Why TopGourmet?TopGourmet products are synonymous with proficient and improved food preparation. From dishwasher safe cutting boards to an array of innovative utensils, TopGourmet has revolutionized wood kitchenware products. Made of many layers of FSC certified paper pressed together with a food safe resin, all TopGourmet products will last for years of daily kitchen use. All products are made in the USA and designed with a focus on function but also with a concern for the environmental stewardship. From the heavy duty Big Block boards to the agile Kitchen Series utensils, TopGourmet sets a higher standard for every well equipped kitchenFrom Skate Parks to Cutting BoardsWhat do skateboarders and foodies have in common? They're both cutting it up on the same durable material. In 2003 Top Gourmet was founded by custom skate park manufacturer TrueRide as a way to repurpose excess skating surface material used by the company. The founders of TrueRide knew of the history of the surface material in commercials kitchens, so creating a line of home food prep surfaces from scrap was as natural as, well, skating on it. TrueRide skate parks last for years outdoors with extensive abuse from both weather and skaters, so you can be sure your TopGourmet Cutting Surface can handle even the hardest working kitchenEco InitiativesTopGourmet understands the relationship between the products we manufacture and the environment we all live in.

Each colour is composed of a set of fibre sources layered together and pressed along with a food safe resin, to form a sheet that has unequalled food preparation properties. Each color of TopGourmet cutting surfaces has slightly different features based on the blend of its sources, though all of them share the fact that they are a wood fibre kitchen tool that is dishwasher safeCare & UseAll TopGourmet cutting surfaces offer a durable design that can stand up to the rigorous daily use of any busy kitchen.

Initially expensive but well worth it
I have several of these boards and no longer bother with any other chipping board. They are easy to clean, whether by hand or by dishwasher. They withstand quite a lot of heat (although a hot saucepan placed directly onto it may result in a slight burn mark which spoils its beauty!)The best advantage for older people is how lightweight they are for arthritic hands compared to wooden equivalents of a similar size, and they don't crack along the grain like wooden ones (as there is no grain). They don't blunt your knives like a glass board. They don't mark or damage as easily as plastic ones, so are much longer lasting than all other types.I have had three of these boards in different sizes for nearly 20 years; one has recently acquired a small chip on one corner, but that doesn't affect its use. I only bought this new one because I had lost my previous one in this size.

Decent quality but slips on the worktop and too loud when chopping
Had to buy a non-slip mat for this board (not ideal) and also it still annoys everyone in the household with the noise when chopping. The quality of the board itself is good and it washes well in the dishwasher. Would prefer it to have more grip and a less noisy material.

Light and easy to clean
I have arthritis in my hands and find most wooden chopping boards too big and bulky to pick up easily. These boards are very light, easy to clean, and are also eco-friendly. Expensive, yes, but they last well. We'd had our first two for well over four years before they started to lose their surface.

Mis-branded!
This did not come as advertised! It is branded as a TopGourmet chopping board but I was sent an Epicurean branded board, however it does appear the same as my original TopGourmet board - however I think the listing should be changed as it is misleading!

Dishwasher Safe.
This board is superb in every way.Pleasing to look at, feels good, knives like it and best of all dishwasher safe therefore hygienic.The colour doesn't fade which my previous board did.Light enough to lift with one hand but doesn't move around on the worktop.This and the smaller board would make a lovely present.

My now favourite chopping board
My now favourite chopping board. You can even use it to dish up and present to food as it's pretty good looking.

Best there is!
TopGourmet quite simply make the best cutting boards. I had my previous one for over five years, and wouldn't have had to replace it if my lovely other half hadn't placed a hot pan on it (Don't do this! It causes the coating to blister) They are hard wearing, never get stained or retain smells, and worth every penny.
