The John Boos Chop-N-Slice 211 is a solid maple cutting board sized at 10 inches deep by 5 inches wide by 1 inch thick, built for everyday prep tasks where counter space is limited and durability still matters.
Not every prep task needs a full-size board taking up half the counter. This board is sized for the jobs that happen constantly: slicing a few vegetables, breaking down herbs, trimming proteins for a single portion, or staging ingredients before they go into the pan. Its compact footprint means it sits comfortably on a narrow section of counter, slides into a drawer or cabinet when the meal is done, and does not compete with other tools for workspace. The reversible faces let you flip the board and keep cutting rather than stopping to rinse mid-task.
John Boos has been milling hard maple boards for over a century, and the Chop-N-Slice line carries that same material discipline into a smaller format. Hard maple is a tight-grained hardwood that resists deep scoring from knife edges, holds up to repeated washing, and stays flat under normal use conditions. The NSF certification confirms the board meets the hygiene and sanitation requirements used in commercial food-service environments, which makes it a straightforward choice for a professional kitchen or a home cook who holds their equipment to a higher standard. To maintain the surface and prevent drying, treat the board periodically with a food-safe board oil or cream.
This size is a practical match for a bar prep area, a coffee station, a small apartment kitchen, or a secondary prep zone alongside a larger board. Cabinet shops and designers specifying kitchen accessories will find it fits cleanly into a pull-out cutting board slot or a drawer insert application where a larger board would not. It also works as a utility board in a professional kitchen where NSF compliance is a requirement rather than a nice-to-have. If the work regularly involves large cuts or full-meal prep, a longer board from the same Chop-N-Slice family will serve better.
Yes. Apply a food-safe board oil or board cream before the first use and re-apply periodically to keep the maple from drying out and to maintain the surface.
Solid wood cutting boards are not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand with warm soapy water and dry promptly to keep the board flat and prevent moisture damage.
NSF certification means the board has been evaluated against food-safety and sanitation standards used in commercial food-service environments. It confirms the material and construction do not introduce contamination risks during food contact.
Yes. The reversible design gives you two cutting faces so you can flip the board rather than stopping mid-prep to clean.
When the job calls for a compact, NSF-certified maple board that fits a tight prep space and handles daily cutting without complaint, this is the one to reach for.
