Epicurean Handy Series cutting board 9 x 7.5 in Natural — Richlite, handle & reversible two‑sided prep surface

The Epicurean Handy Series Cutting Board with Handle is a compact, USA-made Richlite paper composite board that serves as a durable, knife-friendly cutting surface and a convenient serving platter.

This 9-inch by 7.5-inch natural-colored board combines lightweight portability with a long grip handle for easy chopping, slicing, transporting and presenting food. Crafted from Richlite, a paper composite material made in the U.S., it resists odors, won’t harbor bacteria, and tolerates temperatures up to 350°F. Its slim profile is reversible for two working faces and the built-in thumb hole lets you hang it for simple storage.

How does this board stand up to daily kitchen use?

Designed for everyday cooking, the Epicurean Handy Board balances durability with knife-friendliness. The Richlite surface accepts knife marks without dulling blades excessively, and the non-porous composition keeps cleanup low-maintenance.

• Temperature resistant up to 350°F for hot-plate tasks

What makes the handle and size practical for serving and prep?

The elongated handle and compact footprint make this board versatile: large enough for chopping small batches and narrow enough to carry and present appetizers. The thumb hole on the handle also provides secure grip and convenient hanging storage.

Will this board damage my knives or absorb smells?

Epicurean boards are created to be gentle on knife edges compared with harder surfaces like glass or stone. The Richlite material is non-porous, so it won’t trap food odors or promote bacterial growth when cleaned appropriately.

• Knife-friendly surface minimizes excessive blade dulling
• Non-porous structure prevents odor absorption and staining
• Easy to wash by hand; top-rack dishwasher safe on most Epicurean lines (check care guidelines)
• Two-sided use evens out wear and extends life

How should I care for and maintain this Epicurean board?

Maintenance is straightforward: rinse after use, wash with warm soapy water, and dry upright or hang by the thumb hole. Avoid prolonged soaking and exposure to direct flame or broiler elements to preserve the composite integrity.

• Hand wash with mild detergent and dry immediately
• Avoid soaking or leaving in standing water
• Heat resistant up to 350°F but do not place under direct broiler flame
• Rotate sides to even out wear and prolong lifespan
