As I was cleaning the kitchen, I realised that I had forgotten about my Bodum chopping block. We are both taller than the Japanese Industrial Standard size, so cooking or washing dishes for a long time is quite tough. I had bought this because it makes the worktop 9cm higher, which might make it a bit more comfortable to cook. It was good to use it again after a long time. But with its size of 21x21cm it's not perfect for doing lots of chopping (cabbage for Chinese dumplings, for example).

It's small, but it weighs 2500g. That's probably the reason why it was hidden somewhere for a long time. I quite like the "2500g" stamp burnt into the wood, although it might have been more beautiful in a smaller font size. If I bought another chopping board, I would probably chose one by la base. I'm also curious about traditional Chinese chopping boards, but they're too expensive and too heavy for me and I would have storage problem.
