Advantages: looks good, works well

Disadvantages: bend lines look bad

It had been a while since I'd bought myself any new kitchen gadgets, so when I found this in my local gadget shop, I thought it would make a good addition to my collection.

What's great about this, is that you can buy it in such a variety of places, I've seen it in kitchen shops, gadget shops, or even department stores. You really don't know when you will stumble across it, but when you do, you'll find it hard to resist.

The idea behind the item is that it is a chopping board primarily, that has a handle that you can grip and it causes the whole board to kind of fold up. This is so that after chopping an onion say, you can lift the whole thing up and easily push it into your frying pan, without having to do a bit of a juggling act between a chopping board, a knife and your hands (always bad!). The product doesn't actually come with any packaging, which I think is great, although you'll obviously want to wash it first. It would have been easy to cover this in plastic or something for sale, so I'm glad it's been kept as eco friendly as possible.

As a chopping board this works well, it would be hard for it not to I suppose. It's not too hard or too soft, and I don't find that I have made many marks in it with my knife. The lines on which the board fold however, do look a bit rubbish as they bend, and they whiten, which makes you think they might snap or something. Having said this the product is very sturdy.

At £12-15, this not the cheapest chopping board you are going to find, but it is certainly something a bit different, and you could argue that it covers a range of needs. Not only this, but it does make a good gift for those that have it all, and enjoy cooking!

Summary: great item for yourself or as a gift to someone else
