Pegged Chopping Boards

The Pego Cutting Board Keeps Fingers Away from Sharp Blades

— July 27, 2012 — Art & Design
The risk of injury while cooking is greatly reduced through the use of the Pego Cutting Board. It incorporates a perforated surface and a collection of pushpins that suffice to secure whole vegetables in place for one-handed food preparation.

This design by Rowan Williams frees up five extra fingers for those who can manage impressive culinary multitasking. For the rest of us, it serves most significantly to keep your digits at a distance from your knives.

Several pegs can be arranged quite quickly and easily to surround potatoes, carrots, apples and more, so that nothing will roll away. If organized really cleverly, the Pego Cutting Board system allows you to dice swiftly without any need to pause and reposition. Once you're finished, you can stow the Pego Cutting Board accessories inside of the base.
