I wasted too much of my life using cheap cutting boards that warp and/or slide all over the place. These are sturdy and stay rock-solid anchored to your kitchen counter thanks to the rubber feet on both sides. I would call these an awesome gift idea. Spot somebody using crap cutting boards and don't know what else to get them? Get them some of these. Boring as heck, I know! If they love to cook, they'll probably call you up in a week and thank you for upgrading their life in a very small way every single day.

Truly a cut above -- but twice as good as a standard board?

I purchased the cutting and carving board to replace old cheap nylon cutting board. Being the cook of the house, I got tired of having to use a wet kitchen towel under my boards to keep them from skidding across the counter. First impressions of the cutting board is that it's remarkably sturdy and light, with a nearly seamless integration of the rubber bumpers, which double as feet to keep the board in place. Admittedly, I own a smaller version of the same design, and it has held up well to 5 years of regular use and abuse at the hands of my Wusthof Classic knives, all while keeping them protected and in good shape. One difference I noticed with the larger board is that it seems to have less tolerance on wet or uneven surfaces. This hasn't caused too many issues, but reinforced the habit of making sure my counters are dry before using. Ultimately, given the same budget, I'd much prefer to have one of these boards than two of a lesser quality.

Great cutting board!

It's an excellent size and thickness. The non-skid sides grip the counter enough so that the board does not slide while cutting, but not so much that it's difficult to move around the counter. It's also properly firm--soft enough to keep from dulling a blade but firm enough for easy, clean cuts. I LOVE that it has no holes (i.e., "handles") for food to fall through or into. Those dadgum holes are one of those "features" that sounds good to someone that doesn't cook much but that serve only to reduce the usable cutting surface. OXO got it right by tapering the non-skid sides, so that it is very easy to lift. The "juice groove" is not very deep, but it's deep enough to catch small amounts. It should work for something small, but not much more than that. However, if you want a deeper groove, then you need a thicker board. In other words, you need a proper carving board. Cutting boards and carving boards are not the same, and trying to make a product that serves both purposes means that you'll have a product that isn't particularly good at either. This is an excellent cutting board. If you need an excellent carving board, then get a good, large, deep carving board.

Great little board

I love these little boards. Sometimes you just want to cut something small or just a few of (bar especially). The smaller boards are quicker to clean. This is thick and sturdy. It doesn't smack the counter when you cut on it so the noise level is kept down.

I was using a pressed bamboo cutting board, I ...

I was using a pressed bamboo cutting board, I tend to prefer natural recyclable/compostable materials, but I opted for this one for sanitary reasons. This cutting board is much easier to keep clean and I can use it for mix types of foods without worry about cross contamination. I don't expect to throw this out any time soon, so it's a fair trade off.

Five year assessment: the best cutting board for serious chefs

I've purchased five of Oxo's Good Grips cutting boards (three large, two small) over a period of five years and used them intensively. OXO Good Grips Cutting and Carving Board is the best cutting board that is commonly available for casual and serious chefs. ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER CUTTING BOARDS * Size. If you're a serious chef cooking from scratch, you'll appreciate a large surface that you can use to work on a lot of ingredients at once. This translates to speed and efficiency. If you're a casual chef, or working with children, you will appreciate how the large surface of this cutting board catches the mess, leaving little or no clean-up on your countertops. * Format. As others have noted, this cutting board lacks the typical "carrying handle" you'd find on most cutting boards. This is a huge advantage. Having a hole in your cutting board serves little purpose. A hole allows food to fall through to the countertop, increasing waste and mess. A hole is harder to clean properly, and represents a food safety risk. A hole in your cutting board decreases your efficiency and working area. All hail Oxo for *not* putting a hole in their cutting board. * Effective liquid control. This cutting board is two-sided: one side is perfectly flat, while the other has a smoothly rounded gutter for liquids. Due to the size of the cutting board, this gutter can collect a lot of liquid without overflowing. This is very helpful when, say, I'm cutting up a whole chicken. Liquids which represent a food safety danger are collected completely in the gutter, and can easily be washed off with soap. My countertop stays neater, too. * The right material. I admit that wooden cutting boards are pretty, but they are gross. For food safety reasons, you really want a seamless cutting board that can be sterilized with hot water, soap, and bleach if necessary. It's hard to know when you've gotten a wooden cutting board really clean. This cutting board will handle whatever scalding water or cleaning agent you want to throw at it. * Non-slip. The rubberized black border on the Oxo Good Grips Cutting and Carving Board effectively holds it in place on a countertop. You're free to bust out those 7337 (elite) knife skills without fear of your work surface slipping. * Durable. One of my Oxo cutting boards has lasted through five years of use and abuse. There's really only one way to wreck this cutting board beyond repair (see "suggestions" below) SUGGESTIONS * Buy two of these cutting boards if you enjoy cooking, or if you are learning to cook. It is a huge advantage to have an abundance of work space, and your cleanup will go much faster as very little food or scrap will fall on the floor. * In most kitchens, even small apartment kitchens, a good storage place for Oxo's large cutting boards is behind the spout on the kitchen sink -- I keep two there, and they lean lightly against the wall. * The large-sized version of this cutting board will fit in a dishwasher, at the cost of slight warping over time if the board is subjected to high heat. I prefer to wash these by hand: in a clean sink, it only takes 10-20 seconds to wash both sides with soap using Oxo's nylon-bristled steel dish brush. * Oxo's cutting board is nearly indestructible, especially if hand-washed. The only way I've found to kill it is to chop food with excessive force using an extremely heavy cleaver. If you hit it hard enough with a sharp cleaver, the board will eventually crack. Short of this sort of extreme abuse, Oxo's cutting and carving board should serve you well for a long, long time. note: I was *not* solicited to write this review, and I bought this product with my own money. I received no compensation for this review and indeed I have no idea who the seller might be. I pride myself on writing unbiased reviews.

Great cutting board

Great cutting board. Easy to clean, has the black rubbery sides for easy grip when cleaning or moving. Also has little "feet" so that it doesn't sit flush on your counter, making it easier to pick up and move around. Haven't been terribly careful with the surface so far and I can confidently say that you don't even see many marks on it from aggressive knife work. There is like a little trough (for lack of a better word) around one of the sides that works great to prevent meat juices from running off onto the counter top. Would recommend to anyone who's looking for a nice decent cutting board.

Love it

It can be pretty difficult trying to find something of this size without it being way too big for a counter top. My old cutting board was probably a decade old when I decided to replace it. I liked its size and it was a permanent fixture on the counter where a majority of the prep/activity happened in the kitchen. Could not even find anything with the exact same measurements. However, this one did the trick. I also like the grip edges. It helps elevate it just a tiny bit to keep air flow underneath as well as it won't trap moisture underneath as my old one did.

Great Cutting Board

This cutting board is the perfect size for my somewhat small kitchen. The material doesn't dull my knives and doesn't get marked up too easily. It stays put on the counter due to the rubber side grips and is easy to just put in the dishwasher after use. I like that both sides are usable for cutting as well so I can cut certain foods like meat only on one side.

Best plastic cutting board I've used

First time I've owned a cutting board this large and aside from it being unwieldy to clean (more on this below), I don't think I can go back to a smaller board for full dinner prep. Being able to slice an ingredient and tuck it into the corner while still having plenty of room to chop up others is great and saves me having to use extra plates/dishes just to hold prepped food before I start cooking. The rubber edges do an excellent job of holding the board in place on the counter, removing the need to put something grippy underneath to keep from sliding around. The other feature I love is that it has the small reservoir around the edge of one side, but is completely flush edge-to-edge on the other, which allows this to be used both as a cutting board as well as a carving board for smaller roasts/chicken that aren't TOO juicy. My only complaint is that it is too large to fit in my dishwasher and my kitchen sink is a two-bay with neither bay being very wide nor deep, forcing me to get creative with angles and the faucet spray gun. I usually end up with some soapy splashes on the surrounding counter and walls. This isn't really the fault of the board as the dimensions are clearly stated, but it's something to bear in mind if you are in a galley kitchen, for example, and are working with extremely limited space. Also worth keeping in mind where you can and can't store it between uses. I haven't had it long enough to comment on how well the plastic holds up against my knife, and I can't really tell you if it warps or not due to not being able to put it in my dishwasher.
