Description
This multi-function Kitchen Workstation unit is designed to provide assistance with many day-to-day kitchen tasks.
Based around a tough, durable chopping board measuring 500 x 300mm, the workstation also features:
- A removable grater and slicer (with a protective cover) that collects the food with a minimum of mess and waste.
- A raised L-shaped corner measuring 130 x 95mm which can be used to hold bread and toast in place when food is being spread.
- Removable stainless steel spikes that can be used to hold fruit or vegetables in place whilst being chopped or peeled.
- A removable clamp that can open up to 110mm wide and hold any object such as food, tins or bowls in place. The clamp has a reversible edge which can be either flat or contoured.
The Kitchen Workstation has four non-slip suction pads that firmly anchor it in place, even in wet conditions. It is also dishwasher safe and all of its parts are removable and replaceable.
This is a fair design and needs big improvements. This product is not as safe as I would have hoped and there are many improvements that could be made to make it more accessible and safer as well.
The sharp nails do not have a cover, so when it is upside down it is very easy to forget it is there and I have been stabbed already. I am sure it will happen again to someone in this house as we navigate it’s effectiveness.
The cover that goes over the pealing area falls off frequently and that is absolutely frustrating. This cover serves as a guard so that people aren’t getting cut in transport. It falls off if the board is in any position other than down flat. When we need to turn it sideways to store it, the hassle begins.
The board itself could easily be made from an improved cutting mat material that is antibacterial, but it is not. Items still do slip off of the board because it is a plastic. Also cuts are seen easily in the board/plastic and do not self mend.
The suction cups are very small and don’t adhere well, we just stopped trying. The nonslip black plastic feet/bits underneath are acceptable but if they were larger it would be much more secure and safer for the user.
The wedge and crank area is okay, but as it only faces one direction it is difficult to navigate and it does come off too easily (the crank piece).
Basically I would love a shot to redesign this item as I had such high hopes and they have not been met. -Kyle’s mum
