One Hand Can Do Cutting Board
Designed by a Stroke Survivor for Greater Kitchen Independence
The One Hand Can Do Cutting Board was developed by a stroke survivor who understood firsthand the challenges of preparing food with the use of only one hand. Designed to support safer and more independent meal preparation, this innovative cutting board combines multiple food preparation features into a single practical workstation. The story behind the product aligns strongly with ASR’s commitment to sourcing products created to solve real-world accessibility challenges.
Featuring integrated food spikes, corner guards, grating surfaces and a bread holder, the board helps stabilise food during preparation, reducing the need for a second hand and supporting greater independence in the kitchen.
