Freshware Cutting Boards for Kitchen

Sizes and separation

The large board measures 16 × 9.8 in, enough for a whole chicken or a pile of vegetables. The medium 12.4 × 7.8 in covers daily prep, and the small 10 × 5.8 in takes cheese, an onion or a lime. All three are reversible, so each board gives you two faces, and Freshware suggests assigning boards by food type — the simplest defense against cross-contamination. The rubber edges and handles keep a board from sliding on the counter, and the juice groove catches drips before they reach it.

The dishwasher question

Freshware calls the set dishwasher safe and lists no durability caveats. For boards this thin, category guidance says the caveat matters. Wirecutter recommends the delicate or eco setting, or removing the board before the drying cycle. KitchenAid’s product help warns that final-rinse temperatures over 150°F can warp or misshape some plastics, and cuttingboard.com is blunter: plastic boards generally survive the dishwasher “minus the thin plastic sheets”. In r/Cooking threads, owners describe thin poly boards warping in dishwashers and suggest thicker poly instead. Nobody has published dishwasher results for this exact set, so treat warping as a known risk rather than a confirmed defect.

No independent test

No instrumented test from Wirecutter, RTINGS, Tom’s Guide, CNET, PCMag or specialist kitchen labs covers this exact set. The evidence is first-party spec copy, retailer mirrors, and one AI-assisted round-up. That round-up, published 2026-09-01 by Perfect Fit Living, features this exact set in its multi-size category and confirms the gray color, reversible design, non-slip handles, juice grooves and dishwasher claim; its complaints are that the thin plastic may wear faster under heavy use and the surface may scratch over time. Wirecutter, which says it has tested more than 40 boards since 2015, does not recommend any Freshware board. Owner discussion specific to this set is absent from retrievable sources; the r/Cooking threads cited here are category signal, not Freshware data.

Care and running costs

There is nothing to service: no oiling, no parts. Hand wash with light soap or use the dishwasher on a gentle cycle; the only running cost is detergent. Freshware’s return policy gives you 30 days from purchase at the original place of purchase and guarantees quality for the term on the packaging; the product page separately advertises a full refund, no questions asked. No warranty length beyond the packaging term is published. Wirecutter’s advice to replace plastic boards about every two years is category guidance, not a Freshware measurement, but at this price a warped board is a replaceable consumable, not a repair problem.

Is it worth it?

At $13.99 on Freshware’s own site, marked down from a $19.20 compare-at, and $11.19 at a Kitchen Linen Co mirror, the set is cheap enough that a board warping in year two is an acceptable loss. If you run the dishwasher every day or want test-backed hygiene, spend more on a thicker plastic set; Wirecutter found OXO resisted warping, staining and odors better than the other plastic boards it tested. Above the compare-at price, the value case weakens quickly.

Which model this is

This page covers the Freshware plastic set of three, SKU BC-300PK, ASIN B07HHLH8DH, in gray. Third-party mirrors list the same product under UPC 812096030010. Freshware also sells bamboo, wood-fiber and titanium boards; those are separate products with their own reviews, and complaints about them do not apply to this set.
