| Magisso Cutting Board |
I finally caved. If you look through my previous posts on the Home Style Healthy home page, you'll find that I've been using thin plastic cutting boards for quite some time. The more I cook, the more I find them lacking. They tend to slide around the counter while I'm chopping and I can only imagine what stays lodged in all those crevices left by cutting. I wanted more. I wanted a nice, hefty, butcher block style cutting board that I could rely on to be an asset when I'm in the kitchen. I surfed around on Uncommon Goods, one of my favorite websites, and saw this beauty. It's bamboo, which I like, and a quick read of the description sold me on the idea. I contacted them and they sent me one to try out and review. The box came quickly and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. I love cooking gadgets and this does not disappoint. The first thing I noted is the weight. It feels nice and solid. Not too heavy, not too light. I set it down on the counter and it just fit right in. Our counters are curved but that did not affect how it held its place.
I figured I'd start with the basics. Onions and garlic. Two staples in our recipes most evenings. I asked my husband to chop so I could photograph. Plus, I wanted to get feedback from someone who is a self proclaimed beginner in the kitchen. First up, the onion.
Not a single morsel went anywhere but the pan. I'm usually chasing at least one or two things around the kitchen counter or floor. Nicely done.
Moving on to the garlic. My husband tried the groove one more time and liked it with the garlic. It seems that smaller items like celery, carrots, and garlic are easier to slice using the groove to move things along.

While you're there, look around. You'll be impressed with how many things on the site are upcycled, recycled and just plain clever.
Need some quirky gifts for that person who is so hard to shop for? Try something like one of these. A whiskey stones gift set or kinetic sand. They have lots of holiday options for everyone on your list.
