KitchenAid Classic Cutting Board with Perimeter Trench and Non Slip Edges, Dishwasher Safe, 11 inch x 14 inch, White and Gray

Nicely made, large cutting board that can be used for all of your cooking needs. I use it for cutting fruits, vegetables and meat and fish and it works perfectly. Cleanup is easy - if using it for meat or fish, I just put it in the dishwasher. If using it for vegetables / fruit, a simple rinse under the tap suffices. There is no odor and the board is light enough to work as a "storage" surface when cooking as I can just dump the items that are cut straight into the cooking pot. I use both sides of the cutting board and yes, one can see the cut marks made by the knife but that is expected. It has withstood the multiple uses in the dishwasher and there is no warping of any kind. I expect it to last for years as it is well made and is inexpensive enough as a daily user. I normally place it on a towel as I have granite counter tops and this helps keep it in place when in use. The grooves along the sides help keep any juices or liquids on the cutting board instead of on the counter.

As a woman who spends a considerable amount of time in the kitchen, I've come to appreciate the importance of practicality and efficiency in my culinary tools. Enter this cutting board – a reliable addition to my kitchen arsenal that meets my top prerequisite: it's dishwasher safe. The spacious design of this cutting board has quickly become a game-changer in my food prep routine. Cutting and chopping become a breeze without the usual mess, thanks to its generous surface area. I can tackle ingredients with ease. What I love most is the convenience it offers post-use. Tossing it into the dishwasher is a no-brainer, and it emerges good as new, ready for the next culinary adventure. The fact that it can handle the dishwasher without losing its quality is a win in my book, saving me valuable time and effort. Now, let's talk aesthetics. While it may not win any beauty pageants in my kitchen, it compensates with pure functionality. I appreciate the straightforward, no-frills design that prioritizes usability over flashy appearances. After all, when you're in the kitchen as much as I am, function tends to take precedence over form. In conclusion, this cutting board may not be the belle of the ball, but it's a workhorse in my kitchen. For someone who values practicality, easy maintenance, and a clutter-free cooking space, this cutting board has earned its spot in my culinary toolkit. Highly recommended for those who prioritize functionality without sacrificing quality.

This cutting board is a perfect size. It grips the countertop with no slips. I love the trench around the perimeter of the cutting board to catch any drips. It is a great value for the money!

While the board is well made, the surface is very slick when new. That makes it difficult to cut things like wet chicken breasts, which will tend to slide around while you are trying to cut them. "Fortunately", after a while your knives will leave marks into the surface, creating a texture that reduces the slipping somhwhat.

My spouse wanted something to cut raw meat on. I love the non-slip edges, and the liquid channel around the edges makes it easy not to splash meat juice on the counter. It is not hard to clean. I put it in the dishwasher and have had no problems. I only needed one, but it is nice to have two.

I bought the larger KitchenAid cutting board first & it literally took just one use to know I wanted the smaller one too. Both are great sizes. The color is more of a light blue (see attached pictures) than the one shown on the Amazon product page. Knives glide over the surface, making the task at hand easier. I have not noticed any dulling of my knives. These do not show cutting marks on them. I enclosed a picture of an old cutting board of mine (dark gray) that showed every cut I ever made on it. It looked 100 years old the first week. The KitchenAid ones look brand new. I love the drip tray. I toss mine in the dishwasher, but these could just as easily be handwashed. I purchased one for a granddaughter and she loves hers too. You should put these on your "MUST HAVE" list for yourself and GIFT list for others. You will be thrilled and so will they.

This little cutting board is a solid everyday essential. At 8” x 10”, it’s the perfect size for quick chopping, small meals, or pairing with a larger wooden board for more involved cooking. I love the non-slip rubber edges—they keep the board stable on the counter, even when I’m working fast. One of the biggest perks is that it’s dishwasher safe, which is a huge time-saver compared to my wood boards. The perimeter trench is a thoughtful design touch that helps catch juices from fruits or proteins, keeping cleanup easy. While the surface does show cut marks with heavy use, that’s expected with plastic boards. If you’re concerned about plastic exposure, it’s worth replacing it every year or so—which is totally reasonable at this price point.

I bought this cutting board at full price, only to see it go on sale shortly after — disappointing, especially given the quality. It’s just okay for light use, but not very durable. After a short time, knife marks started showing heavily, and the surface feels a bit rough when cutting. It also tends to slide a bit despite the non-slip edges. Definitely not built to last — I’ll need to replace it soon. It might be fine for occasional use, but I wouldn’t recommend it for everyday cooking.
