Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set
Customer Review: You Can Never Have Enough Cutting Boards
Summary: 5 Stars
There comes a time in every cook's life that they realize that it would be easier to have multiple cutting boards instead of taking the time to clean and re-clean a single board multiple times just to make one meal. This is a nice little collection. They all fit in the dishwasher, and even the smallest isn't so small that it has no utility. The bundle also was priced less than I found similar sized boards for in local stores.
They may not last me the rest of my life, but they are sturdy enough that I've already got more use than I paid for, and they've still got plenty of use left in them.
You're not going to get your picture in Better Homes and Kitchens magazine for having these in your kitchen. They make no fashion statement at all. But they do have plenty of utility, and isn't that what you're interested in when you need to chop, slice or dice something?
Customer Review: Don't expect high quality...
Summary: 3 Stars
These are usable, but this is not a great set of boards. The plastic is fully opaque (not the tougher slightly-translucent plastic you see in some boards). They are very thin, and have some minor manufacturing defects (not completely flat, there are bits of plastic still on the seams where they came out of the mold, a few odd gouges probably also from the manufacturing process). On the plus side, the three sizes are handy - the large is useful without being unwieldy, the small is just right for little jobs, and the medium is a good all-purpose size - and you're not going to beat the price (particularly as part of an order with Amazon's Super Saver shipping). For quality they'd get two stars; the extra star is for good value for the money.
Customer Review: Great Price - Good for Other Uses
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't buy these to use them as cutting boards. I bought this to use them as folding boards for my sweaters. I use the larger one for adult clothing, the middle size for my toddlers clothing and I put the smallest one in the pantry to use as an actual cutting board.
If you want your folded clothes to look like they do at the department stores, you'll need a folding board and they cost about $25. for one - it is the same thing as the largest cutting board in this set. Just lay your sweater out flat (face down), put the board on the garment, fold sides, slip board out, and fold in half - Wallah - that's how they do it at department stores and this is why all the closets on TV shows look so great.
Customer Review: Servicable set of cutting boards
Summary: 4 Stars
This set of three cutting boards comes in very handy, whether slicing a sandwich or preparing a feast. I am happy to have smaller boards right at hand (they are very easy to store) when I don't want or need to pull out my two foot or larger boards. They have a nice texture to them, which helps prevent slipping on the counter and helps to hold the items I am cutting. Easily wash up by hand, or even better, wash in the dishwasher. They do show cut marks when I use my sharpest or heaviest knives, but with a good washing, food is not trapped in the cuts. If you can have fun with cutting boards (!), stack the boards atop each other, and line up the foods to be cut. Makes me feel more organized than I really am!Customer Review: Disappointing quality.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a good, very useful type of cutting board. The sizes provided are handy. However, in the set I received, the largest board was substantially defective: the color is irregular in places, and the thickness in inconsistent. The board is thicker near the edges than it is in the middle, which is a serious flaw since the knife needs to contact the board throughout the cut.I've owned several cutting boards, and never had one with a defect. It's an extremely simple product, and almost all types are flawless. To receive one with two separate, easily noticeable flaws is very disappointing. I cannot recommend this product.
