We would like to introduce you to a kitchen gadget, which we have received from Van-Zubehör.de. To be honest and transparent right at the beginning of this article, we did not buy the board ourselves and are not getting any money for this post. We also do not keep the board itself! We want to give our opinion, without an outside influence, on everything we try.
The basic idea is great, you have a cutting board which fits on the stove in the Grand California and can thus widen the work surface. This is how we had understood this product.
The board fits perfectly on the Dometic stove. The first questions arose when we saw that the board does not go across the entire width of the stove. The manufacturer is transparent at this point and responded to our question that the board should only be stowed on the stove and the stove itself should not be used for cutting. So, of course, we had a wrong assumption about the product as such. Because it is not suitable for use on the stove, it tilts as soon as you want to cut something on it and of course it happens that the chopped falls on the stove.
After the consultation, we make a different judgment here than we would have without the information from the manufacturer, because as a cutting board as such, it gets 8 out of 10 stars, great workmanship and a good size, plus it can be stowed and transported as a gimmick on the stove. The question to ask then, is it a cutting board for the Grand California or simply a cutting board that can be stored on the stove. I don’t think we’re alone in saying we thought it was meant to cut on the stove. Whether the price of 60 Euros is justified at this point is something everyone has to decide for themselves. The material is valuable and the workmanship super. Of course, since it is solid wood, it is also correspondingly heavy. A “normal” cutting board is not much cheaper and those who have little space in their cupboards will find a great solution here.
