Man, Finally got the oil to fully soak in! I tried it last night, it is wonderful. Very different feel than a $5 hardwood wal-mart board! I didnt even see knife marks after I was done. Thanx for everones help!

I've used bar keepers friend and it works great, so I strongly recommend it. Really cheap too!

Quick question, after fully oiled for a few days, and used, it is regularly washed with soap and water right? Sounds dumb, but I just wanna double check before I ruin anything. Thanx!:chef:

I just oiled it! Can't wait so everything can be absored and I can start chopping away!

I know now exactly what you mean! Great anaolgy! Unfortunately, I got the last one. Im anxious to try it out. All my experiences have been with "wal-mart" laminated wood boards. I notice that these give off powdered wood when you are chopping/slicing/dicing with a really sharp knife! I'm...

GB, I got it for $6!!!! at Ross. I could swear that the price was changed, or there was a mistake, because a small plastic board was more expensive! I'll take a pic with the price tag in a bit so I can post it. What is the difference between the grains, and why if I may ask? I would like to be...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to thank everyone for all their input on the difference of cutting boards on another thread I had posted. Well, I was at Ross today, and I stumbled on a nice butcher block! I thought it was going to be pricey, but I got it for $5.99!!! It is this one...

Thanx GB, I think I will definitely give that one a shot, especially because I am new to this! Thanx again

What would you all recommend for a sharpening stone?

Thanx Michael. Yeah, I'll will be keeping up the blade with a sharpening steel. My parents had some really old sharpening steels there that were given to them by my cousing that used to work at a butcher shop. Luckily they are some F. Dick steel sharpeners. I did some research on them, and they...

Well, after doing some research, and going into my local restaurant supply store, I decided to go for a Dexter Russell 8in Chef knife. I tried it out, and I love it. I just have to be careful because it is pretty sharp! Like I had mentioned before, I'm a dietetics student, so I could not afford...

I'm really tempted on buying a 7'' Sontaku by kitchen aid from target. I'm a starter, and I will be taking some food handling courses for my dietetics program. Since I am a full time student I cannot afford a really good blade. I like the feel on my hand, not extremely light, but not heavy as...

DailyRecipes, did you mean Rio Grande as in Rio Grande Valley? Just wondering, cuz I'm from there, and Cat fish is also the choice of fish.

Hope you all like my recipe, thought I'd share. It's simple and healthy! 4 large tomatoes, cut in half 2 TB olive oil 4 6 oz. Salmon fillets ½ lb. Sliced mushrooms 1 lb green beans trimmed ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese 1 lemon sliced In large roasting pan drizzle tomatoes with olive...

Thank you so much. I will have to explain that to my finacee, cuz she bought me this really nice tempered glass one. It has a chef w/wine bottles! HA! Thanx again!
