Before buying these cutting boards (I bought four), I broke out the measuring tape and compared the sizes of my kitchen to the sizes of various boards. These solid-color Oneida cutting boards were by far the best match. They measure 16-3/8" x 9-3/4" and are truly rectangular. At this dimension, they not only fit anywhere on the bottom rack of my dishwasher, but they also fit two-deep in a 20" drawer, cabinet or pantry. There is a long rubber bumper strip at the top and bottom ends that provides good grip against the counter.
Much better than my old 16x12 cutting board, which never fit quite right in the dishwasher -it had to go up against the edges to clear the spinning fan blade. I'm much happier with these slightly smaller ones; I can use several in the course of prep and be able to wash them all at the end.these cutting boards are very sturdy and clean up well in the sink or dishwasher. thinking of getting one or two more...I replaced a large cutting board that we've had for maybe 5 years. The obvious question I asked when purchasing was whether to get a wood or plastic board. There are mixed opinions on this issue but the health inspectors stance is that plastic is what should be used, so this confirmed my choice.
I love this board but one thing to consider when you are looking at dimensions is you are losing some space because of the handles on either end. This is similar in overall size to my last cutting board but the usable cutting space is considerably less. Besides the usable space, it seems to be a well made durable, product that should serve well. I just wish I had gotten the same type of board but maybe a little bigger (if they make it).buy you wont regret it.. easy to clean, veggies chops well on it.. and it doesnt scrap the board. seems like it will last for years..I love these boards; I have them in several colors. Once you get in the habit of having color coded boards around it is easy to routinely prepare foods with little concern of board cross contamination. Yellow-Poultry, Red-Meats, Green-Vegetables, Blue-Fish, and I use Black for cooked foods. I use 2 or 3 of these boards every day, easy to clean, they don't move around on the counter top, and stack well for storage. Better quality than any NSF boards I've seen. They do score fairly easily with sharp knives, but when you use certain colors for certain foods that isn't as much of a concern, since it doesn't really effect the sanitary integrity of the board.
