What customers say
Customers consistently praise the HexClad Walnut Cutting Board for its exceptional quality and striking aesthetic design.

Know before you buy
Walnut is prized for its high density and tight grain, which makes it exceptionally durable while remaining gentle on your knife blades. Its natural antimicrobial properties and resistance to odors make it a hygienic choice for daily food preparation.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. One side features a juice groove to catch liquids during meat carving, while the other side is completely flat, providing a smooth, uninterrupted surface for chopping vegetables or serving charcuterie.
To maintain the board's self-healing properties and prevent cracking, you should periodically apply food-grade mineral oil. This keeps the wood hydrated and helps maintain its rich, dark color over time.
Absolutely. The integrated recessed handles make it easy to transport the board from your kitchen counter to the dining table, allowing it to function as an elegant serving platter for cheeses or appetizers.
Walnut is naturally resistant to stains and odors, which helps it hold up well against acidic ingredients. However, we recommend wiping the board clean promptly after use to ensure it stays in pristine condition.
