Using your Epicurean cutting board is a breeze. Just place it on a stable surface and start prepping your food. The juice groove side is great for meats and fruits that release a lot of liquid, while the flat side is perfect for chopping vegetables or making sandwiches. When it comes to cleaning, you can simply toss it in the dishwasher as it's dishwasher safe. For regular maintenance, make sure to dry it thoroughly after each use to prevent any warping. Avoid using it on extremely hot surfaces as its heat resistance is up to 350°F / 176°C. With proper care, this cutting board will serve you well for a long time.
