| Why Epicurean?Epicurean brand products are synonymous with proficient and improved food preparation. From dishwasher safe cutting boards to an array of innovative utensils, Epicurean has revolutionized wood kitchenware products. Made of many layers of FSC certified paper pressed together with a food safe resin, all Epicurean 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 environmental stewardship. From the heavy duty Big Block boards to the agile Kitchen Series utensils, Epicurean sets a higher standard for every well equipped kitchen. |
| From 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 Epicurean 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 commercial 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 Epicurean Cutting Surface can handle even the hardest working kitchen. |
| Eco InitiativesEpicurean understands the relationship between the products we manufacture and the environment we all live in. By purchasing Epicurean products, you are making a consumer statement and showing your commitment to green products and green business practices. Epicurean is dedicated to creating long-lasting products that are manufactured with sustainable manufacturing practices and made from environmentally conscientious materials like recycled paper, plastic, and FSC certified papers. Epicurean's manufacturing facility is founded on principles of efficient and responsible use and reuse of manufacturing materials, and has received multiple awards for its ethical business practices and architectural design. Every year Epicurean employees participate in a Tree Planting Day to help offset the manufacturing process. |
Epicurean cutting surfaces are fabricated using materials that gain their natural look and texture from the organic contents that comprise them. Each color is composed of a set of fiber sources layered together and pressed along with a food safe resin to form a sheet that has unequaled food preparation properties. Each color of Epicurean 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 fiber kitchen tool that is dishwasher safe.
All Epicurean cutting surfaces offer a durable design that can stand up to the rigorous daily use of any busy kitchen. They all resist staining and offer maintenance-free convenience--no need to oil or bleach. Though stain-resistant, the cutting surface may stain if left in contact with a highly alkaline product or food for a prolonged amount of time. Liver, papaya, and red beets, for example, may leave a mark. To remove stubborn stains, try a non-abrasive household cleaner. All cutting surfaces can be cleaned in the dishwasher, or by hand in the sink with hot soapy water.
Epicurean cutting boards are exclusively manufactured in the United States of America.
Cutting on Epicurean cutting boards will not dull your knife so you will sharpen less.
Epicurean's Natural, Slate, and RC100 materials are all certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
Epicurean wood fiber cutting boards are heat resistant up to 350°F / 176°C, so you can use the surface as a trivet without leaving a blemish.
Certified by the National Sanitary Foundation, you can be sure that your nonporous Epicurean cutting board will be easy to clean and will not harbor bacteria.
Unlike wood and bamboo cutting boards, Epicurean cutting boards can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

The Superior Cutting Board,
By
This review is from: Epicurean Kitchen Series 15-by-11-Inch Kitchen Cutting Board, Natural (Kitchen)
Quite simply, this is the best cutting board I've ever owned. It's lightweight but very sturdy, it doesn't dull my knives, it's resistant to bacteria, and it's DISHWASHER friendly - the board fits into the bottom rack of my dishwasher without a problem. Try doing that with an old wooden board! The Epicurean is also really good looking, even after months and months of hard use, and has a pleasant feel as well, not rough and scored like wood or plastic can get. I don't think I could ask for more from a board (unless it could wash itself, but that's just wishful thinking...).

Worth every penny,
By
This review is from: Epicurean Kitchen Series 15-by-11-Inch Kitchen Cutting Board, Slate (Kitchen)
At first I thought this cutting board was a bit pricey. I've paid less for wood, plastic, and bamboo boards that were larger. That being said, this is the only board I've owned that has been worth the money I spent on it. It has held up remarkably well to hard use/abuse in my kitchen. I use it multiple times daily, and while it's starting to show a little wear (I've had it for around 6 months), it's far from needing to be replaced. It has far fewer gouges/scratches than a bamboo or wood board easily 1/10th its age, which means it's far less of a bio-hazard. You can also put it in the dishwasher, which is a plus (though I use it so often that I rarely wash it in the dishwasher). I also like the slate color... that way it won't be stained by curries and other such items that eventually left my white plastic cutting board looking like someone did something unpleasant on it.

Black Fibers, too,
This review is from: Epicurean Kitchen Series 15-by-11-Inch Kitchen Cutting Board, Slate (Kitchen)
I also have black bits coming off of my board onto my food. I have had the board a couple years and put it in the dishwasher. I have since started hand washing it. I know that cutting boards need to be replaced over time, but I feel this product fell apart too easily.
