Cuisinart PrepBoard/Counter Protector

I agree with all the other high star ratings for this prep board (set)....I love it/them. So, I'm writing this review for those who are interested in the dimensions of each of these boards, that are available. They were not given in the product descriptions, so I took a chance and ordered the set. The round board is 12 inches in diameter. The square board is 11" x 11". And the rectangular board is 9 1/2" x 15". The boards have a textured surface, and have 4 round 1/2 inch convex circles on the underside of the board, to raise the board slightly off of the counter top. I have a Progressive International Silicone red 12 Inch Diameter Microwave Mat, that I keep on my counter top, that will prevent any of these boards from slipping around.

These are my favorite cutting boards. Cuisinart makes 3 cutting/prep boards, round, square and rectangle. I bought them in a set all together, I use at least one everyday. They are dishwasher safe so clean up couldn't be easier and they will not dull your knives, absorb odors or collect bacteria. They are all slightly raised around the edge so liquid will not spill on your counter, perfect for tomatoes or anything else you are chopping. I actually just ordered a second rectangle one. You can even use them for outdoor serving, fruit, cheese, etc. Highly recommended! A+!

I ordered two of these for use in my kitchen. As the previous reviews stated these are GREAT for serving. I agree that these are perfect for serving snacks, fruit, etc. Though these should not be considered anything more then light duty cutting boards. The lip they have make it near impossible to mince safely, and they tend to slide around quite a bit since they're made of plastic and do not have any rubber/cork/etc feet. They are fine for carefully slicing fruit/tomatoes/etc. Though if you need something to do some regular knife work around the kitchen I'd recommend the plain plastic cutting boards for a quick and cheap solution.

Tip: The label that these come with state to "use a damp towel between the counter-top and PrepBoard to avoid slipping". I went down to the local hardware store and picked up a package of the rubber feet you usually see on cupboard doors and applied them to each corner of the board right on the outside of where the plastic feet are and also placed one in the middle. This works well but raises the board a little, again, this isn't safe to do heavy mincing or anything on it since it'll easily tip if you apply pressure to the edge. The good news is it's not slipping around anymore!

Years later update.

The original review still holds true. The base of the board could easily be steadied with shelf liner, or a damp towel. What ended up being the nail in the coffin for it is that after about two years of use and cleanup in the dishwasher it was warped and ended up cracking. I'd strongly suggest looking at either Epicurean cutting surfaces if you want something pretty or any NSF approved Polyethylene board. The Polyethylene boards are what you're going to find in a restaurant kitchen and come in a wide variety of thickness/sizes. There is an Epicurean model with non-slip fleet but I've grown accustomed to always using the damp towel. I've used both types and enjoy them both equally.

This is a up-date.

I Just want to say now that I have owned these for over a year,and I now do not buy dishwasher soap with Bleach in it, You can see all the knife cuts in this board! Those cuts look brown, and its a ugly sight.

I do not put these (have a few) in the dishwasher all the time, but when this type of plactic is cut into, I read it is No longer Anti-bacterial!

But still use them and I do love these boards.

When I first bought these boards from Amazon, the cost was $7.99,free shipping..I'm wondering why there now $12.99, Big differents in price!

But I still buy more of these.

This cutting board is lite and easy to handle, So glad I bought it from what a reviewer had to say..Thank you-o)

After useing this cutting board, I won't go back to the heavy wood boards or other heavy plastic boards.

I personally would not use this for a serving tray.I think it looks cheesy for that , not even for outside.

it's also kind of slippery on the top, but doesn't slip on my Granite Counters, or my cutting boards I pull out.

But as a cutting board, it's wonderful.

I also use it for taking foods out to the BBQ, and bring them off the BBQ.

This board does not have that ridge that goes around the bottom/sides like the the other boards do, so you have the whole board for cutting.

The board sloops up all around. When I'm cutting veggies it keeps the water from going over the edge.

The sides keep the food from falling off.

When you push the veggies off they go into the pot etc, with out falling over the sides.

I do not have a problem as one reviewer said about the slooping up sides getting in the way of chopping.

Maybe I use a smaller knife then she/he does!

This board is not a beauty, but it doesn't have to be, it just does what its suppose too. Makes chopping not such a chore, and easier.

((I'm only talking about the rectangle one.))
