Lisa is so good at summarizing the reviews & testing. I like these videos way better than the weird conversational 'review' videos that look like old fashioned TV audience shows and not filmed for an online audience :/
Thats because they are not filmed for an internet audience. They are filmed for a television audience. The same people produce all the "reviews" even the ones you like. Their show is called America's Test Kitchen, just like the channel. You should check it out some time. It's a great show with more than just equipment reviews.
Lisa makes the best review videos man. love her
Check these wood cutting boards
10kitchen.com/best-wood-cutting-boards-butcher-blocks/
Yes but would be good to know relationships of products that they review. They should mention if they're sponsored.
Who or what is the "review videos man"?
As a woodworker, I'm definitely going to take these findings in mind when I make more cutting boards. Excellent review!
I am preparing to make my first cutting board. Until watching this, it was going to be end-grain maple. Going to my wood supplier for 8/4 teak. All the videos (by woodworkers) contradict this video. But, I will trust their Test Kitchen people because they’re the ones that USE the end product. Sure glad I saw this before cutting up a beautiful and thick slab of maple.
@@feversol I know this is a year old, but I would like to mention, Hard Rock Maple (or Sugar Maple) is the only wood that I know of that can be NSF certified, whatever they do absorb, they suffocate in their tight pores. Maple and teak are the only choices imo. I prefer maple for the hardness and weight. my main board I made ended up as 9/4 maple, at least 2 years aged and 20x36, weighs north of 25 lbs.
press X for doubt
Lisa, you’re the best reviewer. Thanks for clarifying the affects of edge vs end grain wood on knife sharpness through actual testing.
She is back! I'm so happy. Best reviewer in the Test Kitchen!
Lisa is back! This format is so much better. I love that she gives me just the facts! Great testing too! Curious what the runner up was and Boos ended up.
boos is trash... unfortunately. my work bought about 2 dozen of them and 6 months later, most of them are splitting apart or broken. they do not like being washed.
Boos are not great. I have one and it was not flat, poor detail on the finished edges. Really amateur hour woodwork. It's only worth is using it as a prop for pictures because those that do not know any better are trained to go "Ooooo Boos Block!" I still can't figure how they became so popular. I guess charging a mint for crap makes it seem better than it is...."it cost so much...it must be good"...it's not.
The quality of these testing videos is so good. Amazing how much work they put into it. This is some real quality content. Thanks a lot for making these video. :) much love from sweden
I have never been so glad to see someone back. Absolutely hated the recent reviews without you.
Love these reviews. Thank you for bringing Lisa back. Great review
Lisa is the heart and brain of this show. Her voice is so smoothing and so believable
One of the most effective, concise and insightful reviewers in her field. Definitely enjoy her videos.
...and this why I watch ATK, every video presentation has value that far outweighs the time to view it.
Well done.
I bought the large maple Boardsmith after your full review and researching various knife forums. The investment was so worth it, as it does not warp or stain. The Boardsmith is large and tall, so easy for us to use. It is absolutely gorgeous, super high quality, looks brand new almost a year out with heavy daily use, and probably ~every six weeks conditioning (mineral oil & bees wax, 5:1). Love the non-skid feet as it is very stable, and the table clearance makes clean up easier; the sides and underside never get wet or slimy. It is heavy so we don’t regularly lift if to wash it in the sink. We find it easy to maintain, and easy on our knives. Highly recommend! Thank you for your great in depth product reviews!
The detail of the test, videos of the testers, the robot! Much superior review
I just love all the detail and deep diving Lisa and her team do on products. So satisfying.
I wish I can like this video more than once. I love the attention and detail you put into your tests. Please keep them coming!
These are the best reviews bar none. Incredibly thorough. They took their pans to have them tested at MIT in one of their videos and had AutoDesk use their equipment to test the cutting boards in this test. They spare no expense and that's what I love about them. Great videos
Awesome video! It was great to have our boards be a part of this and be tested so in depth and professionally.
Yea! Lisa is here again, and just in the nick of time! I literally am looking at web pages today, to find a "real cutting board", as I mentioned to my spouse. These Equipment Reviews are a life saver for any cook that does not or cannot waste their dollars. Best to spend it upfront and keep it to pass along, then to buy it again and again. Love ATK, tfs.
Wow, you guys really went all-out on the testing, approaching this from every angle I can think of. Very impressive.
I love seeing how scientific these tests are! My favorite series.
I find these reviews invaluable. Especially recently as I'm trying to 'update' many tired things in my kitchen. Thank you
Great review! Answered all those wood board questions I've had for decades
This style review is the best, keep them coming
I agree
Lisa’s review is so thorough. Have to give credit to the testers as well. They come up with things I am not aware of. So glad to see her back.
This was Boss! What a great analysis... simple and to the point.
Amazing analysis! You are a forensic expert. I don’t want to miss your any videos. I watched many of them always you amaze me with your details. Very big hugs and bigger Thanks !
This is thesis/ scientific level like review/ analysis of a common cutting board. So good.
You do such a wonderful service to cooks of all stripes, thank you so much!
Wow, amazing test series! You gave great explanations with just the right amount of science. Thats exactly what I was looking for. A huge Thank You!
Love your videos. Informative, honest, reliable. Thank you!
I am quite frankly amazed at how much time and research went into this review. FANTASTIC all around review of those boards and presenting not only opinions but also evidence such as talking to the USDA about wood types or getting a FREAKING robot to "cut" stuff on it to test how gentle it is on a blade. Review channels should look at this as a shining beacon of what reviews actually are.
As a professional Woodworker for over 30 years and an amateur cook for 15, that was a good review. She was spot on regarding the pros and cons of end grain v side grain. Well done.
Love these reviews of Equipment.
Love the reviews, simple and loads of great information. 👍
ATK, You are the best. Especially your equipment reviews.
This was one of if not the best review and comparison. Gotta love the thoroughness and attention to detail.
Most reviews are boring and filled with fluff but this was straight to the point but with just enough narrative.
Great job
Amazingly educational video. The really surprising conclusion is that harder woods can keep knives sharper longer than softer ones like Hinoki. But I still love the practicality of hinoki as it hardly needs any oiling (they don’t Oil it in Japan at all) and it’s so so light that makes cleaning super easy and it has natural nice scent and antimicrobial substances.
Gosh, I love you guys test kitchen! You're the best, keep up the good work
Wow this was a thorough investigation, thanks for all the information!
That was an elaborate set of tests. Thank you for your service. You have my thumbs uo and my subscription from this video.
Your reviews are so very helpful. Thank you so much.
Wow what a great, well put together, and highly informative video.
I have a large black walnut board cut out of 1 solid piece of tree. I lightly oil it once every few months. I also had a liquid catch routered into it all the way along the edge. Perfect for containing alot of blood or dripping when carving the thanksgiving bird.
BOUGHT A NEW 18X24 MAPLE BOOS BOARD LOVE IT!
I bought my Proteak board four years ago based on your previous recommendation. It’s easily the best board I’ve ever owned.
Wow, this was incredibly well presented with clear and concise data. Thanks
Thank you for the thorough review!
Very informative as always, thank you.
Excellent review! I like reviews that are more objective and comprehensive.
Sounds about right. We got an end grain board about 3 years ago, (actually, the same as featured here- Catskill) and about a year in we unfortunately dropped it and it developed a really long crack. Obviously, don't drop your boards.
Manufacturerers were willing to send us a new one regardless, which was nice. That one ended up cracking unprompted within a few months, despite our taking care of it and oiling etc.
They had never asked us for the old board back, so instead of pestering the company for yet another board, we got advice from woodworking friend on what type of food safe glue to use, and invested in some solid and large clamps. So far so good since then, but they did sit abandoned for almost a year uncared for, so hopefully their record improves.
Personally I also find them too heavy (~15lbs) to pull out too often, though that could probably be fixed with better storage placement.
I love ALL of the reviews by ALL of the ATK folks. The variety is great.
Best review of anything that I have ever seen!
I'm not particularly a stickler for details, but it's really nice to know how things were tested, but all the thinking behind it. I just bought an end-grain cutting board and I'm still enjoying it, but I put the Teakhouse one on my wish list. You just never know . . . Thanks so much for the great information.
I’m actually making new chopping boards today DIY, this is a great vid for my research before making.
Well presented, side grain construction for me, never been a fan of the end grain for the exact reasons given.
Excellent no-nonsense, factual and informative review. 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Definitely just answered all of my questions... thank you 🙌💯🙌💯
Thank you. Good, no nonsense video as usual!
This was very informative, thank you!
Thank you for your video Lisa. I just bought the Teakhaus 20x15 board at Costco Canada for $30. Love it!
the best review for a cutting board the can ever exist!
Lisa, you’re the best!
Simply, thank you.
Impressive analysis and summation!
I just like Lisa.
Lisa is the best. Keep it simple and to the point. Thats what we like
Awesome review !!! Thank you!
This is an awesome review from the standpoint of a hobbyist that is currently considering making cutting boards to offset lost coronavirus income. I've tested face grain, edge grain, and the popular end grain boards (popular with both the UA-cam creator and buyer) and I am not a fan of end grain boards based on production, labor expenses, and personal use. This review really helped narrow my focus. Thank you!
I love my boos block edge grain board! I've had it forever and it's made in America.
Been wanting to finally jump the fence and invest in one. I've heard many good reviews about it.
Thx for the knowledge!
Great review, convinced me.
Thanks for the review. I have read that hard maple is best in terms of sanitizing
I want that behemoth the seven being tested were sitting on!
I’m glad I saw this video, almost every other review of cutting boards said end grain was a must have since its gentler on knives!
I wish I had seen this video before buying a Bamboo cutting board. Every time I go and wash it, I get these splinters coming up. I was wondering about end vs edge and if America's Test Kitchen ran a test.
Nice to see Lisa back for equipment reviews! I echo others that the 2 person conversational format videos come off like bad infomercials--it makes it hard to trust the results.
Lisa - you are the sweetest. Great to watch.
I just love everything America’s Test Kitchen ❤️
Back in the day (70's) we used mechanical drawing boards. (Pre computer graphics programs) they are only 3/4" thick but tough as nails. Made of solid maple, large, light and easy to handle. Inexpensive.
I use a drafting board as a pastry board for rolling out dough. The large size is perfect, and it takes a dusting of flour better than any other surface in my kitchen.
Built my own with acacia wood remnant, 20x24...best cutting board I've ever used, and basically, free! :-]
Great review!
Great review, thanks!
Excellent video, very well done - thank you
I like your reviews. Thanks
God I love this channel and what you guys do, you make our lives so much easier, THANK YOU!
Teak cutting boards are also sold at a good discount at stores like Marshall's and HomeGoods and they have a quite nice color.
I dont know how i get here but i found it interesting, you have my like
I love these videos! Could you make one for oil free , non-stick cooking pans?
Wow i thought end grain was always better! Thanks for the great review!
Liiiiiiiisa!!! 🙌🏼
wish there was a total ranking so we'd know more of the pros/cons from the other boards as well. Nice video though!
Well done, thanks!
Great informative video!
I bought a 15" x 12" x 1-1/2" thick end grain Teak board made by Lipper, oiled it up good until it wouldnt take anymore and been using it quite awhile now. The board has been perfect, I clean it dry it and keep it oiled and it doesnt warp or crack - im very pleased with it. I did have to add specific grippy cutting board feet and it made the board even better and it stayed put. These wood boards should come with feet but they dont. I also lightly sanded the finger grip openings as they were very sharp at the cut edge, a worthwhile improvement - oiled it again after this. I also beleive Teak is the best wood for a cutting board because of its natural oils as explained here.
Great presentation 🙂
I have the Proteak and love it.. as long as someone will maintain it for me. I bought it several years ago and adore it. I can't say anything bad about this board other than to be sure you have a sink large enough to clean this monster. That said, the massive size and cleaning became tiresome. Oxo makes a good sized plastic board with rubberized ends that has become my 'go to'. It fits beautifully in my single basin sink where it can be disinfected as it soaks very easily. Again, love the Proteak, but do better than I and recognize a potential bunt disguised as a homerun. Love the channel.
Thanks, now I have a reason to update my old small double sink. Just got a new Proteak cutting board.
Love reviews hosted by Lisa
Well done team that found mr teak to be da best... I fully agree
Great review, as always. In the future, I’d love to see a comparison of cutting board conditioning methods, such as various oil types, beeswax, etc. Thanks.
all you need is mineral oil. stop chasing unicorns. unless you drink the boos block coolaid then you should probably buy extra virgin cold pressed dragon oil from narnia.
@@surfeymcsurfer - If you oiled your board as well as your greasy blowhole, you’d actually have something worthwhile to say.
These people are a national treasure.
She's my favorite reviewer.
Brilliant video
