Heimzauber 3-piece bamboo set with handles review

Three bamboo boards in graduated sizes, each 2 cm (0.8 in) thick with a handle and a juice groove — a set rather than a single board, which suits separating raw and cooked.

What we would actually buy Three sizes with handles is the practical shape of this purchase. The material caveat applies to all three.

What you are getting

Three bamboo boards — 40 × 30 cm (15.7 × 11.8 in), 33 × 23 cm (13 × 9.1 in) and a smaller one — each 2 cm (0.8 in) thick, with a handle and a juice groove.

Why three sizes work

Separating raw meat from everything else is a habit, and a habit needs the tools to hand. Three boards makes it effortless; one board makes it a chore involving a lot of washing.

The handles

More useful than they look. A wet 40 × 30 cm (15.7 × 11.8 in) board is awkward to carry to a sink, and a handle turns that into one hand.

The material

Bamboo, with the same caveat as elsewhere in this hub: harder than hardwood, kinder than glass. Our answers pages set it between the two.

Availability

Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.

What we rate, and what we do not

  • 2 cm (0.8 in) thick throughout, published
  • Handles, which make a wet board far easier to carry

Compromises

  • Bamboo, with the same hardness caveat as the board above
  • Three boards is three things to oil and dry
  • The largest is too big for most sinks

The questions that come in

Do I need three boards?

Two is the useful minimum — one for raw meat, one for everything else. A third small board for garlic and onion keeps their smell off the others.

Do bamboo boards need oiling?

Yes, like any wooden board: when water stops beading and starts soaking in. Food-grade mineral oil, generously, wiped off after a few hours.

Our score

8.1/ 10

Three sizes with handles is the practical shape of this purchase. The material caveat applies to all three.
