Product Quality- Our foldable Bamboo cutting board is, smooth, long lasting. easy to store away, easy to use, can be placed in a dishwasher, but we don't recommend it! How it helps me- When I prep my ingredients, i find it so much easier to pick up the chopping board and add everything to the pan/pot, but most of the time I miss the pan, so why not have a chopping board that aims everything into the pan without a mess! also amazing to serve food into! Please do not use steel wire balls to wash when cleaning, the product is a natural product, the steel wire balls will damage the cutting board!
