Product Information
Full details
The 5five Bamboo Chopping Board is an ideal kitchen essential for home cooks and chefs who prioritize sustainability and functionality in their food preparation space. Its primary benefit is the durable yet knife-friendly bamboo construction that provides a spacious area for dicing, slicing, and serving charcuterie. While its generous dimensions offer excellent utility, users should note that its larger size requires significant counter or storage space compared to smaller, portable cutting boards.

FAQs
Can I put this board in the dishwasher?
No, you should never put bamboo boards in the dishwasher because the extreme heat and water cycle will cause the wood to crack and warp.
How often should I oil the bamboo board?
It is recommended to oil your board once a month using food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood hydrated and protected.
Is bamboo better than plastic for cutting?
Bamboo is generally preferred for its sustainability and natural resistance to bacteria, while being softer on knife edges than hard plastic or glass.
What is the thickness of the board?
The board has a thickness of 5 cm, providing excellent stability for heavy-duty chopping.
Can I use both sides of the board?
Yes, while the side with the juice groove is designed for prep, the underside is perfectly flat and can be used for cutting or serving.
Troubleshooting
Board surface feels dry or rough
Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil.
Stubborn odors or food stains
Rub the surface with coarse salt and half a lemon, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your bamboo chopping board, avoid placing it in a dishwasher, as high heat and excess water can cause the wood to warp or crack. Hand wash the board with warm, soapy water after every use and dry it immediately with a towel. To prevent the bamboo from drying out or absorbing food odors, apply a food-grade mineral oil once a month. Store the board in a cool, dry place when not in use, keeping it away from direct heat sources like stovetops.
