Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU Flexible Cutting Board, Set of 5
Customer Review: Handy Cutting Board
Summary: 5 Stars
Just what I needed, handy, use one for poultry, one for veggies, and still have extra, throw 'em in the dishwasher and ready to go again.Customer Review: Horrible cutting boards
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these hoping to have a dishwasher-safe, easy-to-store cutting board for small jobs. However, on my formica counter-tops, these things slide around so much that they are completely unusable. Luckily I didn't waste too much money on them.
There are alternate cutting mats like these which have a little silicone on the back side which prevents slippage. Those are much better.
Customer Review: I Love These
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used these great cutting sheets for years and LOVE them!! They're great cutting boards that take very little space to store... Easy to clean, I love them even more for use in the freezer. I make my own sausage and put out the patties on these sheets to quick freeze. They bend readily to sueeze onto narrow shelves. What did I ever do before I discovered them?!!Customer Review: I use these boards multiple times every day
Summary: 5 Stars
These flexible cutting boards do exactly what I purchased them to do.
1. eliminate cross contamination by making it easier to keep the meat off the vegetable board.
2. keep me from scarring my counter or wooden board.
3. make it easy to transfer cut food directly into the pan without getting my dough blade dirty (I used to use this to move chopped items from the cutting board into the pan or bowl).
These boards are reasonably thin, which is why they are flexible. I have had two sets for approximately 5 months and will be replacing them soon because they are starting to show significant scarring which I am concerned is accumulating dirt. For those that aren't as obsessive compulsive the boards would probably last twice as long. My wear patterns are from extreme use. I cook everyday and usually for all meals for my family. Since we began concentrating on eating more fruits and vegetables, these boards have gotten a serious workout and have held up better than the other flexible boards that I have tried.
I use these so often that they never make it into the dishwasher. They are easy to wash by hand, and I like to soak them in a weak bleach solution (10%) every day just to be certain they are clean. I wasn't certain these would hold up to the daily bleaching, but they have.
My only complaint is that these slide around a little on the counter. I have found that if you place them on top of a wooden cutting board they do not move around so much. It also works if you place a silicone pastry mat (Silpat) or a couple of silicone potholders under the mat.
I highly recommend these to anyone that is concerned with cross contamination.
Customer Review: I'd buy them again (and I'll have to)
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not a miracle product, but it'll do. For light applications I always remember to grab one (before I'd resist using the wood board and would sometimes use the corner of my sink, which was no good for the sink or the knives), and for heavier stuff I put one over a wood cutting board to protect it and keep it clean. If I chop chicken and veggies, I can move one to the sink (with the stuff still on it) and grab another.
I mangled one chopping ribs with a meat cleaver, and another got warped in the dishwasher (though it survived several prior washes). I'm not sure what these are made of, but they aren't that 600 degree silicon stuff, and shouldn't be treated as such (the one I mangled was already warped on the corner from a hot pan).
That said, they are cheap, and several months after I bought them my sink, counter tops, and wood cutting boards are showing no wear. That's worth buying a set of these every year or so.
