"COOKING IS POETRY, IS ART, AND IS LOVE."
"NOT ONCE REGRETTED IN 6 YEARS.
In January 2018, we decided—admittedly after some hesitation about the price—to buy a Frankfurter Brett.
For six years now, our board has been a central part of every kitchen we've set up through several moves.
Our board is the heart of the kitchen and is actually used every day:
Two metal containers are always attached at the front and serve as an easily accessible sink for everything that is no longer needed and can be discarded in everyday kitchen life.
Meanwhile, two Easy Pads have also joined the equipment. If you love your things, you take care of them—and these Easy Pads reliably prevent small scratches that aren’t “wrinkles” and don’t tell a story. They are definitely easier to clean than the board itself.
Our “Frankfurter” has simply become indispensable in our daily kitchen routine. Cooking is poetry, is art, and is love—and it’s with this mindset that we choose our tools.
The evening begins on our “Frankfurter” with the first cut of the vegetables and ends when we set the empty wine glass down on the board, wipe away the crumbs, and the echo of a successful evening with friends and good food lingers as the kitchen light goes out.
Nothing more is needed.
And that’s why we can wholeheartedly recommend our Frankfurter Brett:
Even after years, it remains our most important kitchen tool for preparation and will continue to be for years to come.
We occasionally add some accessories and enjoy it every day.
Oh yes—the second best idea from the “Frankfurters” after the board is, by the way, the “Kulinarium”!

"PURE WELLNESS."
"I have had a Frankfurter Brett for 2.5 years. An absolute dream of mine.
This month, I used the Workshop-Service for the first time and treated the board to a wellness treatment.
You only realize how much you love and need something when you no longer have it:
Every day I wondered how people can cut on conventional boards and where they put their waste and scraps.
I use the Basic with oak end grain and stainless steel containers.
I like how it looks and how it beautifies my kitchen.
For fish, garlic, and fruit, I use the Easy Pads mat, although I prefer to cut on wood and sometimes just place a thin wooden board on my Frankfurter Brett.
The best part is simply that the order and appearance make me feel a bit like a professional chef.
Pure wellness.
P.S.: The Workshop-Service is absolutely recommended. The board came back in top condition with new rubber feet. I am completely satisfied with the result; the surface is very well worked and sealed."

"THE BOARD FOR THE CHAOTIC WOMAN."
"I love food.
I love cooking.
But I rarely have much time for elaborate things.
When I do take the time now and then, all the Frankfurt equipment comes into play: the board, many Containers, Easy Pads.
For everyday cooking, mostly one-pot recipes from a meal kit, the board, 2 Containers, and sometimes the small Easy Pad are enough.
The Frankfurt block with all the knives is always there anyway.
The board helps me get a handle on the kitchen chaos I used to create regularly.
The workflows have become simple, waste no longer lies around, and nothing falls on the way to the stove.
One Container is enough: first for the onions, then for the vegetables, and finally the leftovers go in there and into the fridge.
I can, want to, and no longer have to do without the board…

"TURNS THE BALCONY INTO A COOKING OASIS."
"My BASIC now helps me almost daily in the kitchen, but not only there.
Thanks to its practical size, I can also use it well on the balcony in summer and quickly set up a small kitchen island outdoors with the right accessories.
Especially when I cook for friends or prepare several meals for the week at once, I don’t want to miss the combination of board and containers anymore!
Anyone who loves cooking will love this board!"

"HOW DID I LIVE BEFORE?"
Freshly moved from Hamburg to Frankfurt, I fell in love. First with a man and then with the Frankfurter Brett. And the Containers!
I use the Containers to store chopped ingredients until they go into the pan.
Sometimes I prepare my ingredients in the morning so that in the evening I just have to finish cooking everything.
The board is placed in a corner at our place, so because of its size, two people can easily work on it together.
When one cooks, the other usually stands around awkwardly in the kitchen.
This is cleverly avoided and just makes cooking more fun.
What I love most about the Console is that you can simply place your phone on it to watch Netflix or look up recipes.
Also, it gives me an overview of my ingredients, and the kitchen doesn’t look completely chaotic after cooking.
For someone like me, this is just perfect because I get overwhelmed by too much chaos. My inner Monk finds peace this way.
I can truly recommend the board from the bottom of my heart to anyone who loves cooking. I’ve had it for almost 2 years and don’t even know how I lived before.
Try it out for yourself!

"COMPLETELY HAPPY."
"I really enjoy cooking, but I have a relatively small workspace that quickly became so cluttered with large recipes that I didn’t know where to put everything.
I chop my vegetables and everything else and immediately have the scraps in the catch container and the vegetables in the other Containers.
I usually sort the ingredients by cooking time, so I only have to empty Container after Container into the pot.
Especially with dishes where there’s little time between steps, everything is cleanly prepared and within reach.
I’ve often heard of mise en place but never really managed to implement it properly—something I can finally do with the Frankfurter Brett.
This makes cooking less hectic, I can enjoy it much more, and even have a glass of red wine in between without stress.
After cooking, everything is quickly washed, a quick wipe over the board, some board care, and done.
I feel like my kitchen is much tidier not only while cooking but also afterward.
I’m completely happy 😅"

"A TOOL OF JOY!"
“The Frankfurter Brett is a huge deal for me and has brought a revolution to my small kitchen:
Instead of getting lost in a jumble of ingredients, the Frankfurter Brett with its additional storage and collection areas simply creates more space capacity and also a professional feeling.
The wooden surfaces protect the blade and the board is securely positioned. The limited juice groove is simply cleverly designed and provides convenient cleaning as well as quick clearing options.
The quality is excellent and the service for defects is exemplary.
I am truly enthusiastic and the board has become a tool of joy in my kitchen.”

"FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN!"
"We all cook at home, adults and children alike!
Sometimes even together. So good organization is required – and this board is simply perfect!
One person chops, another cooks... everything is organized in boxes!
We are fans of the HelloFresh concept and find it ideal for preparing these recipes! We couldn’t do without it anymore!
Care is easy, you just have to be thorough and the board won’t get damaged."

"FUNCTION & STYLE COMBINED - PERFECT!"
"I use the Frankfurter Brett in the Basic L version with green containers as well as the Console with knife sharpener – and I wouldn’t want to be without it!
In my open kitchen, it fits perfectly with the decor and at the same time provides a professional and, above all, immediately available workstation:
the knives are accessible with one hand thanks to the magnetic function on the knife sharpener, and important basic ingredients like coarse salt, shallots, or garlic are always ready in the Console.
My only wish would be for several sizes of the Easy Pads, which are sometimes too small or too large (but dishwasher-safe, which I find important for cutting chicken or fish).
Absolutely thumbs up, built to last forever!"

"SIMPLY WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD."
"As an enthusiastic professional chef, kitchen master, and proud owner of a Frankfurter Brett, I can only say:
Wow, what a practical kitchen tool!
The board is not only extremely sturdy and durable but also incredibly versatile.
Whether cutting vegetables with the cutting overlays or at a barbecue party as a MEP board with the GN Containers (which I also used during my master’s exam) – the Frankfurter Brett has simply become indispensable in my kitchen and beyond!
On a cold December evening, we had to hold our Christmas party virtually due to Corona and decided to cook a festive Christmas dinner together online. To my surprise, some of my colleagues had their own Frankfurter Brett in front of them, and we could watch each other chopping and preparing.
It was a successful evening not only because of the great board, but it definitely impressed my kitchen colleagues.
Especially if you don’t have enough space and need to organize well beforehand, the system of board, cutting overlays, Containers, and also the knife block with stand is simply priceless."

"I LOVE IT SO MUCH!"
"During the Corona retreat period, after much hesitation, I treated myself to a - yes, it is expensive - Frankfurter Brett.
The idea of working with small compartments directly on a beautiful wooden board with herbs and spices fascinated me.
It was still a small version with compartments on the back and front and the personalized name engraving 'Pias Kunstwerkbank'.
I also thought that was great; my heart opens every time I work on "my" board. I later bought Containers in metal and plastic, lids & board oil.
Yes, I also oil my board repeatedly, but by now it has scratches and cuts, also dark spots when something too hot was placed on it. But it’s precisely these signs of life that make it lively and unique, and I love it that way!"

"...AND THEN CAME THE WOW EFFECT."
Corona 2020 and Christmas! ...Unwrapping presents... me, a big gift from Juniors and my sweetheart (for 49 years)... heavy and well wrapped... even Grandma has to unwrap, of course as the second to last.
What could it be???
Nice, another board... camphor laurel stands in the kitchen and does the job too.
Do I really need this??? Then some time into the new year, I looked for a place, tried it out, rearranged... back and forth.
Well, then came the wow effect... it’s actually quite easy... so practical with the containers.
Yes, and what can I say, since then I have loved this board.
It’s always ready to use and soooooo great.
I use it daily... chopping fruit for my muesli in the morning and then of course for daily cooking.
And I really enjoy cooking, we especially love Mediterranean cuisine, so lots of chopping vegetables, etc.
And I’ll be 70 next week! So if not now, when? It’s never too late for practical kitchen helpers. And we live today and now.
With that, warm greetings to everyone!

"ONE OF THESE RARE TREASURES."
"In the world of kitchen utensils, there are many products called 'essential,' but only a few truly deserve that title. One of these rare treasures is the Frankfurter Brett.
I treated myself to the board for my milestone birthday as a practical, durable, and beautiful gift, and it exceeded my expectations.
Every time I use it, I am reminded of how much joy this gift brings me.
My personal conclusion: The Frankfurter Brett is an investment worth making.
It combines beauty with excellent craftsmanship and thoughtful functionality.
Whether for preparing or storing – this cutting board has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen.

"COOKING IS SO MUCH MORE FUN!"
"Originally, I bought the Mono board as a birthday gift for my boyfriend – who now uses it with great enthusiasm!
In my own small studio apartment, however, I find that the board can really show its strengths even better! So I quickly treated myself to a Mono as well :-)
When the two of us cook in my tiny kitchen, I can happily chop away at my spot while he’s already cooking.
When I’m done, I can tidy it up on the specially made cart and simply slide it under the bar table...!
What I also really love are the stainless steel containers – no stains, no odors, super easy to clean, and space-saving to store!
Really top-notch, even though some of my friends flinched a bit when they heard the price ;-)
I don’t want to be without it anymore; cooking (and especially prepping) is so much more fun!"
– ANJA M.

"ABSOLUTELY TOP - NEVER WITHOUT AGAIN!"
"I was absolutely thrilled from the start and still am after all these years! Never again without it!
I chose the Mono, mainly because I liked the idea that the board can be flipped at any time, so you basically have two boards ;)
The Mono just looks great and is exactly the right size for me.
I've had the board for several years now, it gets heavy use 1-2 times a week, and it still looks like new.
Since I currently have my board in the middle of the kitchen island, I can only use the Brackets on the front side, which is enough for me to separate waste and cut ingredients.
My accessories: the Console including the Frankfurter Block, which sits right behind the board for me, is enough to keep the most important ingredients within reach. Absolutely top-notch!
My conclusion: From the board to the Consoles to the Grub cloth – everything the Frankfurter Brett team offers is well thought out and of top quality!
I have never regretted a purchase and can wholeheartedly recommend everything mentioned above."

"AFTER FALLING IN LOVE, THE GREAT LOVE."
I fell head over heels for the videos. The board will move with me to the new apartment.
Starting fresh. Good resolutions.
New kitchen workspace. New daily routines with the Mono.
Perfect is the flexibly usable container hanger on two sides.
The Console N°4 and the shallow box hold what is frequently needed.
Thanks to the block, the knives are always sharp. Nothing has to be awkwardly dug out of drawers or cabinets.
It’s the honest everyday things I prepare with it.
And the Mono whets the appetite for experiments.
For two or four or eight, but just in everyday life and without much fuss.
The oral traditions from my mother’s collection are part of it too. They are now written down and illustrated in the Kulinarium.
Real and with grease splatters.
I never thought it possible, but after falling in love, it’s now the great love that I always enjoy looking at even after the work is done.

"GENTLY & SYSTEMATICALLY CHANGED."
"Cooking is one of the arteries that connect me to the world and to life.
My Frankfurt Phoenix made of maple is, alongside the refrigerator and the pantry, one of the essential bypasses.
Gently and systematically, it has transformed my kitchen work from mise-en-place to workflow, and with it, me as a cook.
What I appreciate about my personal workstation beyond its obvious qualities is its ability, thanks to its sheer size, to also serve excellently as a bakery work surface for pizza, bread, and other doughs.
Because it has grown so dear to my heart and hands, my Frankfurt was planned and situationally integrated during the remake of our kitchen.
When I cook elsewhere, I try to take not only my knives but also my board with me."

"MAKES COOKING A PLEASURE."
"I had been eyeing the Frankfurter Brett for a long time, and I have to say, my expectations were exceeded.
I prefer to use the board when I’m cooking elaborate meals and really taking my time, or when friends are visiting and we cook together.
The appealing look and practicality really let you dive into the cooking experience, allowing you to unwind and enjoy some quality time with yourself.
The best thing about the board overall is that it makes cooking a pleasure.
When I lay out the ingredients, take the good knife from the drawer, and throw the Gruben cloth over my shoulder, the whole process feels like a ritual for relaxation and meditation.
I would buy the board exactly the same way again. It’s an absolute eye-catcher that also impresses my guests. Of course, it comes at a price—but when I consider how many expensive kitchen appliances mostly just sit unused, the cost spread over the usage time after 5 years isn’t so high anymore—and it will only get “cheaper” in the future.
The Phoenix is a purchase for life."

"INDISPENSABLE IN EVERYDAY FAMILY LIFE."
"I am absolutely thrilled and completely in love with my Frankfurter Brett!
The combination of cutting board, knife block, and station is simply amazing.
Everything is well thought out and perfectly organized, making chopping much easier and more enjoyable.
I love how I can store my ingredients in the integrated, dishwasher-safe Containers right next to the cutting board – no more running back and forth.
The knife block keeps my favorite knives safe and within reach.
Especially in everyday life with my family, the board has become indispensable.
When I prepare dinner for the kids after a stressful day, I can immediately slide the freshly chopped vegetables into the Containers, and everything stays neat.
Highly recommended for anyone who values order and functionality in the kitchen!"

"MY MOBILE COOKING COMMAND CENTER!"
Phoenix from the ashes!
When I had to move, it was into a smaller kitchen with far too little workspace.
The Phoenix board was a real lifesaver.
Set up on a rolling cart, equipped all around with Console and containers, I now have a mobile cooking task force that lets me either look out the window while working or roll everything directly to the stove.
The flexibility with my Frankfurt boards and all the accessories is a dream!

"THE HEART OF MY KITCHEN."
"Vanguardia o morir … is laser-engraved on my Phoenix board.
The motto of my favorite chef Dabiz Muñoz.
At first, I was a bit hesitant to order the largest model, but I found the separation of board and station quite convincing.
And I was right!
It has become the centerpiece of my kitchen.
Like a rock in the surf, it sits firmly on the kitchen island.
Mise-en-place has never been this much fun.
Practically, the GN Containers where you can store waste and prepared ingredients.
I also really like that you can flip the board and it still sits just as well thanks to the centering blocks made of solid brass (even those are a feast for the eyes!).
Overall, I am very satisfied, have already gifted smaller versions, and everyone is equally enthusiastic.
Great craftsmanship from Hesse. Keep it up!"
– KAI B.
