EpicureanKitchen Series Cutting Board, 17.5-Inch × 13-Inch, Natural

Our family cooks a lot and these are our go-to cutting boards. We purchased this one after having a smaller size and loving it so much. They can warp a little and slide around but I just flip it back and forth to help balance it out. The color is very pretty giving you that warm homey vibe in your kitchen. Also great for decoration and for serving things on!

Sharp knives and tools are important to achieve the best results. This means cutting on glass, stone, and other hard surfaces, was, for me, not done. I always used good wood boards (expensive) but was not a fan of cleaning/sanitizing them. Definitely not good to run a wood cutting board through the dishwasher. When I saw the Epicurean was dishwasher safe I decided to give it a try. This size (18 x 13) lets me put it over one basin of my kitchen double basin sink and gives me some extra counter room which is always a plus when preparing food. A cutting board is by design, sacrificial, so the knives leave marks which is to be expected. This board will last for many many years and I look at the cutting marks as proof that my knives are not being abused.The board is very light due to it's thin design but still extremely sturdy. This makes putting it in the pan/sheet rack in the cabinet easy. I don't use my old wood boards any more. In fact I have ordered two more, smaller, Epicurean cutting boards for those smaller prep jobs I have to do. Great product.

Excellent cutting board that takes a few days to get used to. It's different than your normal plastic or wood board in that it is a very hard surface that creates a louder "clacking" sound and less knife resistance when you slice and dice (one reason your knife stays sharper I believe). At first you may think that you prefer your old board that has a lower "clacking" sound, however, you start to realize that the cutting action is just as good or better than your old board and the grooves that are created from the knife blade are much smaller. This makes cleaning the board much easier as the surface remains much smoother for your sponge to get all the food particles off. Also the weight of the board is much lighter than either plastic or wood, which makes the trip from the counter to the sink or lifting to the pan much easier and faster. I highly recommend the largest size (17x13) and would use if for a while if you are unsure about it at first. Also keep a small dish towel underneath the board to prevent it from sliding around and to slightly elevate to grab easily.

Recently upgraded my cutting boards from plastic type to eliminate micro-plastics in my food. Great choice. Easy to maintain, and I know they hold up well, as my daughter has used them for years.

I had one before. I got another one since the last one I let someone have. It's nice that it is light and easy to clean. I can use it for pizza etc.

I love this brand. They hold up and do not stain

Nice big work surface, the biggest board I own. Looks great. Does not seem to be dulling my knife blade any. If the claims of eco-friendliness and bacteria resistance are true (how would I know, really) then this is a pretty great cutting board. It doesn't fit in my dishwasher, but it cleans up nicely in the sink. (I have a smaller board made of a similar material that cleans up fine in the dishwasher.)One big flaw, though, and the reason I reach for another board 95% of the time: it slips. There's an easy solution: put a damp paper towel under the board. Use the paper towel to wipe up afterwards and it's not as wasteful, I guess. But as easy as that solution is, it is even easier for me to just use the cutting board with the rubberized edges that does not skid around.One more thing, either a plus or a minus depending on what you're chopping: nothing to keep liquid from running off the board. For wet food, I definitely want the other board, which has a little channel. However, scraping food (especially small stuff like garlic or ginger) off the other board into a pan is a bit harder because of the channel, whereas on this board food scrapes right off.Maybe I'll buy some stick-on rubber feet (although I'm worried that they'd just come off after a few washings) because other than the slipping, this is a really great board.

Have used ours for over two years now, still in great shape, has kept its color, no chipping or deep cuts. Worth every penny for the longevity and knowing it’s not made of plastic.
