My Favorite (Recycled Plastic) Cutting Boards
Remember when I wrote a blog post nearly every day for a year? Whoa…that was a lot of work. But FOAS, friends of Arlyn Says, I’m back! For the month of November, at the very least. If you missed my announcement last week, you can catch up on that here. If not, let’s get into my first recommendation for the month. My format might change as the weeks pass, but this will be the gist: photo (if I have time, I’ll snap a photo myself, if I don’t, like today because I was too busy pulling a baby octopus in her wagon around the neighborhood for Halloween, I’ll just share the product image from the brand), a short write up about why I like it, and a link out to the product. Easy peasy.
Some may be affiliate links, which means I get a small commission (like literal cents) if you complete the purchase, others won’t be. I’ll always be sure to let you know if it is. Today, it is.
Alright, let’s do this.
Product name: The reBoard & (mini) reBoard by Material
A little about them: I’ve long loved my wood cutting boards. The feeling of the soft thudding the knife makes against the grain while I chop up all my onions and garlic and carrots is soul-soothing to me. Except when you go to cut strawberries on that same board you minced garlic on, well…you get garlic-dusted strawberries and I’m just not into that flavor combo. I needed something that was easier to wash (throw in the dishwasher, anyone?), didn’t hold on to flavors or scents, and was lightweight enough to maneuver around the kitchen.
Why I like them: A few reasons—the sizes ended up being exactly what I needed for a variety of tasks (the reBoard for a moderate amount of chopping, the (mini) reBoard for small jobs like slicing my morning berries or bananas, for instance), the colors are fantastic—I bought coral and midnight—and they’re BPA-free made entirely of kitchen plastic scraps and renewable sugarcane. Win, win, win. I also love the little hole up on one of the corners for my thumb to slip into for a good grasp when scraping mirepoix into the skillet.
