Santa made my wife a very happy woman!

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!

Simply The Finest Cutting Boards

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.

Leggero, ma resistentissimo, non si deteriora nel tempo ed è molto pratico.

E' un tagliere leggero, ma resistentissimo. Per distrazione è stato appoggiato sul fornello acceso ma non ha preso fuoco, si è rovinata un po' la parte a contatto con la fiamma, ma l'altra è rimasta integra. E' da almeno 15 anni che lo utilizzo e non ha subito nessun decadimento. Adesso ne ho comprato uno nuovo per sostituirlo con quello bruciato. Apparentemente ha un costo un po' alto, ma data la praticità (non assorbe olio e si pulisce facilmente) vale il suo prezzo. Lo consiglio, è un prodotto buonissimo.

Taglieri Epicurean

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.
