I grew up using a John Boos cutting board. At the time, it didn’t occur to me that not all cutting boards in life would be as satisfyingly thick and unwarpable, and the parade of dinky plastic boards that have followed in its wake have left me yearning to finally invest in a beefy Boos of my own. The maple, cherry, and walnut boards have been made by the (still Midwestern-based) John Boos & Co. company since 1887, and can easily cost a couple hundred dollars given the sustainably sourced wood and craftsmanship it takes to make them. (This 3-inch thick round walnut slab? A cute $632 for that end grain design). So when I discovered deals of up to 22% off the cult-fave boards on Amazon for Prime Day, I bolted to the brand’s page on the site to find the best savings.
Prime Day lasts from July 8–11 this year, and your faithful Eater shopping team has been hand-picking only the ripest deals on Ninja Creami ice cream machines, luxury wine fridges, and the kinds of deals on GOATed brands that create cookware and kitchen essentials your descendants will fight over in the will. The Boos cutting board easily falls into that category, because when it is properly maintained and oiled, a Boos board should last you a lifetime. When I interviewed chefs about their most essential cooking tools, these beauties came up more than once, and were praised for their thick (minimum 1-inch) design, and pleasurable cutting experience. The use of maple, for example, is preferred due to its naturally antibacterial properties, moisture-resistant nature, and tight grain (you don’t want any splitting or splintering). Plus, they look great. You can also use them as a serving board for your charcuterie and movie night spreads — the versatility is endless.
