Epicurean Cutting Board 17.5 x 13 Nutmeg — All-in-One with Juice Groove, Dishwasher-Safe

The Epicurean 17.5" x 13" All-in-One Cutting Board in Nutmeg is a dual-sided, dishwasher-safe paper-composite board with a juice groove and non-slip feet for stable, versatile food prep.

This board combines the most popular practical features from Epicurean’s lineup into one versatile surface. One side has a raised juice groove to catch liquids while the smooth reverse offers an expanded workspace for larger tasks. At 17.5" x 13" the board provides generous cutting room while staying thin and lightweight for easy handling, storage, and cleanup. Its paper-composite construction is durable, gentle on knife edges, and proudly made in the USA.

How does the juice groove improve everyday prep?

The built-in juice groove channels juices, oils, and liquids away from produce or meats so your counter and cutting surface stay cleaner. That makes washing up faster and limits spills when transferring chopped ingredients to bowls or pans. Use the grooved side for juicy foods and flip the board when you need a flat surface.

• Raised peripheral groove captures liquids during slicing
• Groove helps prevent countertop drips when carrying ingredients
• Flip to the smooth side for rolling dough or prepping larger items

Will this board hold up to knives and a dishwasher?

Epicurean’s paper-composite material is designed to be knife-friendly and endure routine dishwasher cycles used in home and commercial settings. Expect light scoring from knives—this indicates the material is protecting blade edges rather than dulling them. The board is dishwasher safe, though initial dishwasher cycles may help diffuse any factory scent.

• Knife-safe surface preserves sharpness over time
• Dishwasher safe for convenient sanitizing and cleanup
• Durable composite resists warping and heavy wear

How does the board stay stable during use?

The board includes four non-slip silicone feet to keep it secure on countertops whether you’re using the grooved or flat side. These feet reduce sliding and protect surfaces from scratches. Its thin, lightweight profile makes it easy to reposition while the thumb hole provides a reliable grip for carrying or hanging.

• Four silicone feet prevent slipping on wet or smooth counters
• Thin profile and thumb hole simplify lifting and storage
• Stable both grooved- and flat-side up for flexible use

What maintenance and longevity should I expect?

The natural paper-composite will develop a deeper patina with use, similar to how wood ages, but this change is cosmetic and won’t affect performance. Routine dishwasher cycles are recommended for sanitizing; allow two to three washes initially to dissipate any manufacturing scent. Epicurean does not guarantee color fastness for the life of the product, but the board is built to be long-lasting and low maintenance.

• Color may deepen over time without affecting function
• Dishwasher safe — measure dishwasher space before ordering
• Hand drying is optional; board resists warping and cracking
