The Slice Cutting Board does not boast any bells and whistles but a simple alteration to the conventional shape of the wooden kitchen accessory has made it much more functional than most. Slopes have been worked into two sides of the surface that make it easier to transfer diced edibles from the panel into the pot.
David Holgreaves and Jonathan Fundudis of Snapp Design have greatly improved the usability of this standard culinary object by making just a couple of extra cuts in the material. The result makes it easy for right-handers and lefties alike to guide and funnel food into dishes and pans without loosing morsels off of the sides. The Slice Cutting Board renders the tedious task of chopping ingredients a little more convenient.
