I purchased this cutting board and it appears to be curved. It rocks a bit when I cut. I have to steady it while cutting. Is this a defect?

Try putting a wet towel under it and it won't move........wash in machine and set under something heavy to make it flat again

Well, mine doesn't rock, so it likely is a defect. Maybe you should rinse it and then put something heavy on top for a day or two!

Honestly I do not know if it's a defect. I liked the board so much form the beginning that I decided to keep it, curved or not, and with time it i has actually become steadier. It's really a great board and if you treat it right, using some special oil once in a while it will keep looking as beautiful as when you unwrapped it!I hope this is helpful to you. Aloha from Britt

Mine is curved as well, but I didn't start to notice it until a few weeks after purchase. I will flip it over for a day or two, and the curve becomes less pronounced. I do this once every few weeks.I should note that I have never soaked it, and I have followed all manufacturer's instructions to the letter.

I would say that it must be, I got mine some time ago and even after constant usage and washing it is still perfectly flat.

It should lie flat, if you allow any wooden cutting board to sit in water it will warp. If you received it warped and it's new, you should definitely return it as it is defective. Wooden cutting boards should be washed and dried on edge and stored in a cool, completely dry environment.

Mine does not do that. We have used it for several dinner parties. Perhaps it is a defect

I have had no such issue with this cutting board. I would say it's defective and dangerous to cut with a board in those conditions.

Could be damaged. The scale should be perfectly straight with any curvature. I bought a pair of these about a month ago and they are in great shape. So my suggestion would to return them for an exchange or refund.

This happened to me also. I believe that the metal piece that supports the stem is not quite straight but I'm not sure about that. I did notice, before that happened, that I had difficulty getting the pieces to separate...could be the reason. I have not had any more trouble with breakage but the tightness is still there. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. I have ordered a new processor, same model, but wanted the same size so that I could still use all my various blades & bowls. Time will tell if that fixes the problem.

It is not completely smooth, but it's not "pebbly" either. I have several glass cutting boards to use next to my stove and sink, and this is the smoothest one I have. I just went to look at it again, and it's quite a bit smoother than my other ones.

I have had a bamboo cutting board that looks like the one shown. (I don't remember the name of it, when I purchased it) I have had it several years and have no problem with it.It is heavy, and I use it often.

That happened to me as well. You have to keep these boards oiled really well. Get some cutting board oil (I use Boos Block oil) and rub it on the top and bottom a few times a day for two days. Place it on a flat surface then put a flat piece of wood (or something else that is fat) on top with a cast iron skillet on top of that. Check on it after a couple of days. Good luck!

It's pretty flexible...my fridge is also curved and my board does stay put!

Watch the video on instant granite on YouTube, it shows corners well. I had round corners and was a little harder, I just cut and pulled down where ever it looked like it needed to fold over it's self. It is not as hard as it sounds, once you get started it will kind of sort it's self out.

My knife has a curved blade....I liked it so well I bought another for our second home.model seems to read 5.6603.15..don't know if the curve is a big deal or not.

It does that when I put downward pressure on the knife. Just use the weight of the knife only. You'll get a good edge and the motor won't grind down. If it does, I'd return it

Are you serious Merry? Turn knife over and look at the finger groove on the bottom; it has a serrated look and feel (it is curved inward towards the knife handle. If your knife is open then this serrated bar will look crooked at an angle. Push it back towards the side of the knife handle until it is straight. This will free the blade which you close with the other hand. Don't cut yourself please!

First, I do not have a really smooth counter surface like the latest in countertop surfaces. The cutting board is really heavy and I've never had a problem with movement of the board while in use.

Mine has warped at the ends. Not safe without adding material at the ends so it doesn't trap a foot and chop it off. I have five of them and they all have done the same with warping. My bottom tray is not staying in place either. the track at the bottom doesn't hold it in place. Will be looking at a different brand.

Not normal, I never had a problem with mine. First thing I would do is check the blade to make sure it is the right size and check for warps

I'm seeing the same thing so it appears to be normal behavior. Here's that area from my knife, 2 months after moderate use: http://i.imgur.com/6YeplWF.jpg It looks worse than it is; if you run a point across the "gouge" it really isn't that deep.

There is a definite curve in the pan side as shown in the middle. It is not a true retangle shape if that's what you are needing. The sides are straight up and down but the pan itself is curved.

Stop, Do Not Cut. Are you 100% absolutely sure it is bent? The sections are pretty difficult to insert. If it is indeed damaged return to Amazon. They will take care of you.
