We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities across Australia, and their Elders past and present.

Adaptive food prep board

What is a food prep board?

An adaptive food prep board.Adaptive food prep board

An adaptive food prep board has handy attachments and built-in features that make holding, controlling, and chopping food easier.

Protective covers and multi-use features like stainless steel spikes, clamps, and knife guides, mean you can safely prepare food without worrying about food getting away from you or the knife going off course.

An adaptive food board is useful if you are one-handed, have a hand tremor, experience weak grip, or lack arm strength. They also reduce the effort of chopping, which makes it easier to prep food in one go.
