Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips 10-1/2-by-14.5-Inch Utility Cutting Board, Red Edge
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: Worth getting several...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used many wooden cutting boards through the years and had to get rid of many because of mold and stains. I never liked plastic boards because I thought they would ruin my knives, and some would have because of the cheap material used. However, this cutting board is a joy to use: the size is perfect for the dishwasher, lightweight enough to be picked up with one hand and transfer food to the pan, very steady and secure on the counter, and is a dream to clean. Does it get scratched from the blades? Yes, so did my wooden cutting boards, but now I don't have to work so hard in cleaning them. I got 2 (black & red) and also a prep board...prefect for slicing a tomato or a lemon. Best value for the price!Customer Review: Good until it isn't

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.Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because we only had one polypropylene cutting board and we needed another one. What makes this OXO cutting board stand out from the rest is the red, rubberized edges, with little feet. Since the red edges are rubberized this prevents the cutting board from sliding across the counter during use. Our cutting boards are always out on the counter behind the knife block. I find myself reaching for this one rather than the older all the time. Of course, OXO makes good and very usable products. This one is no different.Customer Review: Great Cutting Board
Summary: 5 Stars
We have several cutting boards made of wood, and some of plastic, but honestly this is the nicest we own. The rubber end and the indents on both ends to help keep your counter clean really make this a stand out. I know it sounds funny, but really the rubber ends keep the cutting board from moving even when cutting a heavy roast, and the catches at each end keeps the juices from what ever your cutting from ending up on your counter top.
A great buy we love ours.
