Epicurean Kitchen Series 14.5" × 11.25" Cutting Board in Slate

My wife likes to cook, so she asked for this fancy cutting board for Christmas. She was a good girl last year, so Santa obliged. She absolutely loves this cutting board. In an in-depth interview with her about it, she gave the following reasons why: 1) No micro-plastics. This cutting board is made of paper... which is weird, but strangely cool. 2) It's dishwasher safe. 3) It doesn't stain. (see picture with plastic cutting board) 4) Decisive cutting. It has a very hard surface; harder than plastic. 5) The hole makes it easy to grab and pull out of the cabinet. 6) Very sturdy and durable, yet lighter than plastic. She said she likes it so much, she wants to also get other sizes. The cutting board is really thin, about half as thin as her old plastic one (see picture), which means she can store two of these in place of one plastic board. As a dude, my take on this cutting board is it's very rigid and tough... so tough I'd compare it to the toughness of my Toyota truck; which on the toughness scale ranks up there with the cockroach. I'd even bet a Slurpee this cutting board could double as a medieval battle shield in a pinch; though I'd never want to test that theory. It's a little pricey, but that's what toughness demands. After just over a month of regular family use, my wife is extremely pleased with her new cutting board... and that means Santa earned himself some badly needed honey points. Yes! A win for Mr. Claus!

very nice. love that they go in the dishwasher

I own six of these in various sizes and have used them for years. They are made of a composite material which is extremely versatile. The surface, although somewhat resembling wood, doesn't cut like a wood board, eliminating splinters while withstanding constant use by very sharp knives. The hardness of the board does not harm the sharpness of my Shun knives. The boards are thin and light, which makes them easy to handle and store. The surface will not absorb liquids as witnessed by how fast they air dry after washing. Clean up is a snap - rinse, quick wipe with some Dawn on a sponge, rinse, air dry. I have never put them in a dishwasher (why would you?), so I can't speak to that. I do use a fancy, thick maple cutting board for aesthetic effect when carving at table, but rarely because of the cleaning and seasoning I have to do afterwards. As the title says, the Epicurean cutting boards are the finest available. I'd be hard pressed to say what else I could possibly want in a cutting board.

Epicurian always comes through and have always loved their cutting boards. They are almost indestructible. I bought 2 of them 5 years ago with rubber ends that keep it from moving around. This one does move around a bit, as it has no rubber feet (they make ones that do, just not in this size), not when cutting but wiping with a rag, it will move. Perfect size for what I need. I bought a different unknown brand first, for just a bit less but it was warped, no matter which side I placed it, it would not sit flat. Just stick with Epicurian and pay the small increase. You will have it for years after all.

After watching so many videos about micro-plastics in our bodies, I decided to get rid of my old plastic cutting board that was starting to show a lot of deep cut marks in it. Did a bunch of research about all the different materials involved in cutting boards, and this is what I decided: Glass is too rough on the knife blade, dulled it quickly. Wood, especially the great looking boards, scars quickly and gets ugly fast, and you have to keep it treated. Stainless steel has the same problems as glass. So I decided to go with a composite board...GREAT CHOICE! Cuts great, doesn't scar, and super easy to keep clean. You won't be disappointed.

Easy to clean and I like that it can be hung up after use.

We use these for meat over thinner plastic boards that shred easily. These have been really durable so far. They are easy to clean, sturdy, and stable. We have them in two colors in the kitchen. I really prefer cutting on wood, but not for meat. These are a welcome addition to the kitchen.

Strong chemical smell, even after multiple washings. This has already warped and I only ever hand washed it. I cannot believe it has such high ratings. It’s like super compressed particle board. Awful. Do not buy this. Update: I put the board in the dishwasher to see if the chemicals smell went away, and because I had nothing to lose at the his point. Well,?the toxic chemical smell went away and it miraculously straightened out. I don’t know how, but it’s a win. I wish they put something about it on the label. But I have been dishwashing this for a while and it still has not warped. Which is all I wanted to so I changed my rating.

Good material for a cutting board!!

This is my 2nd board. The 1st one i received as a gift and I love the solid board. Not only soild and is durable. Currently using the old one for 2 years now. There is no smell after wash & dry

Comodi, leggeri, facilmente lavabili anche in lavastoviglie (anche se sconsiglio di farlo: l'acqua troppo calda mi pare li rovini e non occorre, visto che non assorbono nessun odore neanche se li si usa per affettare cipolle). Indeformabili e anche belli da vedere. All'occorrenza possono essere usati come sottopentola. Consigliatissimi.

Cumple perfectamente las expectativas. Es de color Negro mate en la primera semana de uso no se aprecia desgaste por los cortes.

E' un tagliere leggero, ma resistentissimo. Per distrazione è stato appoggiato sul fornello acceso ma non ha preso fuoco, si è rovinata un po' la parte a contatto con la fiamma, ma l'altra è rimasta integra. E' da almeno 15 anni che lo utilizzo e non ha subito nessun decadimento. Adesso ne ho comprato uno nuovo per sostituirlo con quello bruciato. Apparentemente ha un costo un po' alto, ma data la praticità (non assorbe olio e si pulisce facilmente) vale il suo prezzo. Lo consiglio, è un prodotto buonissimo.
