Oxo grips cutting board small

Start with the essentials: size, material, surface finish, safety features, and ease of cleaning. For compact spaces, pick a small board that fits on your counter and in storage drawers, and decide between plastic (lightweight and dishwasher-friendly) or wood (blade-friendly with proper care). Look for a non-slip base to prevent slips while you chop and for surfaces that are easy to sanitize. Within the Good Grips range, choose a board that integrates well with other Oxo tools and can be cleaned without fuss.

The most important attribute is the surface material’s knife-friendliness and durability. A knife-friendly surface reduces blade wear and keeps cuts clean, while durability ensures the board holds up to regular use. Plastic boards are lightweight and easy to clean, whereas wood boards feel gentler on blades but require proper care. A non-slip base also dramatically improves safety by preventing shifting during chopping tasks.

Yes. Beginners benefit from a lightweight plastic board that’s easy to sanitize and store, making basic prep simple. Pros may prefer a board with a juice groove and sturdy non-slip feet to handle frequent chopping and reduce mess. Pairing the board with tools like a silicone flexible turner can help you move chopped ingredients smoothly from board to pan.

Wash the board with warm, soapy water after use and let it air dry completely. If it’s plastic, check if it’s dishwasher-safe and use the top rack when allowed; for wooden boards, apply a food-grade oil periodically to prevent drying and cracking. Sanitize regularly, especially after prepping raw meats, and store away from heat sources to preserve the board’s integrity and hygiene.

Yes. Look for variations by material (plastic vs wood) and by features like non-slip bases and juice grooves. Consider your cleaning preferences, how you store the board, and how you plan to use it for different ingredients. All options come from the Good Grips line, ensuring consistent quality and compatibility with other Oxo tools.

The Good Grips Small Silicone Flexible Turner is ideal for flipping chopped ingredients from the board, while the Good Grips Wooden Turner provides sturdy scooping and serving. The Good Grips Large Vegetable Prep Peeler helps prep ingredients you’ll cut on the board, and the Good Grips Little Salad & Herb Spinner is handy for washing and drying produce before or after chopping.
