There is no problem with the smoothness. This material is good for cutting, but it is quite slick. It would be helpful if I could come up with a solution to this
I'm happy to give this question a +1 to the original poster. A line from the Alabama Shakes song You Ain't Alone These boards have been causing me to wonder the same thing. It may not be a cutting board, but it seems that many of the glowing Amazon reviews I found on this product are posted by people who do not use it that way. The above makes a lot of sense, in my opinion. On the other hand, my own experience has been similar to yours. I know how to work with plastic cutting boards, special ones too. Despite this, I have never operated a plastic cutting board, If you want dark colors, you can have them It is hard to find a product that scratches as deeply, pervasively, and glaringly as this product did after just one A plastic cutting board has never developed actual "gouges" on it, but this one did. The item had been recalled by the time I used it for the final time as a cutting board. If poor knife skills were to blame for my experience, I would suggest getting a new cutting board. Commenters have been expressing similar opinions in response to the voice-in Here's the idea The negative Amazon reviews for this product that mention scratching and gouging appear to be swamped by positive reviews for this product If those poor knife skills caused all those dollar store plastic cheapies that I've been using for years to look roughed up after just a few uses, then why didn't I make them look like this cutting board? A professional chef crashed at my house during the holidays and did nothing but cry and yell guy who has great You must also marvel at how easy it is to scratch, gouge, and scrape this product? Shenanigans - that's what I call them You have asked a great question, and I thank you again for lending me your perspective.
The thin area (1/2 inch) does not provide much flexibility due to it's thickness. Since it serves as a cutting board, I find it to be soft enough not to damage my knives. Moreover, over time there are some very small lines in some places on the board. Not as a result of wearing through, more as a result of slight abrasion. The thickness of this cutting board is consistent with other cutting boards with a The fabric is easy to clean. Whenever heavy commercial use is required, a bleach mixture and scrubbing should be used.
Ours has gone through multiple dishwasher cycles without any issues. However, if you will be using a large cleaver on it, you may not be able to use it as a butcher block.
Despite having a smooth surface (on both sides) without grooves, the board doesn't have a glossy yet shiny appearance like a presentation white board. There is a slight orange peel-like texture on its surface. He says this will work just fine for what you need since he is an artist. Nevertheless, I asked him whether he thought this would be a good option for you. this is There is always the option to return it! I hope this helps in any way.
Selected User Reviews For Thirteen Chefs Large Cutting Board for Chopping - Plastic, Red, 18 x 12 x 0.5 Inch - Kitchen Accessories
I don't write reviews about products before using them. I prefer to test out an item and see what it is like before making a decision. This cutting board has been the focus of my daily life for the last two weeks. I am completely satisfied with it. I find it to be perfect for my needs. My board is half an inch thick and heavy enough that I don't have to worry about it slipping around as I work on There is enough texture on the surface to prevent my knife from sliding when cutting and after two weeks the surface shows no signs of My early mornings are filled with the cutting of produce for animal diets, so the board by the end of the day is smeared with carrot juice, beet juice, and other foods that stain easily. We use a weak bleach solution, a regular sanitation procedure, to remove all the vegetable stains from this cutting board. For the small price I spent on it, I find that the board delivers very good value. Last but not least, this cutting board was produced and sold by a small business in the United States. American businesses are in need of our support at this time, so I strongly endorse this product as an excellent purchase.
I installed this board in my kitchen prep station and it was ideal. I feel that the furniture was made from quality materials and is easy to Having an old cutting board made of cheap plastic that stained easily was a problem. It was too small, so it was hard to keep everything on it. There was no need to complain about my old cutting board anymore! I loved it!.
There is a very good price on this high quality product, which is also BPA free. As it says on the label, it's not mentioned in the listing, but I still like it. Free of charge. If you are concerned about the safety of plastic, polypropylene is #5, which is supposed to be one of the safest on the market. So far, this cutting board has held up well in the dishwasher. It is thick, heavy, large, looks and feels high-quality, and it has so far lasted a long time. Unlike the major department stores, you will not find this at any major store. Several similar cutting boards are available on Amazon, but they are either polyethylene (less durable) or polypropylene, but are half as thick as this one neither is very durable. We are happy with the product so far and would recommend it to other people.
You're doing well There is a lot of information on the board. Food prep is particularly well suited to using it, such as cutting up whole chickens or storing a lot of ingredients in progress. It is also easy to clean up. My cooking class has used this surface, and I was able to quickly clean it. There is quite a bit of weight to the board. This is clearly a chunk of plastic that is thick and solid. Here are some of the bad points A much smaller board is much more likely to slide around than the much larger one. That's despite under the board having a grippy pad to hold on to. Could be attributed to the plastic grade, because it starts out I don't think there's anything bumpy about it It doesn't have liquid catchers around the edge or like a surface like that. You may find that some smaller boards have a surface that holds liquid better if your food is dripping. Also, small boards have a relatively flat surface. I'll tell you what's ugly Although it is advertised to be a commercial grade product, this board scars easily from knife cuts, unlike a commercial grade of industrial type plastic. Although the board's appearance isn't terribly important to me (and I'm not terribly interested in it), it does a good job in all other areas. As a result of the board's proneness to scarring, I am disappointed. This is unlike other small boards which often scar much less after use due to the very smooth surface of this board. After only a few days of use (I use a chef's knife often during food preparation) I already see the scars from my cutting. In summary The board isn't going to be pretty after a few days, but I expect it to last for a long time (provided the surface doesn't begin to shed within a week or two). The board is large and heavy (it looks like someone hit it with a wood rasp), and it's a plus that it's been hit with the wood rasp.
The cutting board cuts so well that I cannot describe how well it works. The cutting board does its job well! If it were a knife, it probably wouldn't cut well at all, but since it is a cutting board, it works A knife is used to cut on it. You lay it on a relatively flat surface and then use it to cut stuff. Make sure you clean up after you're done. It's that simple. A perfect cutting board. Also, it asked about the heat resistance, so I popped it into my oven on 400 degrees and it worked fabulously. I was joking. This is not the right thing to do. To use this, place it on a counter or over a sink, and neither of those places should be hot enough to melt it. There is no way to be Satan or an elemental fire unless you are. That's the case.
As many homeowners do, my husband didn't use it for cutting. He used it as a pedal board, so he could use his effects on it. Pedalboards, which are used for playing guitar or bass, can be quite expensive. In the meantime, this cutting board will serve as a good stand-in until we can afford a real pedalboard. In order to keep the board in place, we added "feet" to the bottom, which are actually adhesive door knob bumpers. To attach the pedals, I bought some adhesive velcro. This alternative works like a charm for keeping guitar pedals organized and close at hand. I could not be happier with the way it looks and how durable it is.
After a minimal amount of usage, I found that bits of whatever material is in this board were falling off to fall into my food. I don't think this manufacturer has changed its board material. I have a lot of junk and clutter It is useless. You should be careful when buying.
In addition to being safe to use for food prep, this product arrived beyond that. There was no need to recycle it. Throw it in the trash instead I sold it. I find it shocking how this was able to get past a human looking at it.
