World Market Marble Pastry Board

Marble is naturally dense and cool to the touch, which helps prevent butter and fats in your dough from melting while you work. This temperature control is essential for achieving flaky, consistent results with pastry and pie crusts.

No, this board is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can damage the natural stone surface and dull its finish. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water.

While marble is naturally smoother and less sticky than wood or plastic, it is not a nonstick coating. You will still need a light dusting of flour when working with very sticky doughs to ensure a smooth release.

No, this board does not have non-slip feet. Because it is a heavy, solid piece of marble, it generally stays in place well on its own, but you can place a damp kitchen towel underneath it if you want extra stability while kneading.

While you can use it as a surface, we don't recommend using it as a primary cutting board. Marble is a hard material that will quickly dull your knife blades, and acidic foods like citrus or tomatoes can etch or stain the stone over time.

Because this board is crafted from natural stone, every piece features unique veining and color variations. You should expect your board to have its own distinct pattern, which is part of the beauty of using natural materials.
