What the maker puts in writing
- “this plastic cutting board sets come with an extra heavy-duty peeler, which would be your best kitchen helper”
- “equipped with four nonslip rubber feet on bottom, these plastic cutting boards is much safer for you to cut on. The deep juice groove collects excess liquids, preventing spills”
- “unlike wood or bamboo, these thick… boards are incredibly durable; won’t splinter, crack or peel, even after many washes; no oiling or maintenance necessary”
- “the set of three comes with: a large 15.75″ x 9.56″, a medium 12.32″ x 7.75″ and a small 9.84″ x 5.83″ size”
- “The plastic cutting board is dishwasher safe… No oiling or maintenance necessary”
The listing cannot count
Title: “Set of 4”. Bullet four: “the set of three comes with…” — and then names three sizes.
No fourth board appears anywhere on the page.
What does appear, in the first bullet, is an “extra heavy-duty peeler”. So the “set of 4” is almost certainly a count of what is in the box rather than of boards.
Worth settling before ordering if you actually need four cutting surfaces. Empune at $34.99 is the only listing on this shelf that genuinely includes four boards, one of them extra-large.
Four feet, and no reversibility claim — which is correct
ROTTOGOON publishes “four nonslip rubber feet on bottom” and claims reversibility nowhere.
That is coherent, and three other listings here are not. A board with feet on one face cannot lie flat on the other: the feet hold it up and it rocks under the knife.
Viretang claims non-slip rubber feet and a reversible design. Belwares claims “rubber feet grip the counter” and “flip it over for a second clean cutting surface”.
Those pairs cannot both work. The listings that keep both features use a rubber border (GORILLA GRIP) or TPR edge handles (Empune), which grip either way up.
ROTTOGOON simply chose the feet and said so.
And four feet rather than a border is the better choice for one job
Feet lift the board off the worktop, which does two things a border does not: it stops the board sliding, and it lets air underneath so the underside dries.
A board laid flat on a wet counter sits in its own puddle.
A peeler in the box
Which is a real tool rather than a token — the peelers on this site run from $3.99 to $17.95, and “heavy-duty” at this price means something at the lower end of that.
The case against wood, stated plainly
Unlike wood or bamboo… won’t splinter, crack or peel, even after many washes; no oiling or maintenance necessary.
That is the honest argument. The wooden boards on this site need mineral oil every month or two and must never see a dishwasher — Allsum states that ban in capitals and warns against damp storage.
Freshware on this shelf makes the identical point in the identical words.
What is not published
No thickness, and it is the figure most worth having. Six boards here publish one, from 5 mm to 9.9 mm — nearly double. It decides flex under a cleaver and warping in a hot dishwasher. The 1,300 g for three boards suggests mid-shelf.
No material named, where both Farberwares, HOMWE and Fotouzy say polypropylene — the right plastic for a board: non-porous, and tough enough to take a knife without shedding chips.
No warranty. Only Empune and Fotouzy publish one.
