A number of innovative and stylish breadboards have been developed to cut down on kitchen mess, it has been observed.The Guardian has set out its favourite chopping and slicing contraptions, including Chop2pot an ergonomic breadboard with a bendy design and handle.As the newspaper noted, the breadboard, which is available from josephjoseph.com for 11, makes it easy to dispose of breadcrumbs or tip vegetables into a pan thanks to its curved design.The ridged breadboard available from divertimenti.co.uk for 44.95 was also commended for the high quality of its wood and its slatted design which means an end to crumbs all over the kitchen floor.Meanwhile, those looking for a particularly hygienic breadboard were urged to go for the recycled chopping board available from ecochef.co.uk for 18. Made from recycled cardboard, the board is dishwasher-proof and non-porous so that it does not harbour bacteria, the newspaper said.It was also reported last week that a touchless kitchen tap has been invented by product designer Jasper Dekker which responds to hand gestures alone.
