While i have used many Rubber Cutting Board. I still feel they the Best you should buy.
Compared to Wooded and Plastic Cutting Board.
Advice: Leaving Water on it, after wash, will eventually swollen the rubber.
Eventually middle will sink to other side, and later will create a uneven surface to cut. Finally a hole, and then everything looks uncuttable. So will have to buy New One.
Clean the washed Cutting Board with a towel after using.
Pros: soft on knife blades, so cut longer, stable on surface when chopping meat and vegetables
Cons: heavy
NOTE: If yours Warp eventually that means, you don’t wipe water off after use. That lead to crack, but If You take Care of It, Its A Lifetime for most Household.
Don’t put extremely hot on it, you can put fairly hot.
Don’t leave sauce meat on it = leads to stains later on = hard to wash.
Must hand wash
Thicker Board are more durable and Longevity and Don’t warp, and Thinner Boards are bendable and lighter.
