Proteak 313 Review
Proteak 313 Review by YL
My husband is a big guy who does a lot of cooking, so the type of cutting board that matches him needs to be more like a chopping block. He really liked receiving this board as a gift. It is quite heavy but not so much that I cannot lift (I'm 5'4"), but I don't use it.
Pros:
-enough surface area to cut for a big person
-heavy enough that it won't move while cutting
-has a juice canal on one side so you can make that side for "meats" and flip it to the other side for "veggies".
-after adding mineral oil, the color stands out and is not as dull as it was when it first arrived.
-seems pretty durable and seems as though it will last a generation if take care of well. I saw a John Boos butcher block at a grocery store used for display purposes, and you could tell that it had never been oiled as there were many numerous cracks on the sides. Poor thing.
Cons (that I noticed):
-the pattern of the board we received is not like what was in the photo. It is not quite as artsy as shown. I went to go check out a proteak at williams-sonoma. The one we received is more like a pattern you would see on a regular cutting board, similar to what williams-sonoma carried. They carry only the circular ones, but the thickness was the same.
-it may be heavy for smaller/petite people.
-the board was shipped in a box with no stuffing whatsoever. Looking at the box, I can tell that it had been thrown around prior to it's arrival. I'm glad that it was not cracked.
All in all--my husband enjoys using it so it's all good, which says a lot because he is very picky about items he owns. I know that all of the patterns are different for each board...but if I were to purchase another proteak in the future, I'd probably want to choose the one I want instead of having a random one shipped to me. Regarding mineral oils--the board soaks it in very nicely, but when you "dry" it after having soaked it in the mineral oil, wiping it down after 30 minutes soak on each side, I suggest you put some newspaper under it, with the board on it's side. Some of the excess oil will run down a bit.

I got this board as a present for Christmas and I am fascinated by it. I used it during our New Year's dinner and everyone made great comments about the looks and sturdiness of the board. This board makes you want to cook more!!!

After upgrading my knives, I knew the next thing I needed was a good, end grain cutting board. I wanted end grain so that when I chop, the knife edge doesn't get as dull as fast. Additionally I wanted at least 2 inches of width since this is also critical to keeping your knives in tip top shape. Plus a flow channel to keep the juices from running out and all over was also desired. The flow channel also gives me a very clear marker for the meat side and the veggie side of the cutting board. This is a good thing when I need to cook for vegetarians.
Not only is the Proteak cutting board all that, its also drop dead gorgeous! The photos here simply do not do it justice. The grain flows together so well, at times it almost looks like hearts at times. I love having this in my kitchen, for the looks and for the function.
Beyond the beauty, this board makes my knives bounce! I find that I have less pain in my hand if I'm chopping a lot - which is a very good thing. My knives are singing a happy song now.
It is important to keep up with oiling the wood so that it dry out - a little TLC goes a long way.
Finally the company is very good for the environment - all their wood is sustainably harvested and they've replanted huge swaths of land, helping reforest parts of Mexico. This is a cutting board you can feel good about.
