EpicureanGourmet Series Cutting Board with Juice Groove, 19.5-Inch by 15-Inch, Slate/Natural

This is an outrageous price for a cutting board...after all you can buy plastic for a dollar. But I have to say this is the BEST cutting board I've ever had in my life. I am very messy, and there is nothing that doesn't come clean when I scrub this thing...red wine stains, dried egg, you name it, it scrubs off like a breeze. It's so durable, it's large and I couldn't live without it now.Full disclosure: I bought a smaller one of these first, it was less money, half as big, and after using it, I knew I had to have the big one.Excellent product.10 MONTHS LATER: I do not believe I have ever done this before...come back to a review and "refresh" it after using the product for almost a year. I bought a little bottle of oil (for seasoning iron skillets) and found that one little squirt of that oil and a papertowel keep my cutting board (which is REALLY used daily, with wine stains, stuck on foods from cooking...it sits under all my countertop "work") looking like I knew. I scrub the bejesus out of it with a brush in the sink to get it clean, and even have used cleanser powder to get out the red wine stains...so I'm taking the "finish" with me when I scrub. But one dollop of the oil and it's looking like new again. I'm telling you, this thing is worth every cent I spent. (and I can't afford to buy the best, usually.) There are some faint cut marks from chopping foods on it, but apart from that, it looks like the day I bought it. I just remember ONE other product, a gift to me frrom a friend, a very high-end plastic spatula. That spatula and this cutting board would go with me when they take me away.

This cutting board is a disappointment. Not long after purchase, I started seeing black residue in vegetables I had just chopped. The surface of the cutting board appears to not be able to withstand knife work, transferring the surface coating into the food. In no way can this make the food safe for consumption. I own another Epicurean board that I love and has withstood the test of time. It is very disappointing to me that I spent the money on this one and now have to throw it away.

I've had an epicurean board for years and I've loved it since. They are dishwasher safe, light, durable, and heat resistant. They do discolor after a lot of use, but that's the point right? Use it if you've got it. I bought this new one because of the groove to catch drippings. Same great quality as before. I did go a size bigger than I had and it's a bit to large to clean in the sink easily, but since it's dishwasher safe I never worry.

I had high hopes for this board, but right out of the box, there were issues. First, it slipped around badly on our counter. Second, within a couple weeks, it had warped, so it would not lie flat. We ended up returning it.

Well I’ve only had it for two days, but so far it’s great. However I will add it is definitely not non-slip, we have quartz countertops and everything slides around. What I did was buy some silicone pads that are for mounting pictures and I put them on the bottom of the cutting board think I use nine in total so they were evenly spaced out and it is perfect, nonslip totally stable and awesome!

I bought this cutting board to protect my investment in an expensive new knife set. I needed to find a board that was knife friendly and easy to clean. After a bunch of research and reading reviews, I settled on this board and I am not disappointed. It is easy to clean and is dishwasher safe. I pop it in about once a week to ensure a thorough cleaning. I picked a size that I could use everyday and got rid of 3 or 4 other boards of various sizes. Great product.

Meets my needs and has just about all the features I wanted except non slip grips, but I suppose just putting a dish towel underneath works just fine. It really didn't seem to slip too much while I was cutting on it. It is dishwasher safe, has juice a groove, and has a hole in case you want to hang it. I think it's also reversible, but you will have to peel the sticker off the back. I've only had it for about a week so it hasn't seen enough high pigmented vegetables to prove if it stain resistant or enough heat from hot pots to show if it's also able to withstand 350ﾟ temperature if used as a trivet. I managed to get this size on sale for under $40, but either way...excellent value!

What the selling point is for me is its non-porous structure. That cuts the chances of bateria growth and contamination way down. Hand and dishwasher safe, temps to 350°F and easy on knife edges makes this the perfect choice for me. Haven't owned it long enough to comment on its long term duribility but my guess is that its pretty good.

I have the worlds best Ceramic knives by kyocera and now the best cutting board to go with it without damaging my blades. This cleans easy and is super good to chop with. I use one side for raw, one side for cooked and so far so good. I even got the wax? to go with it so I can condition it when need be.

I love Epicurean products and had other product of the same series and this one was missing. If this did not came from Amazon (which I trust), I would think it was fake. The colors, black stripes were washed out and the color tone was very different from the other Epicurean products I have.I didn't bother to return it as it was an international shipping but I would otherwise do. I still give 4 stars as it's not the fault of the product bur probably rather the seller.

I was super excited to get this chopping board, then I opened the box and it has a very vivid scratch on the front. The process to return something to amazon and get your money back for the shipping costs is unclear. Pretty disappointed with AMAZON, the product itself looks amazing minus the scratch.

Does anyone else's look like this? It's also slightly warped. Haven't had this a year yet and from the description, write-up and reviews I expected a much better product. Not worth the money in my opinion.

Très bonne planche qui nous à été conseillé. Cependant les lames de couteau marque plus la planche que j’aurais imaginé après 2 semaines. Nous avons une planche en bambou depuis 3 ans qui semble indestructible en comparaison.
