Plastic cutting boards

 

— the vast majority of plastic boards are cutting boards; serving models are rare among them. An important advantage of plastic is zero hygroscopicity — it is not prone to absorbing odours, does not swell from moisture, like wood, and the products themselves can be washed in a dishwasher. Plastic boards are distinguished by impressive durability, endure the mechanical impact of a cook's tool and at the same time practically do not blunt the blade of knives.

The main disadvantage is the susceptibility to deformation due to high temperatures. Additionally, plastic can slide on the surface of the countertop.
