The bamboo cutting board was made to grip things like a lemon, Brussels sprout, or mushroom and keep it from rolling while cutting. Flip it over for a fully smooth surface. When a dish is done, the two-in-one pot holder combines two gripping surfaces so you can always have the best hold on what you’re pulling out of the oven.
