This 2-in-1 preparation station by NiHome features a dual-polymer construction designed for high-efficiency cleaning and chopping. The frame is made from food-grade polypropylene, while the integrated, detachable colander utilizes thermoplastic rubber for its collapsible functionality. This combination allows for a direct "cut-to-drain" workflow that helps keep smaller countertops clear of food scraps and rinsed produce.
Specifications indicate that the board is 17.7 inches long, fitting best on sinks with a ledge depth of at least 0.5 inches to ensure secure seating. While the polypropylene surface is highly resistant to food acids, it is designed for standard meal prep rather than heavy-impact chopping. To maintain the seal between the colander and the board, it is helpful to hand wash the unit or use lower-temperature dishwasher cycles, as extreme heat can affect the bond between the different plastics.
