Know before you buy
No, this board is not dishwasher safe. To prevent warping or cracking, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water and dry it immediately.
Edge-grain construction provides a dense, durable surface that is resistant to deep knife scarring. It is an excellent choice for daily chopping and prep work while remaining gentle on your knife blades.
No, this model does not feature non-slip feet. If you find it slides during use, placing a damp kitchen towel or a silicone mat underneath the board will provide a stable, secure base.
Because this is a natural wood product, you should regularly apply a food-grade mineral oil or butcher block conditioner. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain its moisture resistance.
This board is designed with a single finished surface and is not reversible. You should use the top side for all your food preparation.
