How durable is this Epicurean cutting board for daily meal prep?

• Material: Richlite paper composite for strength and stability
• Temperature tolerance: safe up to 350°F

Will this cutting board harm my knives or show deep grooves?

The Epicurean surface is formulated to be gentle on knife edges so blades stay sharper longer. Knives will leave light score marks over time, which is a normal sign the board is protecting your knife rather than dulling it.

• Knife-friendly: minimizes blade dulling compared with harder surfaces
• Light scoring expected: indicates protective wear, not failure
• Dual-sided use extends overall lifespan

How easy is it to clean and store this 11.5 × 9-inch board?

• Dishwasher compatible for quick sanitation
• Built-in thumb hole for hanging or grabbing from shelves
• Thin, lightweight design for compact storage
