The CleverOne™ (Board): The Perfect, Original Gift
(Gerry Furth-Sides) You almost have to see and feel the Nflex™ from CleverOne to understand how what it is and how it works. It is pliable and light and much thinner than a substantial cutting board. The underside is non-slip even on a granite counter. Not only that, but you can flip it over and use the silicone as a trivet for hot pans. It is ideal for cooking ethnic food, which often requires extensive vegetable and meat chopping, and is served in the form of a stew or casserole.
The newNflex™ from CleverOne™ was designed to eliminate the problems of raditional wooden cutting boards, which of course lack flexibility. They’re hard to fit into your sink. When it comes to washing wood cutting boards, they’re unwieldy. They take up counter and storage space. And they lack pourability.
Flexible hardwood. WoodNflex fuses real, hardwood veneers in maple, oak and walnut with a food-grade silicone backing to create a beautiful, flexible, stable cutting surface. WoodNflex is the world’s first hardwood cutting surface that’s flexible, making it easy to carry and pour chopped items so it hs portability. It is available in both Walnut and Oak hardwood species.
It is super-easy easy to wash because it is flexible and light, bending to fit easily into a sink for easier scrubbing and sanitizing. It must be treated before using the first time with standard linseed oil or mineral oil, as you would a traditional cutting board, to keep the hardwood surface ready to chop. We used olive oil, and it worked just fine.
Small footprint. At just over 1/8” thick and flexible, it stores easily, and doesn’t have to live on your countertop, like some massive hardwood boards. It can tuck away neatly into your cabinets. The Hybrid design ofwoodNflex fuses hardwood veneer with food-grade silicone. This protects your countertop and provides a sanitary, non-slip cutting surface. Chop space. woodNflex is available in two sizes, including 11” x 14” and 14” x 18”, allowing plenty of room for simple or more complex meal preparation.
The company started “in the kitchen” with CleanCutting Sheets, with disposable bamboo cutting sheets. This helped minimize cross-contamination eliminated the spread of bacteria in the kitchen because after meat or veggies were cut, germs were “tossed out” with the sheet. Because they’re steam-pressed, highly renewable, biodegradable bamboo, they’re guiltlessly disposable.
Dedicated to developing innovative new products to make every area of home life safer, simpler and cleaner, CleanCutting Sheets and woodNflex are just the start of CleverOne™ Brands,output. For more information on products, please visit CleanCutting Sheets & woodNflex.
