Customer Reviews
Printed design comes off!
I've had these mats for about 9 months and their colored designs are rubbing off - they leave traces of silicone all over my counter.
Peeling designs
These work well as silicone cutting boards, they're thicker than the normal flexible cutting boards which is nice, though they don't fold over as much when you try to use them to funnel the food into a bowl/pan.
My biggest complaint is that I have only used them about a dozen times now and the color designs that are "painted" on the back of the boards are starting to rub off. If they are left leaning against or hanging on a wall the wall get colored streaks from the colored designs rubbing off. It also rubs off on the other boards making you have to make sure it isn't on the cutting surface of the board before you use them.
Functional for Basic Chopping But Definitely Below Expectations Over Time
The concept behind these bendable cutting boards is a solid one. Each of the four provided is targeted for a specific food type - meat, poultry, fish and vegetables. They are even color-coded and emblazoned with an appropriate icon so that you make no mistake as to which board you should be using. I've been using mine for the past six months, and I am currently mixed on whether my purchase was worthwhile. On the upside is the portability of the boards, especially for quick chopping jobs. It also minimizes the chances of cross-contamination - easily the best benefit - but only if you are strict about following the color codes. They are also dishwasher-safe from my experience.
Flaws, however, have emerged. First, the color designs on the board show the wear-and-tear of the knives and continue to rub off over time. Second, the so-called "non-skid" feature is not universal. Despite the silicone coating, the board can slide freely on my countertop on occasion and alternatively, can epoxy itself if there is excessive moisture. Third, the silicone has left a sticky residue on the back, which I'm noticing is becoming permanent. Fourth, while the boards have a nice, substantial thickness, the key drawback is that they do not bend as easily as others if you need to pour any chopped food into a mixing bowl. Bottom line, I still use them frequently for kitchen prep, although now as a complement to the more substantial cutting boards I already own.
