Simply Genius Flexible Cutting Board Mats - Plastic Cutting Mats for Kitchen Prep - Color-Coded Chopping Board Set - Dishwasher-Safe Thin Flexible Mats - Pack of 8, 4 Large & 4 Small

I really like these mats, and I don't know how I lived without them before. I used to have one clear plastic mat that I used on top of my wood cutting board. It slipped a lot, and it warped when heated objects were placed on it. These Simply Genius mats are such an upgrade. They stick better to the wooden cutting board so they don't slide around. This keeps my cutting board cleaner so I don't have to wash it as often. They have a textured/waffled top which also keeps liquids from running off. They take the brunt of very sharp knives and none have cut through them or anything, so they're sturdy. I like that this package had two sizes that came with it; I found the small ones useful for small cutting jobs, like slicing a tomato or something on the side. To clean them, I usually use a dish brush and brush off the food a bit in the sink (this also helps clean the waffle texture better), then I throw them in the dishwasher. I've seen some other reviews here that they don't always come out dry, which is true. But that's because of the waffle texture and how it grips to liquids, so sometimes they hold onto water and take a while to dry. It's no big deal, as I open my dishwasher and let all my dishes dry for a few hours before I unload anyway. And most of all, I love these neutral gray colors! When I was searching for cutting board mats, so many brands only offer bright, clownish colors, which are not fit for a modern/sophisticated kitchen look. Who wants rainbow-colored cutting mats? They look like they're for children, lol--sorry, just my opinion. These gray ones look nice, feel nice, they're inexpensive, and work well--I'm happy and can't complain. Once these wear out, I'd have no hesitation buying more.

These are fairly stiff boards, which is a good thing. It makes it easy to chop veggies and then pick up the board to slide the veggies into the pot/pan. They don't slide around the counter when you're cutting, but they are easily turned by hand if you need to do that. I suspect that's due to the texture on the bottom side. They are easily washed, but with the texture on the top side, we sometimes need to use a brush just to make sure it's cleaned (if we're washing by hand.) They do go into the dishwasher as well, so if you're about to run a load after dinner, just chuck them in with the rest of the dishes. A few folks have made comments that say "knives don't leave marks"; I'm here to say they do, but because these are thick and seem to be of harder plastic than cheap cutting boards, the marks are minor and don't seem to cut the plastic, but rather just leave visual marks. All this is not a negative, but just wanted to comment on it. Overall, a nice set of boards that does what you want a cutting board to do.

Sturdy and amazingly resistant to knife cuts. I needed new cutting mats b/c old ones got wrecked with knife cuts. So I've been very closely examining these Simply Genius Flexible boards for any subtle sign of a knife cut. They just don't seem to get cut easily, at least not w/ several weeks of heavy use. In fact, they do not show signs of being used at all so far. Nice colors, easy to wash and store. Spent a little bit extra to try out these mats that are just the right thickness, so they can be used as a funnel to empty contents into a pot or bowl. Feels like a good 'investment,' and with 4 mats, can rotate them or designate for meat/poultry or fruits/vegetables or use 2 or more for different parts of cooking projects around the kitchen. Easy to use, five stars. And I cut my old, scratched up mats to fit storage areas where it's good to have protection, like fridge drawers and a metal shelf rack.

These are without a doubt much thicker and much nicer than the paper thin plastic sheets we bought last time. Those were so thin that you would eventually cut through them if slicing with a sharp knife. These are thicker than 2, maybe even 3 of the thin ones combined - I expect them to be much more durable. The thickness makes them stiffer (for putting in the dishwasher) - yet they will still bend with little effort. And they seem to resist damage from sharp knives much better. Overall a very nice set that takes up far less room than traditional cutting boards. So, why only 4 stars ? Because they claim to be made in the USA, but there is no stamp on the sheets anywhere. However, the paper sleeve that they come in says made in China. So, are they or aren't they made in the USA ? If they are, why have the paper sleeve made in China - you couldn't find a printer here in the USA to make that simple item ? Or at least insist that the sleeve says product made in USA, sleeve made in China ? But if you're going to say made in the USA, lets go all the way, and remove any doubt. There are plenty of people more willing to spend their money here, rather than sending it to China.

Absolutely love these cutting boards. The store easily and the do fine in the dishwasher.

Glad I purchased these cutting boards for daily food prep. Light, durable, easy to clean, easy to store, and the two sizes are good for different applications. Even using heavy duty food knives these boards stand up to the abuse. You will see cut lines but they don't look out of place (and I don't care about how the board looks!). Excellent value and functionality.

Live them easy to clean up and they don’t take up a lot of space.

They seemed a little pricey at first. But, I bought them as a replacement for some cheap ones. These definitely seem to be sturdier. And getting larger ones and smaller ones is great. I've definitely learned with these to cut carrots on a cutting board that you can't see the colour. I definitely use the orange ones for the carrots now!

Very nice. Colours modern for my new kitchen! I only wish they made them larger. I knew their size when I ordered but cutting boards that are bigger make for easier and quicker work, I find.

Bought it a few years ago and it is till in good condition
