For easy carving, this board anchors meat in place with a unique grid of individually cut pyramids. A perimeter well traps flavorful juices, and the reverse side of the board is perfectly flat for slicing or serving. The natural vegetable oil finish helps to seal the cutting board. Durable and beautiful, this bamboo carving board will be a welcomed addition to your home for years to come. Hand wash with a mild soap and cool water. Do not soak. Do not put in the dishwasher, microwave or refrigerator. Extreme changes in temperature will cause the material to crack over time. Dry thoroughly. Occasional use of mineral oil will help maintain appearance.
