The past few years have seen an appetizer board renaissance. From butter boards and dessert trays to classic platters of charcuterie and cheese, there are so many ways to get creative with your hors d’oeuvres. If we’ve learned anything from this trend, it’s that a grazing platter’s only limitation is your imagination, your budget, and the time and effort you’re willing to put into the presentation. All of these factors have historically meant that board design duty typically falls on the gathering’s host or on a guest who arrives early with separate ingredients and a blueprint in mind — but no longer. 

Thanks to this Farberware travel charcuterie board that’s been steadily climbing Amazon’s list of the most wished-for kitchen and dining items, guests and hosts alike can now take their masterpieces out of their dining rooms and into the world without fear of destruction, all for less than $30.  

Farberware Build-A-Board Bamboo Cutting Board with Clear Locking Lid

The portable charcuterie board’s reversible rectangular bamboo base is 11 inches wide by 14 inches long with a flat surface on one side for food prep and a flared edge on the other for serving. There are a few different styles – some with built-in compartments to separate nuts, meats, cheeses, veggies, and fruits, and some versions without – so pick the configuration that works best for you. Regardless of the design you choose, your board comes with a clear snap-on lid to keep food in its proper place while on the road. While the base is hand wash-only, the top is dishwasher-safe.  

Amazon shoppers love the flexibility, durability, and craftsmanship of the Farberware Build a Board and lid. One went so far as to call it a “genius” solution to all travel woes, while another added that the quality is “to die for.” Yet another reviewer wrote that even though they already own it, they “would buy it again.”  

This travel charcuterie board is an invaluable tool to have on hand if you’re often tasked with bringing food over to friends’ houses for intimate dinner parties or epic backyard barbecues. Snag yours now while it’s on sale at Amazon for $28.
