Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Each mat is colour coded to prevent cross contamination, easily transfers chopped food from mat to bowl or pan. The 4 mats are Green for Veg, Yellow for Poultry, Red for Meat and Blue for Seafood. Ideal for home or professional catering use, these Mats are really tough and will last a long time for heavy domestic use and almost all catering applications, (e.g. preparing sandwiches and buffet), they will not however withstand a daily battering from a full time butcher with a meat cleaver!

5 out of 5 stars Loving these   January 31, 2010

This is a set of very thin, flexible chopping mats for use in the kitchen, colour coded for vegetables, poultry, other meat and fish. They can be put in the dishwasher, and are hard to mark with a knife.

There are basically two kinds of chopping boards -- the kind that are beautiful, and the kind that are functional. Massive hardwood boards look great on the sideboard, but you can't put them in the dishwasher, and they are hard to get really clean any other way. Plastic chopping boards of various kinds are usually quite thick, and sometimes patterned with a texture that is a little like wood. Although initially much easier to keep clean, they tend to scar, and so are just as likely as wooden ones to be holding food traces.

For this reason, commercial kitchens have been using colour-coded boards for a long time, so that the meat board is never used for vegetables, etc. Even so, once boards have begun to scar and refuse to get clean, they ought to be replaced.

These mats go one stage further -- recognising that you will never cut right the way through one, even with a scalpel, they are made thin and flexible. You can roll them up to store them, allowing the surface to be really quite big -- almost as big as an A3 sheet for these mats -- and you can flex them round things for the dishwasher. The surface is a lot harder than most of the plastic mats we've used, though not so hard that it blunts the knife. Nonetheless, they will scar eventually. At this cost-point, though, it shouldn't be too much of a wrench to dispose of them and replace them.

All in all, these are the most functional chopping mats or boards we've ever had, and we are no longer using the collection of other boards we had before.

Great boards. Flexible ones are so much easier to use than conventional. Chop away, pick the chopping boards up and hey presto, they fold nicely to be able to get everything into the pan without food flying everywhere. Will purchase again.

I find them a great space-saving and lightweight alternative to heavy conventional chopping boards.Excellent value...just hope they will stand the test of time with multiple knife use and dishwasher cycles. So far...ideal for purpose.
