The Gourmet Series Cutting Boards feature a three-eighths inch profile. Equipped for convenience with a juice groove on one side and a flat food prep surface on the other, this is an everyday surface for difficult recipes or more common fare. The slightly heavier weight of this cutting board feels good under the knife but it can still be handled, cleaned, and stored easily. Certified food safe by NSF International, Epicurean cutting boards are dishwasher safe, will not harbor bacteria and are knife friendly. This wood composite material is comprised of a mixed source of wood fibers and is ceritfied by Smartwood to the Forest Stewardship Council standards. Preferred and used by prfessional chefs for more than 50 years - no well-equipped home kitchen should be without an Epicurean Cutting Board.
