Abbey Camp 2-in-1 Folding Cutting Board/Bowl – MORCOTE-008 – 8 Liters
The Abbey Camp Morcote is the ultimate space-saver for the mobile kitchen. This technically ingenious 2-in-1 system transforms in an instant from a flat, sturdy cutting board into a full-fledged bowl with a capacity of 8 liters. Whether you want to chop vegetables, wash ingredients, or do a small load of dishes, the Morcote offers the full functionality of two kitchen items in one compact package.
Technical Specifications and Construction
This hybrid kitchen item is made from a durable combination of Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). The base (which also serves as a cutting surface) and the top edge are made of reinforced PP for maximum stability while cutting and carrying. The accordion-style TPR section ensures a smooth transition between the different modes of use. When folded, the Morcote is only 4.7 cm high, while the unfolded depth is 23.5 cm.
The Morcote stands out thanks to several innovative features:
- Integrated Drain: The base features a convenient drain with a removable stopper. This allows you to drain water immediately after washing vegetables or doing the dishes without having to tip the heavy basin.
- Dual Use: When fully folded, you have a stable and hygienic cutting surface. By pulling up the sides, you create a deep basin that’s perfect as a sink or storage basket.
- Optimal Ergonomics: The cutting board is equipped with two handles for safe transport. One of the handles features a hanging hole, allowing the board to be hung vertically to dry or stored after cleaning, saving space.
- Non-Slip Stability: The reinforced bottom ensures the board remains firmly in place on the countertop or camping table while cutting.
For long-term preservation of the Abbey Camp Morcote, we recommend the following:
- Temperature: Use water with a temperature of no more than 60°C. This protects the flexible properties of the TPR rubber.
- Cutting: Use the central PP section as the cutting surface. The material is designed to withstand normal cutting motions, but avoid applying excessive force with serrated knives to maximize its lifespan.
- Cleaning: The Morcote is easy to clean with mild soapy water. Make sure to keep the drain plug and the edges of the drain free of food residue for a watertight seal.
- Storage: Dry the Morcote completely before folding it up. Using the hanging hole not only saves storage space but also promotes hygiene.
The Abbey Camp 2-in-1 Cutting Board/Bowl Morcote-008 is an essential item for the efficient camper. The smart integration of a drain plug into a foldable design makes this a technically superior product within the outdoor market. The objective verdict is that, thanks to its multifunctionality and extremely flat storage size, this item is an indispensable addition to any caravan, camper, or tent.
