GUANCI Cutting Board for Kitchen, Stainless Steel Cutting Board Double Sided for Chopping Meat/Vegetables, Stainless Steel/Wheat Straw PP, Kitchen Gifts Easy to Clean Large 16”×11”

My passion is cooking, and after a half-century of doing it, I know what I want. As a matter of rule, I need my cutting surfaces to be super cleanable, non-absorbent, non-toxic, smooth enough to enable precision cutting, yet not be harder than my fine knives’ blades. Too, I’m willing to care for my equipment properly, e.g., regularly oil my cast iron cookware and wood boards and utensils, and wash them all by hand. And I understand how terrible especially old plastic boards are — that with every slice, their surfaces open and microplastics enter the food. Especially damning are colored plastics that whiten in the cutting area or show white when bent. I’m hopeful, but time will tell …My debut concerns after receiving this product are threefold: 1: I find it hard to believe the ‘vegetable side’ material is any safer than plastic. Zero documentation is available on that side’s composition. Being so light-colored, it will be hard to see damage, 2: because the two sides of the board are set into the frame, it's inevitable that water and food fluids can’t help but get under their surfaces, and 3: this product is manufactured in China. China has few if any regulations on their exports. At most, the US tests other countries’ prototypes, which can bear little resemblance to what gets manufactured. Too, China is notorious for counterfeiting important US and European-approval stamps on their products. China’s hardly alone — just Google “Counterfeit Italian EVOO imports to the US!” My thinking on the first concern is that I’ll inspect how impacted the vegetable side looks after use, and stop using it if I suspect it’s degrading. On the second, I’ll be mindful to note if there’s under-board seepage after I clean the board. On the third, I can only educate myself and assess the risks.About cleaning, the current description (as of May 2025) notes that this board is NOT machine washable. Still, I noticed one reviewer’s photo on the metal side bowing after only being hand washed a number of times. I’m forewarned, and will certainly edit my review if I find my experience to be the same.FWIW, anymore, even some of the most-highly-regarded imported cookware companies have gone by the wayside, in that they’ve milking their reputation, but when you delve deeper, have sent the lion’s share of their manufacturing to China, e.g., Le Creuset. But not even made-in-America products are beyond reproach — just look at the history of PYREX and what its switch from borosilicate glass to cheap soda glass formulation did.Finally, I’ll be shocked if Amazon approves this comment, because it’s critical of sources-of-manufacture and addresses public safety.

This is an excellent cutting board. I tested it out for a few months and liked it so well that I purchased a second one so that my son and I can cook together. In the past, I purchased bamboo cutting boards. Once the bamboo cutting boards were exposed to water during cleaning, they developed mold and turned black. By contrast, this cutting board is durable, non-porous, and does not slip while using it on a stable surface. The cutting board did not develop any mold after being cleaned numerous times with warm water. I like using the stainless steel side to cut meats and the reverse side to cut vegetables. This prevents any bacteria contamination between meat and vegetables. In summary, this is a great functional cutting board. I rate it a 5 out of 5.

This stainless steel cutting board is excellent quality—I’ve had no issues with it at all. It works great for both dry and wet ingredients, and you can use either side, which adds to its versatility. Just be sure not to put it in the dishwasher, and you’re good to go. I really appreciate how durable and functional it is. It’s a great addition to my kitchen and gets plenty of use!

Super heavy but love the cleanliness factor. Can chop onions and wash clean the board and not leave it stinky of onions. Also the confidence of slicing meat poultry or fish and ability to wash clean and germ free knowing there’s no cutting into wood or plastic. They are pretty heavy so I couldn’t get some for my mom since she’s older and has arthritis and pretty sure would be unable to handle lifting these.

This cutting board came very quickly and is thick/has some weight to it. I have used it a few times and so far so good. Excited to continue using it.

Love the two sides and it’s super high quality!

So much better than plastic. I love this board so much , so easy to clean .

Love this cutting board except for the fact that it is bowed and therefore won't sit flat on counter.
