GUANCI Cutting Board for Kitchen, Non Toxic 2-in-1 Double Sided Design, 304 Food Grade Stainless Steel & Wheat Straw PP Chopping Board for Meat & Vegetables, Durable Kitchen Essential, 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, 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. Update June 2025: After using the metal side of this board to cut lots of different vegetables and fruits, I’ll never go back to wood or plastic. Finally, my great knives perform as they should, including halving big melons (a challenge with other boards). I realize in hindsight, the wood and plastic were far too soft to ever let me follow through with clean cuts. It was always impossible to dice cleanly let alone chop fresh herbs (causing bruising). This board is now my ‘go to.’

I am so incredibly happy with this cutting board! I cook a lot of protein at home, and my biggest pet peeve has always been the massive mess and juice running all over my countertops whenever I carve a roasted chicken or cut into a juicy steak. The stainless steel side on this board completely solved that problem. The juice groove is actually deep enough to catch everything, keeping my counters perfectly clean. It's amazing. I also love the dual-sided design. Being able to flip it over to the wheat straw side for fruits and veggies gives me total peace of mind against cross-contamination without having to pull out multiple heavy boards. It washes clean in seconds, doesn't retain odors, and the little built-in garlic/ginger grating area on the veggie side is such a thoughtful bonus. If you want to spend less time wiping down your counters and more time enjoying your food, get this board. Worth every penny!

Just the cutting board I was looking for. Compact with a handle, and two sides, one for meat, and one for veggies. Easy to store, and easy washable. I am very happy with my purchase!

This product is worth every penny. I love the double sided capabilities. It is great quality and a larger size. Very easy to clean

This is really an excellent product. Durable and non slip. I love the functionality of the product. An absolute essential for hygiene in the kitchen. I’ve had plenty of plastic and wooden chopping boards in the past and I cook a lot. This is definitely long lasting. For years definitely. Scratch resistant. Size is perfect and easy to use. Definitely a little on the heavier side. But I guess that’s what makes it slip proof. Will blend into any kind of kitchen deco. Easy to clean and store too. A must for those who want a minimal tidy clutter free kitchen with multiple functionality without having different chopping boards for meat and vegetables/fruits. No contamination. No bacterial growth. Value for money. I will definitely buy this product over and over but this one itself would last me for years to come.

A little smaller than I expected. More of a better use for a single apartment dweller than a larger family. Still, for the fast and easy small jobs, it’s not bad. Solid construction.

I love this cutting board for meat. I like that it has two sides which is very versatile. I wish I had a bigger one to go with this one as well. Great price. It does leave cut marks on the steel side.

Easy too use!

So happy with this cutting board! I tell everyone about it!. I honestly use the stainless steel side the most. It's heavier than I though it would be but now I love that as it is really good quality.

I can't really write a review without getting cut up about a great product
