how you can use both sides. The grooved side it great for cutting juicer items like melons as the liquid collects in the grooves instead of dripping onto the counter. Makes for much easier cleanup. The flat side is wonderful for larger items like chopping nuts or chocolate for cookies. There are some tips for keeping the board lasting a long time, like not soaking the board in water and drying it vertically not horizontally. Also you have to keep treating it with Paderno mineral old, to keep it looking beautiful. I will keep this board for produce and basic chopping of cooked products but I wouldn’t recommend using it for raw meats.

Large meat cutting board

Very large meat cutting board made of maple great for carrying food to the bbq and for cutting and catching all the liquids keeping your counter clean!

Real Maple Board with Luxurious Feel

My husband who is a woodworker and also very into barbecuing had a great time using this board! It is both functional and beautiful on the counter when not in use!

It washed very easily after use and with some very minimal upkeep with mineral oil, I imagine it will last a very long time!

Great cutting board!

Amazing size shape and weight! It has been our new go to cutting board. Our only complaint is we have had to wax it 2 times for it to feel how we like our boards. Super easy to wax and wash tho! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a large light weight board!

Decent cutting board

First of all our household love supporting Canadian businesses. So it was very good that this cutting board was already made in Canada. We appreciate it that it was made out of maple hardwood and it was quite sturdy. It will be heavier for its density as expected. So if you are transitioning from a bamboo or other lightweight cutting boards, the heft is surprising and could catch you off guard. I did enjoy the quick note about mineral oil/ conditioning the board as this will help it stay good for long. We got this at a time when our other cutting board had split apart due to improper care and this was a really good replacement. We use it for cutting our vegetables, using it as a surface for hot items from the stove, and cutting up juicy items. We definitely use a lot of our cutting boards as we bring them camping and expect them to be heavy duty. We hope this will last long, but for the meantime that we have it, it is doing quite well.

Amazing cutting board,love it

Beautifully crafted, super hard cutting board,works amazing,great for veggies and meats,we even use it as serving board too as it looks great.def recommend to anyone who does a lot of cutting and prepping

Quality cutting board with extra feature

This Paderno maple wood cutting board impresses with its overly generous surface area, attractive wood grain for all your chopping/cutting needs. Attractive design and added grooves on one side running all around the cutting board. Those grooves collect any juices, crumbs, etc., saving extra clean up of your counter.
While there is recommended maintenance as per the simple instructions, once a month doesn’t seem too taxing,
I recommend the Paderno cutting board for its durability, size and clever groove design.
