# Sieved Slicing Surfaces The Sink Drainer Cutting Board Strains Juicy Fruits and Vegetables By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-12-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sink-drainer-cutting-board References: [uncommongoods](http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/sink-drainer-cutting-board) Not every culinary concoction is made better by the addition of veggie juice and leftover rinsing water, which is where the Sink Drainer Cutting Board comes in handy. The clever product incorporates its own perforated plug to allow you to strain your succulent ingredients before tipping them into the skillet. The smooth bamboo surface is perfect for cutting fruits and vegetables into appropriate sizes for simple snacking or recipes. Beneath the faucet, smaller items like berries and grapes can be washed and sifted of excess H2O within the chopping board's silicone strainer. Meanwhile, the other half of the panel may rest securely on the side of the basin for dicing apples and melons. The Sink Drainer Cutting Board is convenient in use and compact in storage, as the sieve cup buckles within the wood's circular opening when not in use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sieved Slicing Surfaces:** Opportunity for innovative cutting boards that incorporate built-in strainers for easy food preparation. - **Perforated Plug Integration:** Potential for products that incorporate perforated plugs to strain ingredients before cooking or using them in recipes. - **Compact Storage Solutions:** Market potential for cutting boards that offer compact storage options, such as buckling sieve cups within the board. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for kitchenware manufacturers to develop cutting boards with built-in strainers and perforated plugs for easy food preparation. - **Home Appliances:** Potential for home appliance companies to create innovative products that integrate cutting boards with built-in strainers and compact storage options. - **Houseware Retail:** Market potential for houseware retailers to offer cutting boards with integrated strainers and perforated plugs, catering to customers looking for convenient and space-saving solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Preparation Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mudra-cutting-board.md) - [Portable Knife-Equipped Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baca-board.md) - [High-Performance Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-steelport-steelcore.md) - [Intelligent Preparation Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4t7-smart-chopping-board.md) - [Avocado-Shaped Vegetable Cutters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avo-multifunction-veggie-cutter.md) - [Multifunctional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latticeboard-multipurpose-kitchen-board.md) - [All-in-One Countertop Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countertop-workstation.md) - [Smart Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versaware.md) - [Hybrid Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viking-acacia.md)
