Stainless Steel Worktop Saver (500 x 600 Square Fold)

SELLER: Excellent. It arrived before the expected delivery date (despite the covid-19 delivery restrictions). Well packaged in bubble wrap.PRICE: £31.95 + Prime delivery. (April 2020)UN-BOXING THE PRODUCT: You need to be a little careful when opening this, as it is very well wrapped, due to its being a thin(ish) sheet of metal, which could take a slice or dent out of a surface or you, if not careful! Luckily no such incident here! There is a protective film of plastic on the top side, which you need to peel off – quite a satisfying process! On the back there is also a white film, which you don’t remove (I tried to, before realising that though!). Attached to the bottom are some strips of little pads. I have affixed one in each corner about an inch / 2cms in from the edge and have kept the rest spare should they fall off through use / washing. The item itself was in perfect condition with no dents or scratches.SIZE: 50cms x 50cms surface. With a round fold - lip depth over the counter edge 2.5cms (Thickness is approx. 1.5mm – very sturdy and no wobble at all.)USING: I wanted something to use when baking, kneading dough, using cookie cutters (for my Nigella moments!) or generally making a mess! Dough on wooden worktops is a real pain to clean up, it strips the oils off and cutters can scratch the wood – note to self, never get wooden worktops again! This ‘metal board’ is big enough to do it with ease and with the lip edge that goes over the counter, ensures it stays firmly in place. It now makes the whole process much easier and the clean up a doddle. Baking is a much more enjoyable experience - I hate the tidy up! I looked at a large silicone mat (second choice), marble (too expensive), other wooden blocks (no idea why – suspect my James Martin ‘half a tree board’ aspirations!), then I happened upon this and hurrah! I am so glad I did. You’ll see from the pictures that its big enough for the job, unlike chopping boards! It also looks really good, providing a little stylish accent piece that’s also practical and helpful, but it also easily slides away behind a door if you prefer. I must just note, don’t use this as a general chopping board, you will blunt your knives.CLEANING: Super easy, once you know how! I tried the sink – not a good plan unless your feet needed a bath too! I tried Dettol spray, it went streaky, I then tried the soft side of the dish sponge with hot soapy fairy (other washing up liquids are available!) then dried it off with kitchen roll – et voilà! Perfect, streak free and hygienically clean!CONCLUSION: Great item that looks more expensive than it is – perfect for the use I need and ease of cleaning. I have already shown some friends (via the powers of FaceTime – social distancing and all that!) and two of them have now ordered one too. Plus a UK manufacturer and supplier, always best to support local independent businesses when we can.

I received my worktop saver quickly and well packed.It comes with little sticky pads to avoid scratching the surface it will sit on, which is great. Had an issue with circular marks on the sheet, but Avonstar helped me get rid of them easily. Great customer service!!Bought to protect my wooden surfaces, now I can bake away knowing the area will be easy to clean. Glad I ordered!!

This has been a godsend in the kitchen. Ideal for chopping and hot pots. Seller sorted an issue with initial delivery very quickly and in a friendly way. Recommend the product and seller.

A very good quality item, very well packaged and with thick protective film to ensure it arrived in perfect condition. It's very easy to clean compared with a laminate worktop, and makes a great hygienic work surface for kneading dough, making pastry, etc.Going by some of the negative comments in the reviews perhaps it's too well protected, as any stainless steel work surface is going to end up with a host of superficial scratches when it's used - it's not going to look shiny and perfect like it was when you peeled the film off, people! Also, why are people using knives on it like it's a chopping board? How to ruin your knives and make deep scratches in the steel...

Love this ,looks great and you can just do any preparation on it ,cleans easy doesn’t mark .Given the kitchen for very little money a modern look

Like a lot of other people, I managed to burn my kitchen surface and this covers it really well.It feels solid and well made and it is moulded to fit well over the edge of (most?) surfaces.However, the pads that come with it to stop it gripping are too thick, making quite a gap under the sheet - so I actually use a very small piece of bluetac instead, which is much better.Second problem is that it scratches quite easily - so don't cut things directly on itThird problem is that if you use a scouring pad to clean it with water, then you get a few rust spots where the chromium part of the stainless steel is taken off and the steel part oxidises.... however this is easily rectified by cleaning again to remove the rust and then making sure it's properly dry... and then allowing the natural chromium shield to reform over a few days.Having said all this, it is still a very good purchase - saving me from feeling like I had to replace the entire surface (which would be much more expensive!) also, it is very good for putting hot pans onto... but for cutting, I would still use a board ontop of this.

I have ordered 2 of these workstops and I was so thrilled with how they looked I contacted the company and have requested a custom sized one which they have quickly quoted me for and made and I expect delivery any day.My current worktops are solid wood but havent been cared for properly over the last ten years (werent oiled well), whilst my worktops are solid im not ready for a new kitchen but have always fancied stainless steel featured somewhere in my kitchen when I do and this gives me some insight into how they will look and how easy they are to maintain.They look really good, everyone who has been in so far has commented on them. They do scratch so I still use a chopping board and I will find out the best way to keep them. They clean really easily. Ive rolled out pastry on them and it works great and I will make some fresh pasta on them also.The communication with the seller has always been fast and they are most helpful and I highly recommend these worktops and this seller.

So happy with this product. Very good to have in a corner of the kitchen to cook and keep mess in one space. Also very good to cook pastry on it.

Molto comodo per impastare, facile da pulire.

Plan de travail de belle qualité, amovible pour une utilisation occasionnelle à la place de la planche à découper, le temps d'étaler ma pâte. Solide et facile à nettoyer

J'ai pris cette plaque pour ma pâtisserie j'adore très pratique de très belle taille je l'adore

Impecable, buen producto
