John Boos & Co.’s R03 Boos Block Named Best Wooden Cutting Board by Forbes Vetted for Second Consecutive Year

July 9, 2025

Effingham, IL – John Boos & Co., a trusted name in premium butcher blocks and cutting boards since 1887, is proud to announce that its iconic R03 Boos Block has once again been named the Best Wooden Cutting Board by Forbes Vetted in the 2025 Best Product Awards for the Kitchen. This marks the second consecutive year the R03 has earned this prestigious honor.

The mid-size (20” x 15” x 1.5”) R03 Boos Block is a standout in the category, widely praised for its exceptional craftsmanship, durability, and versatility. Constructed from solid, sustainably sourced North American maple, the board features recessed finger grips and a reversible design, providing a dedicated cutting surface for different types of food. The R03 is part of the NSF-certified R-Board series, which includes two additional sizes to suit various kitchen needs.

Each year, the Forbes Vetted editorial team collaborates with industry experts to conduct rigorous product testing, evaluating items across a range of criteria including quality, ease of use, value, and warranty coverage.

In its review, Forbes Vetted highlighted the R03’s resilience and performance:

“This handsome, durable northern hard rock maple board, our two-time pick for best wooden cutting board, could last for years upon years if you oil and protect the wood monthly. We think the extra effort is worth it to preserve the tough yet easy-on-knives John Boos Maple Edge-Grain Reversible Cutting Board.”

“With plenty of slicing space and a hardy 1.5-inch thickness that’s less likely to warp, the 12-pound board is a workhorse you can keep on your counter,” reviewers added.
One Forbes tester remarked, “Thanks to its heft, it didn’t budge one bit as I chopped through onions, carrots, and beets.”

“We are honored to see the R03 Boos Block once again recognized by Forbes Vetted,” said Lisa Bosio, Director of Consumer Products & Strategic Marketing at John Boos & Co. “This recognition reaffirms our commitment to delivering thoughtfully crafted, sustainable products that meet the needs of passionate home cooks and respected professional chefs across the country.”

RECTEQ® LAUNCHES X-FIRE PRO

June 10, 2025

recteq’s First Pellet Grill Designed for Gas Grillers

Evans, GA – recteq, a fast growing wood-fired grill brand, has announced the launch of the hottest pellet grill on the market, the X-Fire Pro. Designed with gas grillers in mind, the X-Fire Pro uses Dual Mode Cooking and Adaptive Sear Control to deliver the open lid cooking experience of a traditional gas grill, while also allowing grillers to cook classic low and slow recipes, all fueled by wood pellets.

With temperatures from 225°F to 1250°F, grillers can effortlessly switch between the high-heat, hands-on Grill Mode and the low-and-slow Smoke Mode, with all the wood-fired flavor, control, and convenience that barbecuers love. The X-Fire Pro is heated exclusively with 100% natural wood pellets rather than gas or propane tanks.

The X-Fire Pro is the first recteq grill with Adaptive Sear Control, allowing the griller to adjust the amount of direct fire for a fully customized grilling experience. Crank it high to allow more direct flame to hit your food and deliver an instant steakhouse crust, or dial it down for more classic grilling.

The pellet grill has an 825-square-inch cooking area, large enough for 28 pork chops or 26 burgers. It is built with a sturdy 304 stainless steel heat deflector, cast iron grill grates, and a 20-pound hopper, allowing for approximately 20 hours of nonstop cooking.

Equipped with recteq’s legendary Smart Grill Technology, the pellet grill features PID Control for maintaining precise temperatures while using Smoke Mode and Dual-band Wi-Fi to connect to the recteq App, making it simple to manage the grill remotely and find recipes. Like traditional gas grills, the Grill Mode dials can be set to low, medium, and high temperatures, but unlike gas grills, there is no fuel guesswork, starter failure, or unexpected flare-ups.

“Finally, the best gas grill is now a pellet grill. This is a totally new grill concept for recteq and the pellet grill category as a whole,” recteq CEO Ralph Santana shares. “Our research indicated that while the majority of gas grillers enjoy their current grilling experience, they wish they could also cook low and slow. So, we challenged ourselves to replicate the hot, fast, open-lid convenience of gas while still delivering that additional control and versatility of pellet grill smoking. With the X-Fire Pro, we’ve done that and stayed true to our quality and customer service DNA.”

The X-Fire Pro includes two meat probes and a user-friendly control panel. It also boasts an industry-leading 6-year bumper-to-bumper warranty and offers access to recteq’s dedicated customer service team, which is made up entirely of fellow grillers based in the U.S.

Retailing at $1549.99, the X-Fire Pro is available now on recteq.com, Amazon, and select retailers nationwide. An optional rotisserie spit rod ($249.99) enhances the X-Fire Pro’s versatility.

Known for high quality products, US-based customer service, and innovative Wi-Fi connected Smart Grill Technology, recteq is one the fastest growing grill brands in the category.

John Boos & Co. Sets New Benchmark in Foodservice Innovation with Boos Steel Flexible Serving System

May 22, 2025

Effingham, IL — At the NAFEM Show 2025, John Boos & Co., a trusted partner in the foodservice industry for over a century, unveiled the Boos Steel Flexible Serving System, an innovative foodservice product line redefining chef's counters that integrates utilities, enhances flexibility and efficiency, and delivers cost savings tailored for modern commercial kitchens.

Designed to be a smarter way to build and adjust in today’s rapidly evolving foodservice industry, the Boos Steel Flexible Serving System provides a scalable, pre-engineered solution with modular configurations for shelves, cabinets, food prep areas, and sinks, along with UL-listed utilities, that can be customized to fit any foodservice concept or kitchen layout.

A key innovation within the system, the Tray Line Service Model, is designed to enhance versatility and effectiveness in high-volume kitchens such as hospitals and senior living facilities. This modified open-base table features a split-roller design instead of traditional steel, improving workflow, offering more ergonomic tray handling, and reducing strain on staff.

Operators can seamlessly adjust their kitchen setup as menu offerings, service styles, and business needs shift—without the high expense associated with traditional renovations. This adaptability reduces upfront costs, minimizes downtime during modifications, and extends the lifespan of the serving counter.

“The Boos Steel Flexible Serving System is not just another chef’s counter—it’s a smarter, forward-thinking solution that offers a modular design with a wide range of options, streamlining commercial kitchens,” said Jennie Coon, Director of Foodservice Sales and Consultant Services at John Boos. “We take pride in our craftsmanship and our ability to deliver the durability that foodservice professionals rely on, making this system a true game-changer for the industry.”
