Dale says "I stumbled onto these items and they are some of the best surprises I have found. They are great for all cooks and especially for the visually impaired. I am proud to offer these to you and you can bet you will love them too! I certainly don't use kitchen gadgets that are poorly made or are not great for use by a blind cook. You should not either. I use these products all the time and they make preparing meals much easier!"
6 hard plastic chopping mats are included in this set; 4 colored large mats and 2 clear small mats.
They store and clean easily and can be used to funnel chopped foods into a bowl, pan, or pot!
I have tossed all of my other cutting boards in favor of these great mats.
