A standard chicken, rack of lamb, or large ribeye steak will fit with room to manoeuvre. A very large whole turkey or a full leg of lamb may be a tighter fit. If you regularly carve large birds for a crowd, it is worth measuring your typical joint against the 40cm dimension before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the two sides?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne side is plain and flat, suited to general chopping and prep work. The other side has a juice groove running around or across the surface to catch liquids when carving meat. Using the grooved side for carving keeps juices contained and away from the countertop edge. The plain side is better for tasks where a groove would interrupt cutting, such as slicing bread or chopping vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy does acacia wood vary in appearance between boards?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcacia is a hardwood with a naturally varied grain structure. Because each board is cut from natural timber, the grain pattern, colour tone, and any minor markings differ from piece to piece. This is confirmed by Le Creuset as a characteristic of the material rather than a defect. The variation means the board you receive will be unique, though it will share the same overall warm, mid-brown tone characteristic of acacia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan it be used as a serving board at the table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The board is described by Le Creuset as suitable for indoor and outdoor entertaining as well as kitchen use. The laser-etched logo and natural acacia finish give it a presentable appearance for bringing to the table. The juice groove side is particularly practical for serving carved meat at the table, as it contains juices during the meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs it dishwasher safe?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset does not confirm this board as dishwasher safe, and as a general rule wooden boards should not be put in a dishwasher. The high heat and prolonged water exposure in a dishwasher cycle can cause wood to split, warp, and dry out over time. Hand washing and prompt drying is the recommended approach for any wooden board, including this one. See the Care section below for full guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does \"responsibly sourced\" mean for this board?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset states that the acacia wood used in this board is responsibly sourced. The manufacturer does not provide further certification details in the product specification, so if a specific standard such as FSC certification is important to you, it is worth contacting us or Le Creuset directly to confirm before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs\" class=\"specs-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Le Creuset\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acacia wood (long-grain, natural variation in grain and colour)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-sided (plain prep surface and juice groove side)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juice groove, laser-etched Le Creuset logo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Responsibly sourced\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuarantee:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year manufacturer guarantee\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"guarantees\" class=\"trust-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #2c5530; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From Art of Living?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Reigate in 1972, we've spent over five decades helping customers choose quality cookware and kitchen tools.
