If you're gearing up for a culinary adventure, the OXO Good Grips Plastic Utility Cutting Board is an essential tool that can handle your ambitious meal prep. Measuring at 10.39 inches x 14.78 inches, this cutting board offers ample space for chopping, slicing, and dicing all your ingredients without the hassle of running out of room. Its non-porous construction locks out water and odors, ensuring a clean and fresh surface every time you cook. The double-sided design allows you to use one side for meat and the other for vegetables, keeping flavors separate and minimizing cross-contamination.
I love my Everyday Oxo cutting board! I have absolutely no issues with it. I have loved the lightness and surface and ability to clean it with a brush and time after time, trusting it to cling on its rubber feet and hold its place. Never fails! BUT...unless you have a very small workspace, I suggest the Utility board. They are lightweight and excellent tools. The set of two sizes is a great buy.
Nicely made cutting board that can be used for all of your cooking needs. I use it for cutting fruits, vegetables and meat and fish and it works perfectly. Cleanup is easy - if using it for meat or fish, I just put it in the dishwasher. If using it for vegetables / fruit, a simple rinse under the tap suffices.There is no odor and the board is light enough to work as a "storage" surface when cooking as I can just dump the items that are cut straight into the cooking pot. I use both sides of the cutting board and yes, one can see the cut marks made by the knife but that is expected. It has withstood the multiple uses in the dishwasher and there is no warping of any kind. I expect it to last for years as it is well made and is inexpensive enough as a daily user. I normally place it on a towel as I have granite counter tops and this helps keep it in place when in use.
I ordered two of these 2 1/2 months ago, and have waited to review them to see whether they would stain, like the ones they replaced. They're great on all counts. Their surface area is small but large enough to cut fruit, small vegetables, maybe a chicken thigh, etc. (I also have the larger version which is excellent for large quantities of items to be cut.) Their rubber feet keep them from slipping whichever side you use. One side has a gutter in case you're cutting juicy tomatoes; their short ends are beveled on both sides so you can easily pick them up off the counter (the two ends are beveled in different directions so they can be picked up whichever side you're using. The cutting surface works well. One reviewer complained that the knife left cut marks, but these are virtually invisible and show that the surface is soft enough not to dull your knife. Just clean well. And so far they haven't stained! Extremely well-designed and a great asset. I use both of mine multiple times daily.
I like the color and size of this cutting board. And, I like that it has two sides, one with a channel around the outside edge to catch juices and one side without the channel. It's a reasonable option if you want to cut down on weight or storage space, like in an RV where every pound of weight counts. This is better than a wood cutting board in that regard.But, the problem I have with this model is that it will sag in the middle over time with use. It has built in rubber feet that elevate the cutting board from your counter top, which is good for allowing any moisture that happens to get underneath it to dry. But, over time, it will sag and the underside of the cutting board will make contact with your counter top.So, if your cutting board is wet underneath - like after you just washed it - and it's sagging, you get a wet spot that doesn't dry, but it will develop a sour smell and/or start getting a spot of mold underneath it that you can see through the translucent material.Occasionally, switching which side of the cutting board you're using can help to mitigate this problem somewhat. But, then, you don't have the benefit of that run-off channel that catches juices all the time. I would prefer that the run-off channel be on both sides.Otherwise, it is a reasonable alternative to a heavy duty wooden cutting board.
This thing is solid. Good for a two person household, more than enough for one person. I would not buy this if you are in need of a carving board as the juice channel is too small. I think it would leak if you are cutting a very juicy steak or who chicken. Makes for a great secondary board to prep raw meats though!It has enough room to comfortably butterfly and then pound two chicken breasts. The Channel for liquid is small but I am not using this as a carving board as I have a Boos Block as my main board. I keep my main board on bamboo risers and this is thin/light enough to fit underneath and to get out with no issues.I flip it over and use the back to cut veggies. It is very stable when cutting on either side.This cleans very well. Fits very easy into my modestly sized sink. It also fits my older dish washer as well, which is the main reason I went for this size. To make it easier to do a deep sanitizing clean every now and then.I do sometimes wish I had just a bit more room, but the next size up would be too big for my dish washer and since I am using this mostly for cutting raw meat, It was more important to me that it fit in the dish washer.
