It has been sometime since we had a good chat! I was just looking over some of our older posts and went back to check out some previously suggested items. One site in particular that has really come a long way since my first visit is Woodcraft By G. Besides the new items available, they have some interesting blog articles. One in particular is about wood versus bamboo. Live and learn!
I found this really great item that is a cutting board with a juice well on one side and a mincing bowl on the other. What a great find! I haven't seen anything like this in the market. So, I purchased one and gave it a try.
This unique board has become my "go to" favorite! It's the perfect size when I'm chopping veggies for our dinner salad, and if I flip it over, the mincing bowl is perfect for chopping the fresh herbs I like to add. With the Rocker Knife which was included with the board (also called an Ula or Mezzaluna knife), I can mince the herbs without causing any of the leaves (like basil) to turn brown. Because of the curved blade, the Rocker Knife works perfectly with the wooden bowl. Love that!
This board isn't finished with the salad bowl finish, but has been left more natural and comes oiled with mineral oil which is very easy to maintain. I simply chop away and afterwards wipe it down with a little soapy water, dry and put away. The instructions mention that an occasional oiling with mineral will keep the wood in top shape.
I give this cutting board 5 Stars!
The other good news about this site is that they offer free shipping. I always like that!
Till next time,
