Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Utility Cutting Board ? Red
Customer Review: Soft plastic, gouges easily and warps in dishwasher
Summary: 3 Stars
As a long-time fan of all things Oxo, I must say I'm pretty disappointed with this product. The plastic is very soft. What does this mean? Well, for anyone who knows their way around a kitchen will tell you, it means this: If you have sharp knives like my Victorinox Forschner and Global chef knives you will easily slice gouges into the plastic with no effort at all. Slicing tomatoes (which means very little pressure on the blade) caused deep gouges that can easily trap bacteria.
Soft plastic also means that when you wash it in the dishwasher with the heating element for the water and heated dryer turned off, it will still warp.
Pros? The rubber coated exterior edge and rubber nub feet work really well by holding the board in place. Out of wood, plastic, glass (ugh!) and acrylic, acrylic has been my favorite cutting surface and I will get another one to replace this one ASAP.
Customer Review: Good until it isn't
Summary: 3 Stars
We've had this cutting board for about 1.5 years. At first I really liked it as it does have all the great qualities that others have mentioned. However, knife use over time has caused the board to be cut up to the point that it is coming off in small pieces. I have another plastic board that is older and worn/cut from knives but is not coming off in pieces like this one. We use it maybe once or twice a week so I don't know if you would consider that really heavy use, but I don't want to eat plastic pieces in my food. I'm having to throw it away and buy a new cutting board now. It was nice while it lasted but don't expect to invest in it and have it last forever.
