Save yourself the trouble! Don’t buy this set of cutting boards!
Gorilla Grip Cutting Board- We purchased this cutting board set because it was so well reviewed on Amazon. We greatly appreciate reviewers and put trust into making purchases largely based upon reviews.
And so with a bit of sadness and total honesty, we have to say we are completely unhappy with the Gorilla Grip cutting board set after just a couple of weeks of use at home. At home! No commercial use. Mostly cutting veggies which DID NOT entail any chopping whatsoever!
The good: This is a very nice LOOKING set of cutting boards. The white cutting prep area is contrasted by the soft pink handles. There is a trough going around the boards to catch liquids such as blood and meat juice, which is a nice feature.
The bad: The cutting surface simply performs POORLY! Please take a look at the photos. After just two weeks of occasional household use, the cutting surfaces are cut and scarred. Worse yet, these cuts in the board become harbors for staining juices and bacteria. It’s just gross! And this makes cleaning all of the cutting marks a total chore!
We are experienced “foodies.” So we are well aware of how to use a soft touch with the knife. We train to cut our food during prep, not the cutting board. We don’t chop on the board and don’t use any cleavers. Mostly paring knives and a French chef knife. The durability of this set of cutting boards is dismal! Further, we like using cutting boards as a way to serve fruit and cheese...NOPE! Not with this set of boards! Not serving food on Battlescar Gallactica!
I’m in the market for replacement cutting boards after just two weeks... still hopeful I’ll get help from the review community that steers me to a better product. And that’s why I post reviews. We are in this together!
