Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tom Douglas by Pinzon Epicurean 14-by-17-Inch Silicone-Tipped Cutting Board

Customer Review: They invented a "better" cutting board!
Summary: 5 Stars

Cutting boards just made a big step into the 21st century.

My expectations were exceeded by this cutting board. I have never been satisfied with my cutting board which is a item that I use every day that I am cooking in my kitchen.

Keeping a wood board sanitary was always a challenge. The plastic cutting sheets were simply too flimsy and if one tried to cut items speedily then what you cut was flying all over the place because of recoil. And both the wood and the plastic cutting sheets tended to scratch deeply which was simply another cleaning and sanitation issue.

Given the reservation that I have just stated, this board is near perfection and is dream to use in comparison.

First of all, this is a cutting board, not a carving board. If I were carving a turkey, a baked ham, or a roast beef, I would use a carving board which I own that has a drip ring cut in it for collecting juices.

But for cutting everyday vegetables, this works great.

It has the substance of wood. It has the silicon corners which keeps it from sliding. It can be easily stored, although I leave my board on my countertop. It is not as attractive or sexy as many wood boards, but in my kitchen, form and function trump decorative value.

A quality knife that holds its edge is essential to food preparation, but I did not realize what a difference a cutting board like this can make to my food preparation. I am using my knife very effectively but I am working much more efficiently because of time saved in cleaning and sanitation.

I have had the product for over a month. There is some light scratching visible on the board but nothing like the scratches which would appear on the other substances that I have used.

Here is how I clean my board. I keep an electric hot water kettle by my sink. I put a bit of dishwater liquid on a paper towel. I pour near boiling water on the board into my sink. I thoroughly wipe with the soapy paper towel, then rinse with more near boiling water. I dry with cloth towel. That takes no more than thirty seconds.

I know the board can be put in the dishwasher but I have not seen the benefit to doing so when it cleans that easily.

One last note, the board tends to warp a bit. I know this because it bows and the board tends to slide around a bit. The solution to this is turning the board over. I have used both sides of the board and I am very, very pleased with this board. My cooking experiences in my kitchen are more satisfying and pleasurable because of this board. I highly recommend it.
