This cutting board isn't a traditional bamboo cutting board, and by traditional I mean it being used for traditional cutting and chopping. This cutting board is used to sit on top of the BOV800XL Smart Oven. I guess you can use it to cut if you want as a last resort (if you broke your board before a party and you need to cut stuff up, for example), but from my experience it is definitely not used for that sort of thing.
Instead, you use it to put stuff on top of the oven! Normally this is a complete no-no in the kitchen - putting anything top of an oven is a surefire way of destroying whatever that item is, especially salts and spices inside plastic containers. But with this oven, you'll be able to reclaim that lost counter space from having the Smart Oven in there in the first place! Now you can put a lot of "stuff" on top of it without a fear of it getting destroyed by the oven heat.

In the above picture, you can see that there's some pizza ready to be served. Instead of taking out the foil and lacing it on top of your table top so it doesn't burn the wood, you can use the bamboo cutting board as a serving pad! I think this is my favorite feature of the Breville board, so long as you don't have a lot of stuff on top of it prior to taking your food out. It also makes the table look wonderful and fancy, and you can use it even though you're not using the oven! On special family occasions, I like to use the bamboo cutting board to serve some sizzling Asian plates.
It also has some anti-bacterial properties, and the bamboo wood absorbs very little moisture. You don't have to worry about moss this way :)

Overall I think this is a great product. Like I said before, it's meant for the BOV800XL Smart Oven, so if you don't have that this product may be a bit weird.
But if you're interested in buying this Breville bamboo cutting board, you can always check it out at Amazon.
