Great boards, they will warp in the dishwasher over time
I agree with the other reviewer. I have four boards that I use for color coding (red for meat, yellow for poultry, green for produce, blue for fish…) My yellow one warped over time in the dishwasher. To be fair, I’ve had the board for more than a year and it gets a lot of use. But be advised that regular dishwasher use can damage the boards, requiring replacement. I’m going to start handwashing mine as a general rule, and putting them in the dishwasher only when they get thoroughly messy and I think they need to be sterilized.
Not a good product
I bought 3 of these boards, in different sizes, about 4 months ago. I have since thrown out 2 of them and replaced them with equivalent size bamboo boards that are more expensive but so much more worth the price. I had two essential problems with the gripper boards. First, when I washed them in the dishwasher, they warped and no longer sat flat on the counter. The warping wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t use them, but still it was a disappointment, especially since I was under the impression that these were dishwasher safe. The second problem, by far the worst, was that the boards are soft and my sharp knive cut into them. Not only did I have cuts, but the cuts retained traces of the foods I cut even after I put them through the dishwasher — in one case twice. Since I do a lot of vegetables, there were nasty green streaks retained in the boards after only a few months of use. I certainly didn’t trust that the board I used to cut chicken was sanitary even after it went through the dishwasher. I still have the small bar board, but I figure this has lasted longer because I only use it for cutting lemon and limes. The bigger boards just had to go! A waste of money. The bamboo boards I replaced them with are a joy to use and only require a quick swipe with a soapy sponge to clean.
warp in dishwasher
Mine warped after a few runs through the dishwasher. I great idea, but bad execution. I loved it while it wasn’t warped. Now, I use cheap white plastic cutting boards from a restaurant supply store, with a damp dish towel underneath to prevent slippage. These cheapo restaurant supply store cutting boards have never warped in my dishwasher, and cost me a lot less.
