The best chopping boards
I love these chopping boards. They stay put thanks to the rubbery edging and are really easy to clean. They also have a recess around the edge so that liquids/juices etc. don't run off.

A very good (not perfect) board for some simple cooking (compared lots of boards)
I compared lots of boards, but for the sake of simplicity, here are 3 contenders:- Architec G14-WW Gripper board (plastic and rubber all the way below): Bottom grip/friction is about 70% (when 100% is completely stuck and 0% is freely sliding), regardless of if the composite countertop is wet or not. A good board, expensive but doesn't wobble so this seems to be the most professional grade plastic board available.- KitchenCraft Colourworks Polyethylene Reversible Cutting Board: Grip/friction is about 30%. Doesn't sound a lot, but that's already pretty good. Doesn't slide all over the place. The grip is somewhat decent regardless of countertop being wet or not. Lightyears ahead compared to no rubber at all.- Ikea's cheap all plastic board: Grip/friction score 2%. Slides all over the place. Otherwise fine, no problems, although the surface is not as nice as on the previous products.However, as boards with feet (like this KitchenCraft) are lifted upwards, it means the board is bouncy. Although not consistently bouncy. After opening the package, the board was curved so that on one side the bottom precisely touches the countertop, on the other side there's a considerable dip. So the other side doesn't have much of noticeable bounciness (still rubbers touch so that it also doesn't slide all over). But the other side bounces, which is not acceptable for a serious cook. So I tried to bend it. Used a lot of force for a few seconds. Absolutely nothing happened. However, I suspect if I put it in the washing machine, on very high heat setting, washing mainly from one side, it'll possibly change the curve. Not sure. In any case, it seems it's not possible to uncurve it just by bending by hand.There is a decent solution to the bounciness. Of course some towels or rubber mats would do, but who wants more items to clean up. You can, however, also use rubber bands. One will help, but 3–6 rubber bands will completely stop bounciness and also add grip. However, you of course need thin enough rubber bands, placing them nicely (big balls of rubber bands will be too high), so that's also too much work. But, rubber bands are pretty good if you get annoyed about the bounciness. (Maybe white bands for a white board so that it doesn't show through so much.)I would recommend this KitchenCraft board for something like summer cabins or other secondary locations. The price is ok, the features are pretty nice, this board seems to outperform a good bunch of competitors. For our kitchen, this is a good secondary board, but not the first choice.EDIT: I noticed that heavier objects on the board will increase grip substantially. So if you have say 1 kg on top of the board, the grip is pretty stable. Of course, you will often have there just a few carrots, so the grip will be slightly off, but still better than without rubber. KitchenCraft is less noisy than Architec. No board is perfect.EDIT2: Over time I started liking this more and more. Very quick to clean, holds well enough, extremely handy. So I have to change from 4/5 to 5/5!

Design change from a couple of years ago
Little different to the ones I bought a couple of years ago. This one is lighter, thinner, and has a much wider drainage channel.The wider drainage channel (on one surface not both) takes up more room so the actual cutting surface is a bit smaller.Overall doesn't feel quite so sturdy as the earlier ones I bought but does the job. I've washed ok in the dishwasher a couple of times but at this point can't tell if they will start warping or not.

This is a great chopping board!
This is a great chopping board! The white part is made from a moderately hard plastic which is just right in hardness, not too hard and not too soft. When you chop items on it, the knife cuts through the items and impacts the board with exactly the right tension and feel. You will know what I mean if you have used a glass chopping board : ). Also, you don't get big gouges cut into the plastic even when it has been used for a while - you get thin score lines which is great as it is more hygienic. Also, the write up is correct, the board is gentle on blades - I have had to sharpen my knives less often since using this board. I found, for me personally, the sound made when the knife impacts the board, to be acceptable - harder chopping boards are too noisy, soft chopping boards can be less hygienic, in my humble opinion. The green part on the edge of the board seems to be a soft (heat resistant?) rubber which definitely works as a means to stop the board from slipping around. The size of the board is perfect and I would definitely recommend this item and I will be being it again!
