Now seriously, why has it taken mankind so long to make such a simple improvement to the wooden cutting board? Chop was created by French designer Patrick Jouin for Alessi’s Fall & Winter 2010 collection, and simply adds a concave groove around the rim that allows you to slide a plate below the cutting surface and easily scrape chopped food onto it. Unfortunately it’s $100, but fortunately it looks like it’s less complicated to make than a grade school wood shop project. Now where’s my router?

You could just lift the chopping board above the plate… Just saying
— yes, simple but smart idea
As Stephen mentioned, just lift your chopping block over the plate…
WOW! SIMPLY INNOVATED. or should I say REINVENTED? great stuff, but the price is not that great due to its simpleness. However, in credit to the mind behind this, 100 is a low one.
This is so simple that it makes my head ache. Why haven’t I thought of this?! OH well. Hey, lifting the chopping board is still a good thing to do. You get to exercise your muscles a bit. But still it’s a way too obvious innovation that got me thinking why did it take that long for someone to think of this idea?
Great idea! I want one, but made of plastic.
