Using this cutting board is a piece of cake. Just place it on a flat surface in your kitchen and start chopping, slicing, or dicing your ingredients. Since it's heat - resistant up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, you can even use it to transfer hot items right off the stove. After use, you have two easy options for cleaning. You can simply pop it in the dishwasher, as it's dishwasher safe. Or, if you prefer hand - washing, use warm, soapy water and a sponge. To keep it in top condition, avoid using extremely sharp knives that could damage the surface. Also, don't expose it to direct flames or extremely high heat outside of its 350 - degree limit. Store it in a dry place to prevent any warping or damage. With proper use and care, this cutting board will serve you well for a long time.
