Previous Comment Misleading

The previous comment about Epicurean is misleading. I have an Epicurean board at home and love it. The Preserve Cutting Board may be similar, but when I looked at it, it too is made of phenolic resin. When all bonded though, phenolic resin isn't as scary as one might think. I'm not sure about Preserve, but I know Epicurean is backed by the National Sanitary Foundation, which is why I trust it.

Like Epicurean but recycled and non-toxic!

The new Preserve cutting board is made from Paperstone, a combination of pressed 100% post-consumer recycled paper and non-petroleum-based resins. It works great, much like the famed Epicurean cutting surfaces. The difference is that Epicurean is made from new paper fiber (albeit from sustainably harvested forests) and phenolic resin, which is a combo of phenol and formaldehyde. Scary.

I purchased my cutting boards, a small and a large one, at the San Francisco Green Festival last weekend, but soon they will be available at Whole Foods stores.
