The Best Plastic Cutting Boards

Plastic cutting boards come in a wide range of materials and designs. Not all of them work. After plenty of testing, here are our favorites.

The Best Plastic Cutting Board: OXO Good Grips Cutting Board

As basic plastic cutting boards go, OXO's are hard to beat. They're incredibly durable, yet still kind to a knife blade, leaving it sharp even after heavy use. Thin enough to store easily but thick and sturdy enough not to bend and warp, OXO's boards kept their shape after multiple high-heat spins through a dishwasher.

The Best High-End Plastic Cutting Board: Yoshihiro Hi-Soft Cutting Board

Of all the plastic cutting boards tested for our review, Yoshihiro's Hi-Soft cutting boards felt closest to wood; cutting on them is pure pleasure. They're also very gentle on knives, but you need to be more careful working with these boards: Aggressive and sloppy knife work will do damage to the softer thermoplastic material.
