Give Your Charcuterie Boards Professional Flair With This Chic Offering Available At Costco

Given the vast quantity of digital ink spilled on how to arrange a charcuterie board for peak visual impact, it's kind of surprising that retailers aren't climbing over one another to market items like the one we just found at our favorite warehouse membership store, Costco. The Farberware Build-a-Board 2-piece Set seems like a simple, cost-efficient solution to just about every charcuterie issue we've been looking to troubleshoot. The set consists of two wooden charcuterie boards, one flat and one divided into six segments, each with a locking plastic lid. Costco customers are simply gaga for this party solution, and, honestly? We get why.

"Love this set, especially that one has no dividers and the other one does," one review gushed, going on to add: "Handles are so easy to use, keeps things secure but so easy to open. I like that I can prep these in advance and have them ready in my fridge for home use or take them to go." "Great if you go to a lot of parties," another buyer declared. "I was imagining something like these boards back when I was hauling around my appetizers to Thanksgiving dinner [...] They are light weight and the lid is very durable." The versatility of the boards was heralded by multiple reviews like this one: "These boards are extremely nice! They are a dream piece for entertaining on the deck or beach. Being able to cover a charcuterie board for outdoor entertaining is a game changer!"

Anyone who has assembled a charcuterie board — and, with the recent popularity of this entertaining staple, that's a lot of us! — knows that there are certain nitpicky issues inherent in this form of presentation. How to portion foods on charcuterie boards is a common problem, along with the logistical complications involved in making a board ahead of time. Since these boards are covered, and one of them is divided into segments, that's two issues knocked out right off the bat. The polished wood of the boards also makes for a visually impressive display, and even the lids are sleek and aesthetically pleasing. It's nice that there are two boards, giving you the means to cater a mid-sized get-together with ease. The price of $44.99 is also worth noting.

We can easily imagine using these boards all year long, from holiday festivities to birthday parties. That's to say nothing of special occasions that might arise, like showers or reunions. The flat board allows for a more freeform spread where you can get creative with presentation, while the divided board allows you to build mounds of foods that you want to keep separate, like juicy berries or soft cheeses that might absorb surrounding flavors. Best of all, if you need to transport your boards from one place to another, the lids will prevent you from creating a mess in your car ... which makes them worth their weight in gold, in our humble opinion!
