Have you ever frustratingly smudged your smartphone or tablet with olive oil, trying to get a recipe pulled up so you know the next step? It’s inevitable that this happens, as there’s usually not a great place to prop it up so you can read along as you cook. We’ve long been fans of cookbook stands, but what is the solution in the world of digital recipes?
That’s where the Teakhaus Reversible XL Cutting Board with Smartphone/Tablet Cut Out comes into play. This nifty cutting board is double-sided. One side has juice canals along the parameter to catch any liquids from ingredients you’re prepping or cutting, while the other side has a unique feature – a cutout at the top to house your smartphone or tablet. You can pull up a recipe, hit that “cook mode” button on the recipe card to keep the screen from going dark, and you won’t need to gum up your device ever again.
How to Care For the Board
Not only is this cutting board super nifty, but it’s made from high-quality teak wood that’s FSC-certified sustainable. It should be cleaned by using warm soapy water and drying it thoroughly. It can be disinfected and deodorized by rubbing salt into it with half a lemon, then drying it. And it can be oiled and conditioned with food-grade mineral oil if needed. Wooden cutting boards should never be placed in the dishwasher.
This XL cutting board has a sizable amount of space, measuring at 23 x 19 x 1.5-inches. The sheer amount of prep room allows you to chop, slice and dice multiple different foods.

What Are Fans Saying About Teakhaus?
Cooks are going wild for the dual-use teak cutting board. In fact, many users love the look of it so much they house it right on their countertop. “This cutting board is of excellent quality and it’s so beautiful that I keep it on my counter. Friends and family have complimented it many times”, said one fan.
“The surface is large enough to chop any vegetables or slice pizza, and I can flip the cutting board over when working with juice-filled vegetables; the groove on the other side catches the juices, allowing me to add those to the recipe or stock I’m making. This cutting board is simply the best I have ever had”, said a customer.
“I’ve been researching wooden cutting boards for quite some time and America’s Test Kitchen rated the Teakhaus board their top pick, so I was excited to see this at Costco. It’s very large, but makes it easy to chop and prep a whole meal on one board instead of multiple smaller plastic ones”, stated one more.
Costco is selling this highly-rated board for $69.99. If you’re in the market for a new, upgraded cutting board and use your device to follow recipes often, this may be the winner.
