Grab a Prime Day Deal on These Chef-Loved Cutting Boards

Rare Amazon Prime Day deals just dropped on John Boos cutting boards — the beloved wooden cutting board brand loved by Ina Garten, Bobby Flay, Giada de Laurentiis, Rachael Ray, and myself, a former chef of 10 years.

A few months ago, I wrote about the dangers of black plastic utensils due to their potentially harmful chemical composition. Since then, I've started phasing out plastic in my kitchen that might leach chemicals or shed microplastics during everyday cooking. I'm not completely plastic-free, but I’ve replaced anything that comes into direct contact with heat or food, including my plastic cutting boards.

One of my favorite non-toxic swaps has been switching to a John Boos wooden cutting board. I've been waiting for a chance to recommend it, and that time has finally come. The brand doesn’t go on sale often, but right now, you can grab special Prime Day deals on these durable, beautifully made boards.

18-Inch Maple Chinese Chopping Block

I use this 18- x 18-inch cutting board every day, and I love it. Bobby Flay uses the same board but in walnut. I enjoy that this chopping block doesn’t move while in use (read: I don’t have to put a wet towel under it), it’s reversible, and because it’s an end-grain cut, my knives cut through food without sinking into the board. With end-grain cuts, the wood fibers are arranged vertically and resemble a checkerboard. They self-heal and won’t dull your knives, making them last longer. Plus, you won’t see any knife marks on it. It’s heavy, durable, and 3 inches thick, and it can even be used as a charcuterie board or butter board.

Maple Reversible Cutting Board

Ina Garten uses this edge-grain cutting board and even believes that a butcher block like this is one of the top kitchen tools you need. She owns a lot of John Boos boards and says, “If you take care of them, they last forever.” In the video, you can see she has two of them butt against each other, making her countertop even more knife-friendly. Available in three sizes and different woods, this board is 18 x 12 inches and 1.5 inches thick — that’s plenty of room for prepping those summer vegetables. I’m not entirely sure, but it appears Gordon Ramsay uses the smaller version of this board.

Walnut Reversible Cutting Board

Another perk of the John Boos cutting board is that many of them are reversible — it’s like getting two for one! This edge-grain walnut board measures 24 x 18 inches and features finger grips, allowing you to move the board with confidence. Edge-grain boards are made when planks line up, creating a thin, slat-like look. Use it to cut various proteins and vegetables or as a beautiful serving tray.

Maple Chop-N-Slice Cutting Board

Continuing with the edge-grain cut, this maple board is both practical and beautiful. It features smooth, rounded corners and recessed finger grips, making it easy to take from counter to table. At just over an inch thick, it’s sturdy without being bulky, and the maple construction means it’ll withstand daily use.

Maple Chop-N-Slice Cutting Board

Michael Symon is a fan of this square cutting board, but uses a much larger model. This version is a 10- x 10-inch edge-grain cutting board that is perfectly squared. It’s 1 inch thick, lightweight (compared to other boards), and ready to take on all the slicing, dicing, and chopping you can muster. 

Maple Reversible Cutting Board with Handles

By now, you should be seeing a theme. Reversibility. This end-grain maple board is the one I initially intended to test, but it’s so popular that it sells out quite often. The fact that it’s in stock means I may be adding this to my cart. It features metal handles, juice grooves, and measures 24 x 18 inches with a thickness of 2.25 inches. Imagine carrying this out to the crowd, loaded with your favorite summertime snacks in your backyard oasis.

Cherry Reversible Cutting Board

This round cherry wood board is thinner than some of the brand’s thicker butcher blocks, but still incredibly sturdy thanks to its edge-grain construction. At 18 inches across, it offers a generous size without taking over your counter. It's also available in other sizes and wood types if you're looking for a different fit or finish.

Maple Cutting Board with Juice Groove

I can’t help but think how great this board would be during the holidays when I’m carving a turkey or slicing prime rib. The juice grooves ensure that nothing overflows onto the table or counter, and the finger grips let you carry your sliced meat to the table. The larger 24- x 24-inch edge-grain surface means it can handle a lot of food and still have room for more. 

Prestige Maple Reversible Cutting Board

Sometimes, you just don’t need a large cutting board. That’s where this edge-grain board comes in. It weighs 6 pounds, measures 16 x 10 inches, and has both juice grooves and a finger hole for convenient carrying or mounting. Perfect for those smaller jobs, yet just as durable.

There’s no denying that these boards are spendy, but consider them an investment that will last a lifetime, especially now, during Amazon’s Prime Day event. I’ll leave you with this: Always hand-wash your boards, never place them in the dishwasher, and always care for them using oil and wax. Your boards and knives will thank you.
