Anyone have opinions on expensive butcher block cutting boards, specifically Boardsmith? It's very pricey ($340 for the 16 x 22 x 2) but it made Serious Eats' top pick and seems to have impeccable reviews around the internet as far as I can tell. I've read some complaints about Boos blocks splitting but nothing like that about Boardsmith. I'm looking for something large, sturdy, and that will last a long long time. Worth the money or will something cheaper serve just as well?

Definitely buy separate sealing rings for different applications, though. Those things really absorb aromas and you don't want your yogurt tasting like carnitas.

Yeah I’m on my third Thermapen One because they keep dying due to hand washing, which you’re supposed to be able to do. To their credit they have replaced them for free twice, so the company still gets my seal of approval. Just don’t let the body of the Thermapen get wet. Wash it with a barely damp sponge or washcloth and limit the battery compartment’s contact with moisture. Otherwise it’s an incredible kitchen tool.

Not likely, but you could always try! The ones I’ve had replaced were still within warranty.
