No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive moisture from a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split. Hand wash only with mild soap and water, then dry immediately.

Yes, the integrated finger grip cutouts are designed to provide a secure hold, making it easy to lift the board off your counter or transport chopped ingredients to the stove.

Yes, Northern Hard Rock Maple is a dense, non-porous wood that is safe for food preparation. However, because wood is a natural material, it is best practice to dedicate one side of the reversible board to raw meats and the other to produce to avoid cross-contamination.
