It's a good price but a quick search reveals a few companies selling this for between £23-26 . I wish Amazon would stop showing very old retail prices to make it appear you're saving more

I like them - but can you teach my husband to use the right one? He has no idea why I get angry about it! :cry:

Why am I missing the plot on these - sure they look nice but £20 for 4 rectangles of plastic ? is it just that they look cute or is there something else I am misunderstanding ?

They are colour coded for each food type. If they are like the older ones they also have rubber corner pads so they don't slip.

They get knife marks pretty easily and you can't wash them off returned mine because it's not worth the money and for this price these don't have the longevity

Don't understand the popularity of this stuff. Soft plastic that cuts into far too easily. Other kitchen implements in the range melt far too easily if left near a heat source. Marketing hype wins!

Yeah, but they look nice.

Good price but remember wood chopping boards are always better. They are naturally antibacterial and don't start getting knife grooves where bacteria can thrive. On wooden chopping boards bacteria eventually dies off.

I have both, the Joseph Joseph large set and wooden chopping boards. There is no way that I would use the same wooden chopping board for fish, veg, meat, sandwich making etc as thats really asking for trouble. I use the joseph joseph ones as colour coded and use a wooden one day to day for sandwich making, toast etc

I must be one of the lucky ones. I've survived for years on a couple of wooden chopping boards used for everthing :grin:

Not really your actually asking for trouble using plastic as it's been proven and studied that a multitude of bacteria including salmonella thrives and survives on plastic yet dies on wood. So not sure how using wooden chopping boards is asking for trouble?!

Each to their own, I have studied and worked in the food industry and there is a reason that wooden chopping boards are not allowed. In fact I have worked where there was a wooden chopping board and when we had the environmental health check, they issued a warning and destroyed it.

Human beings have been using wooden chopping boards for centuries and we're still around. Don't think they did much harm - unless someone whacked you really hard with one :skull_crossbones:

True and until the early 20th century wooden dentures were used.
Never change! :joy:

There is a reason they are banned in food premises but each to their own . Bit of a mute point that we have used them for centuries and we're still around though, you could say the same about smoking

Are you literally making things up? Has anyone else heard of a ban on wooden chopping boards lol. It's not each to their own actually that's about the silliest thing you could say. It's factual and there is conclusive evidence and studies saying wooden chopping boards are much better against bacteria and none saying plastic are, so I'm wondering if you are what they call a troll!
