One of the great products I picked up at the RV show last month<\/a>\u00a0was a set of\u00a0flexible chopping mats<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

I had three cutting boards, none of which worked in Miranda’s kitchen. The first was too small, the second one the wrong shape, and the last too big. \u00a0I was in the market for a big cutting mat that I could use over the stove cover, which I could stand up in one of the sinks to dry, and which wouldn’t take up much room. I was also in the market for hot pads or something similar, on which to rest hot pots. Can you believe that this is what the perfect solution looks like?<\/p>\n

I had initially planned to roll up the mats and stuff them in a cupboard, but they fit beautifully on the BBQ lighter hook!<\/p>\n

A side benefit of these mats is that you can create a sort of funnel with them to trap the food and guide it into the pan without it scattering all over the place.<\/p>\n

Tonight was the first time I was glad that they come in a set of two. While I chopped up some melon on one, I was able to rest an extremely hot dish on the other. Both have been in use since the RV show and have been subjected to cutting, burning, and rolling, with no evidence of ill use whatsoever.<\/p>\n

This amazing product costs less than 2$. Amazon<\/a>\"\"\u00a0sells them for 1.95USD, but I picked mine up for 1.50CAD at the RV show (where things were slightly cheaper than retail). What a bargain!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
