Overview
A 14.5 by 11.25 inch cutting board from Epicurean's Kitchen Series, made from a wood fiber composite rather than solid wood or plastic, in a natural finish. It carries NSF certification and is made in the USA.
The material is the point of difference: wood fiber composite is dense enough to be knife friendly like wood, but it goes in the dishwasher like plastic, a combination most solid wood boards cannot offer. Epicurean also sells it as a heat safe surface, rated to 350 degrees, so it doubles as a trivet.
- 14.5 x 11.25 inch natural finish board
- Wood fiber composite, made in USA
- NSF approved, dishwasher safe
- Heat resistant to 350 degrees, doubles as a trivet
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a wood feel cutting surface without hand washing and oiling a wood board, plus commercial kitchens, since the listing notes chefs have used this material for decades.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dishwasher safe unlike most wood boards
- NSF approved and knife friendly
- Doubles as a trivet up to 350 degrees
- No oiling or bleaching required
- No antimicrobial or nonslip feature mentioned
- Single natural color and size in this listing
Performance notes
The wood fiber composite is dense and slightly textured, which is what keeps it gentle on knife edges compared to glass or hard plastic, while the same density lets it handle a dishwasher cycle without warping. Because there is no oil finish to maintain, the surface changes color gradually with use rather than needing periodic conditioning.
