JK Adams Edge Grain Maple Board

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. High heat and excessive moisture will cause the wood to warp or crack, so you should hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately.

This model does not feature a juice groove. It is designed with a flat, edge-grain surface to maximize the usable cutting area, which is ideal for heavy-duty prep work like chopping vegetables or carving large roasts.

To keep the maple in top condition, apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax finish regularly, especially if the wood begins to look dry or dull. This prevents the board from cracking and helps maintain its natural moisture resistance.

At 17 pounds, this board is substantial enough to stay firmly in place during most cutting tasks. However, if you find it shifting on a slick countertop, placing a damp kitchen towel or a silicone mat underneath will provide extra stability.

Yes, the board is fully reversible. Using both sides helps the board wear evenly over time, and you can dedicate one side for produce and the other for meats to keep your prep organized.

Yes, edge-grain maple is an excellent choice for knife maintenance. It is firm enough to provide a stable cutting surface but soft enough to absorb the impact of your blade, which helps keep your knives sharper for longer compared to glass or plastic boards.
