Know before you buy
The sloped groove is designed to channel liquids away from your workspace and into a reservoir. This keeps your counters clean while allowing you to collect meat juices for making au jus or sauces.
Yes, the board is fully reversible. One side features the juice groove for carving meats, while the flat reverse side provides a smooth, uninterrupted surface ideal for chopping vegetables or prepping ingredients.
The finger grips are recessed into the sides of the board, which makes it easier to lift and move the 12-pound block without compromising the flat, stable surface on top. They do not interfere with the board's ability to sit flush on your countertop.
Because this is a natural wood product, you should hand wash it and never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher. To maintain the wood's integrity and prevent cracking, apply a food-grade mineral oil or Boos Block Mystery Oil regularly.
At 1-1/2 inches thick, this board is substantial and heavy, which helps it resist warping and provides a stable, non-slip foundation for heavy-duty chopping and carving tasks.
