Chopping, dicing and prepping food can sometimes be a tireless task. An easy to use, smartly designed cutting board can make that task more efficient. Target’s new 2-in-1 cutting board is the kitchen solution people want.
Several tools are kitchen essentials. While people have plenty of knives, pans and even bakeware, one item can be overlooked. Without a cutting board, meal prep is impossible. After all, no one should cut food on a kitchen counter.
Available at Target, this 2-in-1 cutting board is dual sided. One side is stainless steel, and the other side is wheat straw. The 16 inch by 11 inch size is big enough for most tasks, yet it feels compact enough to fit in most space. Plus, the built-in handles make it easy to maneuver, and they allow it to be hung on a wall.
Currently priced at $25.99, which is 35% the original price, the kitchen tool is a bargain. With two distinct sides, cooks can avoid cross contamination. The stainless steel side is perfect for chicken, pork or other proteins. The natural wood side is ideal for fruits, vegetables and even bread.

Recent reviews are overwhelmingly positive. One person appreciated the dual sides and said, “Very practical and functional for daily use I really liked this cutting board because it combines two materials in one: stainless steel on the one hand and organic wheat on the other.”
The compact size is another selling feature. Specifically, reviewers felt that it is “neither too big nor too small.” Anyone who has tried to haul a heavy cutting board understands how cumbersome it can be.

One user found a hidden feature that was not highlighted in the product description. The great tip said “the little textured corner is great for quickly grating garlic or tomato.” Since quick, efficient meal prep is a priority for many cooks, this hack is must easier than grabbing a Microplane, grater or other kitchen gadget.
Lastly, this 2-in-1 cutting board is easy to clean. Although reviewers recommend hand washing, the scratch resistant stainless steel side is durable and is designed to be odorless. For anyone who uses spice rubs or other seasonings on protein, that quality is important.
The combination of the price, versatility and durability of Target’s 2-in-1 cutting board makes it a must buy. If meal prep is a priority, cooks will appreciate the efficiency that it offers.
