Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Architec The Gripper 11-by-14-Inch Non-Slip Cutting Board, White/Graphite
Customer Review: Not a good product
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Customer Review: Cutting Board
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this because it was highly recommended in Cook's Illustrated. The recommendation is a valid one - we really like this product. Customer Review: Great board!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this board and I plan on getting a few more in different colors, one for meat, one for veggies, etc. It definitely does stay stationary on the counter while using it too. I have a large wood cutting board I use a lot, but these are nice in that they're very portable. Just pick one up, move it over near the sink or stove, etc., -- it's great! I recommend it.Customer Review: warp in dishwasher
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: A cut that's a little too deep
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been searching for a good cutting board for a while and I own 3 other boards (wood, glass and plastic). I was hoping that I would use this only for cutting raw meat, but after couple uses, the board was covered with rough cuts marks. I don't think it will affect the functionality but I am concerned with the plastic residue that might end up in my food. I guess I just have to wash the meat after I finish cutting it. A little disappointed!
