Know before you buy
While the board features a flat side suitable for serving appetizers or cheeses, it is not technically reversible. The side with the juice groove is specifically designed for carving meats, while the reverse side serves as a stable, flat surface for presentation.
Hand wash the board with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately. Never soak the board or place it in the dishwasher, as the moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack. To maintain the finish, apply a food-grade mineral oil periodically to keep the wood hydrated.
Yes, the integrated deep juice groove is specifically engineered to catch runoff from holiday roasts, grilled meats, and poultry. It effectively contains liquids to keep your countertops clean during the carving process.
The board arrives finished with food-grade oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, we recommend establishing a routine of oiling the wood every few months to preserve its heirloom quality and prevent the maple from drying out.
Yes, the handles are built directly into the design, providing a secure grip for moving the board from your kitchen workspace to the dining table. The 20-inch length offers plenty of surface area to balance larger cuts of meat safely.
