Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips 10-1/2-by-15-Inch Utility Cutting Board, Blue EdgeCustomer Review: They do ok... Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the boards based on their size. I wanted something I could toss in my dishwasher and then just throw into my kitchen drawer. And they do an acceptable job on that.
But, they do have a few draw backs. The little mote thats supposed to catch liquids just isn't big enough to do anything useful. While the board is pretty good and not slipping thanks to it's 4 feet on the corners. It's also not sturdy enough to keep the board from bending on cutting. And you simply can not use this cutting board if you're using a meat cleaver. The flex in the board doesn't help with the hard cuts and anything too hard will cut right through your meat and the cutting board. One good cleaver hit, caused a cut, bending the board, then cause a crack along the cut, which is now a huge germ trap.
Also this size really isn't that useful for cutting unless you clear the board constantly. There is absolutely no way buying this board in the larger available size would withstand any sort of cutting without constant flexing. But this can handle light use for those who do not cook much, which used to be me. But now that I'm in the kitchen much more, I'll be looking for a larger wooden cutting board.
UPDATE:
Not exactly sure what happened. Maybe from the wear of use or the dishwasher, but the grip of the boards are gone. The board slips and moves around during cutting. And the symptom is much worse if it's even slightly wet. Changing from 3 stars to 2 stars.
