Current hygiene standards suggest that several cutting boards are needed in the kitchen. They recommend that ingredients be grouped into meats, vegetables and processed foods; and that a separate board be dedicated to each group to minimise the cross-contaminations. I don't know about your kitchen, but mine is short on space as it is. As a result cutting boards often end up stacked, which doesn't seem to solve the issues of cross-contamination. Eva Solo has designed an elegant unit that offers a workable solution to both hygiene and space issues. The Eva Solo set includes three sweeping white cutting boards, each featuring an identifying icon in the corner. All dishwasher safe, A simplified steak marks the meat board, a graphic carrot identifies the vegetable board, while a knife and fork mark the prepared food board. When placed in the cylindrical aluminium holder, the boards layer to create a sophisticated wave like effect that easily reveals the identifying icon in the corner. The aluminium holder ensures that each board dries separately and prevents contact between them. A compact unit that you'll be happy to display on your counter, Eva Solo have created a fabulous design that captures the beauty in functional design. Eva Solo Cutting Boards are available from Amazon.co.uk for £58.50
