John Boos Chop-N-Slice Series Cutting Board

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive moisture from a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp, crack, or split. We recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then drying it immediately.

This specific model does not feature non-slip feet or a juice groove. It is designed with a flat, edge-grain surface that is reversible in function, though it is intended to be used on one side.

To keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking, you should apply a food-safe mineral oil or John Boos Mystery Oil every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on how often you use it. If the wood starts to look dry or dull, it is time for another treatment.

Edge-grain construction uses strips of wood glued together so the side grain is facing up. This provides a durable, sturdy surface that is gentle on knife blades, helping to keep them sharper for longer compared to plastic or glass boards.

Yes, it arrives pre-treated with a protective cream, so it is ready for use immediately. However, it is still a good idea to maintain a regular oiling schedule to ensure its longevity.
