Strong, Versatile Boards for High Volume Cutting & Serving
In the high-volume resort and lodging foodservice segment, durability and versatility are crucial with key accessories such as cutting boards. Epicurean cutting boards aren’t just accessories; they’re tools for safer, faster, and more consistent foodservice operations. From reducing labor and replacement costs to helping kitchens stay compliant and portion smart, these boards deliver measurable value in every shift.
Epicurean cutting boards are designed to withstand the demands of high-volume kitchens while enhancing food safety. Their dense, non-porous surface will not trap food particles, meaning fewer places for bacteria to hide. And unlike wood, Epicurean boards are fully dishwasher safe, cutting down on manual washing labor and improving sanitation reliability.
Epicurean PuzzleBoard® systems can be custom-made for new prep areas, or they can replace existing, worn-out, one-piece high density polyethylene boards.
In the past, the primary cutting board material options of wood and plastic had different challenges. Most wood cutting boards contain glue, are not dishwasher safe, and require maintenance. Plastic (such as high-density polyethylene and polypropylene) cutting boards need constant replacement, absorb food stains and smells, and bacteria grow within cuts and gouges.
Over two decades ago, Epicurean changed the landscape by offering cutting boards made from paper composite material, which combines the natural look and feel of wood with the dishwasher safe appeal of plastic.
Ideal for busy commercial kitchens, these boards are NSF Certified, can withstand heat up to 350 degrees F and provide the required knife safe performance. In addition, the paper composite material is naturally antimicrobial, so it requires no further additives or treatments.
PuzzleBoard®s are designed to break down and fit into dishwashers, then fit back together to create a surface large enough for commercial prep lines.
Epicurean cutting boards provide an ideal combination of durability and aesthetic appeal, making them perfect for high-visibility kitchens and open prep areas. Their sleek, contemporary appearance complements any culinary environment, enhancing the visual experience for customers watching chefs at work.
Epicurean offers boards in a range of HACCP color-coded options, helping operators clearly separate tasks (e.g., meat, poultry, produce, allergens) to meet regulatory and in-house safet standards. These options simplify compliance and reduce risk across prep stations.
Additionally, Epicurean’s custom capabilities allow operators to integrate pre-measured portion boxes or cut guides directly into the surface. This promotes consistent portioning, reduces food waste, and helps control plate costs whether it’s prepping proteins or assembling flatbreads.
