OXO Good Grips 2-Piece Cutting Board Set, Non-Porous Double-Sided Review (2026)

Who this cutting board set fits

This set is built for anyone who wants to keep raw meat prep physically separate from vegetables and other produce without owning a large collection of boards. Having two boards of different sizes in one purchase means you can designate the larger board for bigger jobs like breaking down a chicken or slicing a melon, while reserving the smaller board for quicker tasks like mincing garlic or slicing a lemon, without needing to wash and dry the big board between small tasks. Because both boards are double sided, the set effectively gives you four usable surfaces, which suits people who prep several different ingredients in one cooking session and do not want to keep stopping to wash a single board. It is less suited to anyone who specifically wants a wood cutting board for its look or feel, since these are polypropylene plastic boards through and through.

Build and materials

According to a foodservice supplier listing for this exact set, the larger board measures about 12 and 7/8 inches by 9 inches, and the smaller board measures about 10 and 3/4 inches by 7 and 1/4 inches, with both boards roughly 3/8 inch thick. Both are made from polypropylene, described as non-porous, which resists absorbing odors and liquid the way a wood or bamboo board more readily does, and OXO markets the material as designed not to dull knife edges as quickly as glass or a harder plastic would. Each board is double sided, pairing a smooth side suited to produce with a grooved side intended for meat, where the groove is meant to catch juices and reduce spillover onto the counter. The boards also include small integrated pour corners and non-slip feet on the base to help keep the board steady while cutting.

Daily use and care

In daily use, the main workflow benefit is being able to flip a board over rather than washing it mid session when you switch from, for example, slicing vegetables to breaking down raw chicken, as long as you are using the two sides for their intended purposes rather than mixing meat and produce on the same face. Both boards are dishwasher safe, which is a meaningful advantage over wood boards that generally need hand washing and oiling to avoid warping or cracking. The non-slip feet on the underside help the board stay in place on a countertop while cutting, reducing the sliding that can happen with a lightweight plastic board on a smooth counter surface. Because the boards are non-porous, they are also less likely to hold onto raw meat odors after a normal wash cycle compared with a more porous cutting surface.

Trade offs and how it compares

Against wood and bamboo boards ranked higher on this site, such as sets with a juice groove carved into solid bamboo or walnut, the clear trade off is material feel and knife friendliness: wood is generally gentler on knife edges over the long run and many cooks prefer its look on a counter, while this OXO set wins on dishwasher convenience and lower odds of warping since plastic does not react to water the way wood can. Compared with single board sets, having two differently sized boards from one purchase is a practical advantage for kitchens that regularly separate meat and produce prep. The main downside relative to premium wood boards is that plastic surfaces do develop more visible knife grooves over time, and those grooves can eventually need the board replaced rather than resurfaced the way a wood board can sometimes be sanded down.

Verdict and who should pick something else

This set earns a strong score mainly for practicality: two sizes, four usable double sided surfaces, dishwasher safe cleanup and a non-porous material that resists odors, all useful for anyone doing regular meal prep that mixes meat and produce. It is a sensible, low maintenance choice for people who prioritize hygiene and easy cleanup over the look and feel of a wood board. Shoppers who want a board that is gentler on knife edges over years of heavy use, or who prefer the appearance of a natural wood or bamboo board on their counter, should look at one of the higher ranked wood cutting boards on this site instead.
