Questions people ask
How thick is this board?
Four millimetres, which is stated in the dimensions field and is thin enough to flex.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes, and unlike the bamboo boards here it does not need oiling.
Can I use it for raw meat?
Yes, and at this price you can keep separate colours for meat and vegetables.
Will it last?
It will scar and stain. Polypropylene is a replaceable board rather than an heirloom one.
Why is it third?
Because it is the cheapest honest listing here, and the thickness it states limits what it can do.
How many ratings does it have?
4750 at the time of collection, averaging 4.4 stars, with 67 per cent five-star and 2 per cent one-star.
