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

A juice groove is a carved channel around the perimeter of the board designed to catch liquids from meats, fruits, or vegetables. It prevents juices from running off the board and onto your countertop, making cleanup much easier during prep.

To keep the wood from drying out, apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner every few weeks, or whenever the wood looks dull. This seals the grain, prevents moisture absorption, and keeps the board looking vibrant for years.

Absolutely. If you are concerned about stability, we recommend adding non-slip feet to your order. These rubber feet elevate the board slightly, preventing it from sliding while you chop and allowing air to circulate underneath to prevent moisture buildup.
