Customer Reviews: All Style - No FunctionSeptember 1, 2009 Alien in NY(Back in UK) 143 out of 144 found this review helpful
I was given these as a present and they were a good looking addition to the kitchen. However I already had two chopping boards and didn't really 'need' these so left them purely as decoration. However, having guests over at the weekend I had used my two Ikea chopping boards (£3.50 about 4 years back) so used these to fillet some steak and chop up some veg for the BBQ. Now I used my Global knives on these- the a sharp fillet knife for the steak and a veg chopper for the veg. Both knives are about 15 years old but still sharp although the veg knife could do with a tune up. On a marble worktop you often have to put a cloth under a board to stop it slipping around but these ever slipped around on the cloth.
After washing the boards I was disgusted to see the amount of grooves and lines cut into the surface of the boards. It looks like they are about as old as the knives. I noticed a customer of mine had some in her Kitchen when I visited her today and I asked if she was pleased with them. She pulled out three of the boards and they were all suffering from what looked like excessive wear even thought they are only two months old and only used occasionally as she only cooks at weekends. Also she pointed out that the holder had cracked around the base. I looked at mine again and mine has two.
All in all, I would say that this is a good design poorly executed by the choice of materials used. I will certainly not be buying anymore Joseph Joseph products nor using these boards except for when my cheap Ikea ones have ben used. Save yourelf the cash and buy cheap boards - they will last longer and not harbor the germs in the cuts like these ones have

this item looks good,but not very practicle.
the chopping boards are to small and move around when cutting
but looks great on the work top
Have had to buy a more useable chopping board
A little dissapointingFebruary 1, 2009 Garth Jackson-Smith(London) 31 out of 32 found this review helpful
Great idea but the chopping boards could have been made with something that didn't leave marks after cutting
Great chopping boardsDecember 29, 2009 A. Sharad(Buckhurst Hill, Essex United Kingdom) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
These boards look great & I find them very practical. I do a lot of cooking and it really helps to separate chopping of veg, meat fish etc...
Some of the comments made by others are absolutely sopt-on:
- The boards are not huge (check dimentions before buying to ensure they meet your needs)
- They boards DO mark easily - but then you bought them to use, not display - stacked away they look brill
- They store brilliantly & there is a cut-out at the bottom so no nasty food residues to clean out of the storage rack
I've given 4*s because I would have loved the boards to be 20% - 30% bigger...
Not for serious cooksAugust 11, 2009 Annie(London United Kingdom) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a great idea: they look good and the fact that they can go in the dishwasher is a bonus. But if you cook a lot, and want a chopping board that can go in the dishwasher, I'd look at the Top Gourmet chopping boards. You don't get the snazzy case or the colour coding, and you only get about two vs the four boards you get here; but they're slim, they perform much better, wear better and go in the dishwasher.
