Folding Wings That Funnel Food
The wings are the working feature, not just decoration. Chop on the flat board, then fold the wings up toward each other and the board becomes a trough that guides food into a pan, pot or bowl, with nothing escaping over the sides. It is the detail most people single out, from a gift recipient who calls it helpful and cool to an owner who says it means everything finally lands in the pan. Folding plastic boards like this work best with firm, chopped ingredients such as onion, pepper, carrot or herbs; very wet ingredients can run along the fold, so tip them over a bowl rather than the stovetop. The flexibility also makes the board easy to bend under a running tap when rinsing.
