Kitchen revolution on 25cm: This folding miracle solves your biggest space problem

Anyone who enjoys cooking and has a small kitchen knows this frustrating compromise: Either you make do with a tiny cutting board where everything falls off, or you sacrifice precious space for a massive block of wood that's always in the way. When we came across the DUTCH 3-in-1 folding cutting board at Kaufweise, we were thrilled. A product that promised to solve precisely this problem. Was this the revolution we'd been waiting for? We found out in an endurance test.

Luxury on demand: The board offers a huge work surface and can be stored away to save space.

One board, three brilliant identities

The true genius of this board lies in its transformative ability. It adapts to the entire cooking process—from basic preparation to elegant serving.

1. The massive chopping block

When folded (25x35 cm), it forms a 4 cm thick, sturdy block . Perfect for high-powered tasks like chopping meat or hard vegetables. Nothing slips here.

2. The XXL cutting board

When unfolded, it transforms into a massive 50x35 cm work surface . Finally, enough space for rolling out dough, carving a roast, or preparing several ingredients at once – without creating a mess.

3. The elegant serving plate

The beautiful grain of the teak makes the unfolded board an eye-catcher on any dining table . Ideal for serving cheese, antipasti, or grilled food.

Live in action: The unboxing video

A short video is worth a thousand pictures. See for yourself how well-packaged the board is and how easy the transformation is.

The secret of transformation: material & technology

Two things make this transformation possible and set the board apart from all others:

1. The soul of the board: 100% solid teak

The choice was deliberately made for teak, a precious wood famous for its high natural oil content. This makes it:

• Extremely durable & water-resistant: Where other woods warp or crack, teak remains remarkably dimensionally stable.
• Incredibly easy to care for: It doesn't dry out as quickly and needs to be oiled less often than other types of wood.
• Surprisingly gentle on knives: Despite its hardness, teak offers a yielding surface that protects the sharpness of your valuable knives.

2. The heart of the case: Robust stainless steel hinges

The folding mechanism isn't flimsy. Solid, precision-crafted stainless steel hinges ensure a smooth transition between modes and guarantee that the board is absolutely stable and secure both when closed and when opened.

More than just a board: The perfect gift

The thoughtful design doesn't end with the product itself. Delivered in a sophisticated, matte black gift box , it's the ideal gift for any home cook, grill master, or design lover struggling with space constraints. It's a gift that says, "I understand your passion—and your problem."

Conclusion: Is it worth the investment?

A cutting board for €69.99? At first glance, that might seem like a lot. But you have to put it in context: A comparably sized, solid chopping block or an XXL board made of premium wood often costs well over €200 – and serves only one function while constantly taking up valuable space.

The DUTCH 3-in-1 isn't just a cutting board; it's an investment in functionality, quality, and, above all, space. It replaces three high-quality kitchen utensils and packs down into the size of a single, compact cutting board.

Verdict:

For ambitious cooks who don't want to compromise in their (small) kitchen, this folding cutting board is a revelation. It's a brilliant, unique solution to an everyday problem. It combines masterful craftsmanship with smart, space-saving design. In our opinion, it's not just worth the money—it's a true game-changer.
