The patent-pending Blok Smart Cutting Board, recently launched on Kickstarter, combines a prep surface with a digital display that offers chef-led live and on-demand cooking classes that can be shared socially.
Blok comes with a docking station with speakers to stream audio from live or on-demand cooking classes and a microphone to communicate with other participants in the class. The digital display is scratch-resistant, waterproof and removable for cleaning. Blok’s cutting board and docking station are controlled via smartphone app on which users can order ingredients for their classes from delivery companies while taking dietary restrictions and health goals into account.
“With the rising popularity of digital fitness communities, and our increased desire to cook at home, my wife and I realized there wasn’t anything in our kitchen that offered a community cooking experience integrated into a sleek piece of hardware. So we created one,” said Blok co-founder Tony Frick. “Blok is so much more than a smart cutting board, it’s a fully-immersive, highly-engaging culinary experience with friends and family led by expert chefs.”
Blok is set to go into production and will be delivered to Kickstarter backers in the first quarter of 2022.
