Whenever I cut fruit, there’s always an excess of juice that flows out. And even though I have a cutting board with a groove that collects it, I’m forced to wash it down the drain because there’s no easy way to siphon it off the cutting board. But recently, I discovered Food52’s Bamboo Cutting Board that’s designed to collect and perfectly pour out those run-off juices, so nothing goes to waste.

This double-sided cutting board comes with a juice groove that funnels all excess liquid to one corner, making it easy to pour and utilize in your cooking (buy it: Food52, $59). While the unique feature was designed for fruit juice, it’s also a great function for cooked meat. You could easily take the flavorful run-off juices from a chicken and turn it into a delicious pan sauce. 

On the other side of this cutting board is another fun feature: a phone slot. This phone slot is great if you need to follow instructions as you’re learning how to cut produce like pineapples or avocados. It also works well if you’re following along with a video tutorial, but make sure your eyes are always on the knife when you’re cutting (and learn why it’s actually safer to have a sharp knife). 

This cutting board would be a useful addition to any kitchen with its fun, practical features (buy it: Food52, $59). It would also make a great gift for anyone learning how to cook (read: someone who needs to look at recipes frequently). Either way, this double-sided cutting board has something for everyone!
