I love this cutting board! I used it for the first time yesterday for a day-long food prep session. The board and containers were easy to set up & easy to use. I got into a rhythm fairly quickly as I learned the best series of motions to be most efficient for what I was doing.
It made the prep time enjoyable and go by quickly. I haven’t used the upper-level bins yet, but I went ahead and purchased a 1/3-size pan (4″ deep, not 6) to fill the entire upper level. This will give me flexibility in how I use that area. — Michele D. Sharik
This device can also be used to peel the skin from potatoes, and shred and slice cheese and vegetables. The bowl will catch the corn kernels/potato peels. And the nice non-slip silicone ring at the bottom will safely keep the bowl in place. Dishwasher-safe.

A clever idea. I don’t normally use a standard peeler. I find them unwieldy, but these give me much more control. The pack of 4 made it possible to give my daughter a couple. Win/Win. — wjmouse
