Epicurean Kitchen Series Cutting Board, 11.5-Inch × 9-Inch, Natural

Excellent cutting board with a solid and durable feel. The size is perfect for everyday cooking, and the surface is gentle on knives while still being sturdy. Easy to clean, lightweight, and looks great in the kitchen. Very happy with this purchase.

My wife likes to cook, so she asked for this fancy cutting board for Christmas. She was a good girl last year, so Santa obliged. She absolutely loves this cutting board. In an in-depth interview with her about it, she gave the following reasons why: 1) No micro-plastics. This cutting board is made of paper... which is weird, but strangely cool. 2) It's dishwasher safe. 3) It doesn't stain. (see picture with plastic cutting board) 4) Decisive cutting. It has a very hard surface; harder than plastic. 5) The hole makes it easy to grab and pull out of the cabinet. 6) Very sturdy and durable, yet lighter than plastic. She said she likes it so much, she wants to also get other sizes. The cutting board is really thin, about half as thin as her old plastic one (see picture), which means she can store two of these in place of one plastic board. As a dude, my take on this cutting board is it's very rigid and tough... so tough I'd compare it to the toughness of my Toyota truck; which on the toughness scale ranks up there with the cockroach. I'd even bet a Slurpee this cutting board could double as a medieval battle shield in a pinch; though I'd never want to test that theory. It's a little pricey, but that's what toughness demands. After just over a month of regular family use, my wife is extremely pleased with her new cutting board... and that means Santa earned himself some badly needed honey points. Yes! A win for Mr. Claus!

I have 4 of these boards in different sizes and colors. They are all wonderful. Easy to store and clean. Nice looking. Highly recommend.

I own six of these in various sizes and have used them for years. They are made of a composite material which is extremely versatile. The surface, although somewhat resembling wood, doesn't cut like a wood board, eliminating splinters while withstanding constant use by very sharp knives. The hardness of the board does not harm the sharpness of my Shun knives. The boards are thin and light, which makes them easy to handle and store. The surface will not absorb liquids as witnessed by how fast they air dry after washing. Clean up is a snap - rinse, quick wipe with some Dawn on a sponge, rinse, air dry. I have never put them in a dishwasher (why would you?), so I can't speak to that. I do use a fancy, thick maple cutting board for aesthetic effect when carving at table, but rarely because of the cleaning and seasoning I have to do afterwards. As the title says, the Epicurean cutting boards are the finest available. I'd be hard pressed to say what else I could possibly want in a cutting board.

Works well and easy to wash, I just wish it had non-slip backing.

Best cutting board ever. If you need a basic cutting board, go with Epicurean. They are not fancy butcher block custom cutting boards; though, these last a long time and do not split. Stay away from the cheap bamboo cutting boards and just pick up one of the Epicurean cutting boards.

This is immediately getting a 1 star from me for the sole fact that the size is not as advertised. Measured end to end, it hits about 14.5" but on the width, it's just shy of 10.5". The 11.25" figure is measured at its widest point, and being it is curved, you are not getting that surface area across the entire board. As someone else pointed out, this thing sheds. Having to sand it down and then treat with mineral oil is dumb. If I wanted to spend time with long maintenance, I would have just bought a more expensive butcher block style. Not to mention, this isn't wood, it's paper. Which means this will deteriorate much faster. Completely disappointed with this. Oh and the smell complaint is absolutely real. I peeled the sticker off and washed it and as soon as the hot water hit it, this acrid chemical smell came off of it. I know some said it smelled of formaldehyde. I'm not sure what that smells like but it's an awful stink. I'm debating tossing this right in the garbage.

Great cutting board for cutting small items, most used board at the moment!

C'est ma deuxième planche...plus grande que la deuxième. Celle ci c'est 38x28. J'ai hésité avec le modele au dessus, mais finalement c'est bien assez grand. J'ai découpé un poulet hier soir dessus sans problème. Pour le reste, c'est du EPICURIAN : Oui, ça n'abîmera le fil du couteau, ça passe au lave vaisselle, supporte des températures élevées (sert de dessous de plat)...

Good material for a cutting board!!

This is my 2nd board. The 1st one i received as a gift and I love the solid board. Not only soild and is durable. Currently using the old one for 2 years now. There is no smell after wash & dry

Comodi, leggeri, facilmente lavabili anche in lavastoviglie (anche se sconsiglio di farlo: l'acqua troppo calda mi pare li rovini e non occorre, visto che non assorbono nessun odore neanche se li si usa per affettare cipolle). Indeformabili e anche belli da vedere. All'occorrenza possono essere usati come sottopentola. Consigliatissimi.

Extremely disappointed. After only 20 days of very rare use, the cutting board is already shedding tiny particles from the knife marks. This should not happen with a product advertised for food preparation. Very poor quality. I would not recommend buying this. Waste of money
