Cooking a meal can lead to a lot of mess in the kitchen and any innovation that reduces that mess is certainly worth a look.
This chopping board from Umbra aims to fix the problem of mess when chopping lots of vegetables by combining a regular chopping board with bento box inspired design.
Below the board sits a number of bento inspired draws allowing users to literally store ingredients as they're chopped.
The draws can be easily taken out when adding ingredients to the pan and they also double as measuring cups.
The Umbra Bento costs $39.99 and is available from the Shopping Channel.
Rather than just being faux-meat, Mamu is different. It's a mushroom-based meat alternative that's getting its launch in restaurants so that chefs can test its versatility. Flora Tsapovsky investigates.
