Developed from a material used in restaurants for the past 35 years, Epicurean cutting surfaces are made from an environmentally friendly natural wood fiber laminate. A pleasure to use and even easier to clean, Epicurean cutting boards are dishwasher safe, won't dull knives, are virtually maintenance free and NSF approved. Temperature resistant to 350 degrees, the durable board is nonporous, prohibits bacteria growth, and resists odors and stains. This carving board is designed specifically for slicing large cuts of meat and features a highly textured surface that holds meat in place while you slice. The integrated juice groove collects liquids while you work, eliminating mess and increasing food safety by preventing cross contamination. Made in the USA.
