Prepdeck Gen 2 Recipe Prep & Storage Station - 8 Essential Tools + Deluxe Cutting Board, 14 Plastic Containers + Super-Seal Lids, Removable Trash Compartments, Tablet Stand Included - White Stone

SUMMARY: This PrepDeck2 is a smart-looking 2-tier kitchen shelf:(1) Built-in storage.(2) Optional expandable storage.(3) Clear modular stackable storage containers. Can buy more on Amazon UK.(4) Clear flat-bottomed shot-glass-sized cups.(5) USA measurements: oz, cups, mL.(6) Dual-use cover and seamless chopping board via; chopping board will show cut-marks over time.(7) Major tool types supplied. Blades are VERY sharp. Keep tools in its designed designated section, or store elsewhere for more storage.(8) Mobile phone clip-on stand.(9) Customisable - use a few, some or all the features. The more features you use the better value for money.(10) Expensive but worth it long-term; price factors in shipping from the USA.(11) Good for prepping ahead to make later assembling faster e.g. packed lunches, a salad bar, 'mise en place' for any meal.(12) Ideal for starter cooks as it comes with the major basic tools and food containers with measurements on them(13) Expensive if you already own the basic tool types and own food containers. However, what you're really paying for is the DESIGN which COMBINES tools/storage/containers/prep area into one organised footprint that's immediately to hand on your worktop. Recommended as it's worth it long-term.(14) It's too wide for some British fridges or can be awkward to move in/out.(15) The instruction booklet says no warranty outside USA and Canada.(16) Non-kitchen use too.Details below under headings ADJUSTABLE LENGTH; OPTIONAL FOOD WASTE SECTION;DUAL-USE COVER AND CHOPPING BOARD; FOOD CONTAINERS; TOOLS; MOBILE PHONE STAND; EASY TO CLEAN; INSRUCTIONS / NO WARRANTY; PACKAGING; OWN A PREPDECK1?; NON-KITCHEN USE.ADJUSTABLE LENGTH: Allowing for the two slide-out drawers to be extended, you need a very wide space, but at least when they're closed you can access them from the front.OPTIONAL FOOD WASTE SECTION: Designed so if wished you can put food waste into the longer pull-out section, but I prefer to put food waste into something that then goes into that section; I use a food-grade 1/4 size gastronorm tray 265x162x40mm, bought on Amazon, that fits well.DUAL-USE COVER AND CHOPPING BOARD: Seamless and large, attaches using magnets, but beware that (as with all chopping boards) cut-marks may be retained and will show over time. Lesson learned from PrepDeck1 so I don't use PrepDeck2's chopping board.FOOD CONTAINERS: Good quality. Non-slip silicone bases. Lid seals are airtight or as good as (keeps food fresh up to 2 days maybe 3). As sturdy as any good acrylic. Clear so you can see contents without having to open a box. Shows measurements (oz, cups, mL). Modular. Stackable. Ideal for a small or medium-sized family but if you need more you can buy PrepDeck2 containers separately on Amazon. Improvement on PrepDeck1 containers re airtightness and addition of non-slip bases; and though fewer boxes than PrepDeck1 there's greater capacity overall, plus PrepDeck2 has an XL container.TOOLS: 5 tools including combined tools. Blades are VERY sharp. Need to close-pack them and in the right order to fit the tool drawer. Improvement on PrepDeck1's tools - better design, somehow easier to use and handle, material feels more robust.MOBILE PHONE STAND: Optional clip-on. Adequate. Says takes up to 12 inch device.EASY TO CLEAN: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Oblong box bases and tools are advertised as dishwasherable, I'd say upper basket only. Rest is handwash.INSRUCTIONS / NO WARRANTY: Comes with illustrated instructions and a recipe for Taco Bar Tailgate. Says "Warranty is voided if used outside of the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia or the 10 provinces of Canada."PACKAGING: Well-packaged but not that environmentally-friendly as too many unnecessary plastic bags.OWN A PREPDECK1? I upgraded from PrepDeck1 to PrepDeck2, and I recommend upgrading as there are so many improvements in PrepDeck2 in quality, capacity, airtightness, storage access.NON-KITCHEN USE: Eventually I swapped my PrepDecks so I now have (again) PrepDeck1 in the kitchen, and PrepDeck2 as my main shelf/organiser on my craft desk. I confirm PrepDeck2 is good for both a kitchen worktop and a desk. As it's designed for areas with water and humidity it can also be used in a bathroom. Fellow-crafters, one of the PrepDeck2 tool slots neatly and exactly fits a standard craft ink pad; I store a glue bottle upside down in one of the flat-bottomed measuring cups in its slot; the (food) containers (being various sizes, modular, stackable) are ideal for various items whether for crafting or other use.
