Teakhaus Cutting Board, Brown, 51 x 35.5 x 6.4 cm

Beautiful, huge board. When oiled and waxed it is a stunning addition to any kitchen.

Beautifully made and big

This cutting board will help both of us prep in the kitchen. It is heavy duty and such a beautiful wood.

bought this a few weeks back, its fabulous and as the advice said, use oil and conditioner when first received, and it helped strengthen the surface. Love this cutting board

The handle could be smaller.

I’m an intermediate/advanced amateur cook and have been cooking since a small boy—I’m 62. I am well versed and experienced at all types of cooking, curing meats, pickling, baking artisanal breads, sous vide, pressure cooking and canning, butchering, smoking, grilling, dry aging, etc. I have $thousands in kitchen equipment and an investor in 3 local pub/restaurants. I’m a retired aerospace engineer/rocket scientist an Air Force Space Operations Officer. I’m also an amateur woodworker and can make boards, though it is some work to do it correctly. I’ve said all that to say I’m very familiar with quality equipment including kitchen equipment e.g. even cutting boards of which I have several in wood and plastic. I recently bought a house w/ a much larger kitchen and lots of counter space. The tops are granite tile so flour, etc. gets in the grout making it harder to clean. I plan to replace the large island top with a smooth solid surface but I decided to purchase a large cutting board for now (which I’ll use later as well). This will allow me to cut veggies, cooked meat, etc. but also to work dough. I’m well aware of John Boos boards and their quality…and price! I was ready to purchase a Boos board until I saw this board review on ATK as their winner. I have a great respect for their opinions and testings. I purchased the 18” x 24” x 1.5” board flat on one side and with a juice channel on the other. It arrived today. What a beautiful board. I showed my wife who does not share my appreciation for quality kitchen equipment and her response was “ That’s pretty!” More importantly, the board is very well constructed. It is perfectly flat and fairly well oiled. I did oil it as recommended, though it only took 3 coats and not very heavy—less that the 4-5 in the instructions say it might take. Mine has no cracks whatsoever. I do have two very small dents on the smooth face but it was very well packaged. I can only assume it was accidentally damaged before packaging. I could have returned it but decided not to do so as I’m sure there will be many other battle scars before I’m done with it—when I die! This is the best board I own. It is large, which is just what I wanted—a board with real estate so I have room to work. It is heavy and stays in place. I can see why ATK gave this their top rating. I am VERY pleased!

I just received this cutting board yesterday and have oiled it and used it once. It is everything I wanted and more. It's pretty great that ProTeak has discovered a great use for teak scraps so that their reduced cost is passed on to the consumer. I calculated how much it would cost me to build one out of new teak and found that this board, at only $114 was much less than I could build it for. There was one flaw that was patched but otherwise it is pretty much perfect for cutting up vegetables or cooked meats. Anyone with expensive cutlery probably already knows that a good wooden cutting board is necessary to get the most out of those knives and to protect them so that they last a long time. If you are one of those who know just how helpful a fine cutting board is for your cooking process, I highly recommend getting this board. End grain is the one professionals prefer due to the speed and control it affords. This one is heavy and stable due to it's full 2.5 inch thickness, but it has handles cut into the ends to make moving easier. There are no feet on the board so both sides are fully useable, but as most people know, wood cutting boards should not be soaked in water or set on a wet counter for any length of time or they will warp and/or split. Obviously, never let it near a dishwasher. Drying your counter and using a dry mat to keep the board from sliding around will not only make cutting, slicing, chopping, etc, more safe and stable, it will prevent water damage. If you want a cutting board you can put in the dishwasher, and is lightweight and convenient to use, I recommend avoiding wood and sticking with nylon/plastic cutting boards. Plastic boards have their place in the kitchen; I have a large plastic one to cut raw meat and smaller ones that can go in the dishwasher for quick-prep items. But if cutting and chopping vegetables is something you dread with your plastic cutting board, and you don't mind the hassles associated with caring for a wooden board, then get this beauty. I think you'll be impressed. Caveat: if you think the cutting board will look like just the picture, then think again. As with any real wood product, the grain varies between pieces so each product is unique. In addition, there is no effort made by the manufacturer to mirror the grains as they did with the one they show in the picture. To do that requires new pieces cut and matched and the board would cost twice as much. Even so, my board is still a work of art, even with totally random placement of the pieces.
