Epicurean Gourmet Series Cutting Board with Juice Groove, 14.5"×11.25" Natural/Slate — Reversible, Dishwasher-Safe, Heat-Resistant

The Epicurean Gourmet Series cutting board is a reversible, dishwasher-safe wood-fiber composite board with an integrated juice groove for tidy food prep and durable, knife-friendly performance.

Built from a nonporous wood-fiber composite and made in the USA, this 14.5" × 11.25" Epicurean board balances lightweight handling with heat resistance and easy cleaning. One side features a shallow juice groove to catch liquids and keep countertops clean, while the reverse side provides a flat surface for rolling, chopping, and general prep. The slate-accented edge and built-in carry hole combine practical details with simple aesthetics suitable for busy home cooks and organized kitchens.

How does the juice groove keep my kitchen cleaner?

The integrated juice groove channels liquids away from your food and the counter, reducing spills and simplifying cleanup. It’s shallow enough to still allow easy scraping of liquids into a bowl or sink while preventing accidental runoff when transferring ingredients.

• Channels juices from meats, fruits, and vegetables to prevent countertop runoff
• Reversible design lets you switch to a flat side for tasks that need a smooth surface
• Built-in carry hole guides the board when pouring liquids to a sink or container

Will this board dull my knives or absorb odors?

Epicurean boards are made from a dense wood-fiber composite that yields slightly under a knife’s edge, helping to preserve sharpness compared with glass or hard plastics. The nonporous surface resists staining and does not harbor odors like untreated wood can, so flavors won’t transfer between tasks when rinsed and washed properly.

• Knife-friendly surface minimizes edge dulling
• Nonporous construction resists stains and flavor absorption
• Dishwasher safe for hygienic cleaning after heavy use

How heat resistant and durable is the Epicurean Gourmet Series board?

This board tolerates temperatures up to 350°F (175°C), so it can protect countertops from warm pans briefly set down and stand up to frequent use. The material resists cracking and warping over time, offering a durable alternative to traditional wood while staying lightweight for everyday handling.

• Heat resistant to 350°F / 175°C for brief contact with warm cookware
• Engineered to resist cracking, warping, and delamination
• Lightweight construction makes it easy to move, store, and handle

How do I care for and store this cutting board?

Epicurean boards are designed to be low-maintenance: they are dishwasher safe and can be air-dried or stored vertically using the built-in hole. Routine washing and drying keep the surface sanitary and ready for the next use without special oiling or treatments required by traditional wooden boards.

• Dishwasher safe for thorough cleaning and sanitization
• Built-in hanging/handling hole supports vertical storage to save counter space
• No sealing or oiling necessary—simply wash and dry after use

Who is this for: Home cooks who want a practical, low-maintenance cutting surface that balances durability with knife-friendliness will appreciate the Epicurean Gourmet Series 14.5 × 11.25" board. It’s well suited to everyday meal prep, small-batch baking, and households that need a reliable board that resists stains, handles warm cookware briefly, and stores easily. If you want a reversible board with a dedicated juice groove and dishwasher convenience without the weight of heavy wood or the brittleness of glass, this Epicurean board is a sensible choice.
