Tray Chic

Peter D’Alessandro’s Waste and Want cutting board has detachable trays on its ends, one tray for waste and the other for, yeah you guessed it, the food you want. Everybody can identify with the frustrations of regular cutting boards; they’re too small for you to cut up all the ingredients at once so you have to do a lot of ingredient transfer. When those transfers take place, things tend to fall on the ground and you almost certainly get your hands dirty. The Waste and Want board pretty much eliminates those difficulties by providing non-messy, spill-proof containers in which to carry your culinary cargo either to the trash can or to the pot. Actually, it looks like Mr. D’Alessandro has made something of a career out of finding clever ways to do commonplace kitchen tasks, check out his website to see his other gadgets, including a spoon, which boils its own water.
