Epicurean Gourmet Series Cutting Board, 17.5-Inch by 13-Inch, Natural/Slate

Description

Epicurean cutting boards are a practical and distinctive improvement from poly, glass and wood cutting boards. They have all of the best qualities and none of the bad-in one highly functional surface. Every design is thoughtfully detailed for functionality in use, clean up and storage. All Epicurean Cutting boards are designed to fit in the dishwasher and many of our boards are NSF® approved, so that you can be assured that they will be easy to clean and will not harbor bacteria. Cutting on Epicurean boards will not dull your knives because the surface will score slightly, which helps it protect your knife s edge. These boards are made with a non-porous wood fiber composite from trees harvested under guidelines of the North America Sustainable Forestry Standards. Epicurean Cutting Surfaces® resist staining and cracking, and are heat resistant up to 350°. Manufactured in the USA . Reversible, this board is designed with a juice trough on one side and a flat side surface on the other side. This board measures 18 inches by 13 inches by 3/8 inches thick, with a cascade effect of color, natural with slate.Epicurean cutting surfaces not only add a sleek look to contemporary kitchens but perform with commercial-grade sturdiness. This 18-by-13-inch board in a natural brown finish is from the Gourmet series, one of three lines produced by Epicurean. The middle line in terms of thickness, Gourmet cutting boards measure 3/8-inch thick. This particular model is formed with a slate-colored (black) core that shows through at the juice groove cut around the perimeter. While the ends of the board are perfectly straight, the longer edges curve slightly. A hole in the corner allows hanging.

Epicurean makes its products in the USA of Richlite, a natural compressed wood-fiber laminate made from sustainable harvested trees. Many countertops now in contemporary kitchens are made from Richlite. The multi-functional surface won t dull knives; is heat-resistant to 350 degrees F, which means hot pans can be place on it without leaving a brown ring; requires no oiling; and is dishwasher-safe and approved by the National Safety Foundation (NSF). Both the top and bottom surfaces may be used for cutting meat, chopping onions, slicing bread, and more-the natural finish will darken with use. The Epicurean cutting surface makes a great gift for the home chef. --Ann Bieri
