WonderTop Stainless Steel Food Prep Station Review and #Giveaway


        As most of you know, I come from quite a long restaurant background and more than just managing them but traveling around the country improving failing locations and providing training to all levels.  I loved doing this as it gave me the knowledge and experiences that I would have never had the opportunities to have otherwise.  It has however, had a few negative impacts when it comes to my personal life now.

WonderTop:  includes free cutting board
        I am more than just a picky, compulsive home kitchen chef.  I find myself with some pretty obsessive preferences as well as find myself judging every aspect of both my own kitchen and friends of mine.  I am very particular about the tools I use, how things are prepared, keeping up with health standards, and overall cleanliness in any kitchen.  One of those particulars has always been a need for stainless steel throughout my kitchen.

        This isn't like the average home owner who enjoys the look of stainless steel, it is so much more for me.  The use of stainless steel in a kitchen has tons of benefits.  Not only does it clean much easier than most other surfaces (ie. wood, acrylic) but it prevents bacteria from developing in the cracks and crevices like it can with those others.  I love to cook, grill, bake anything and especially from scratch with the freshest and healthiest ingredients I can find.

        When I cook, which is at least five days or more a week, my kitchen can seem chaotic to outsiders since you will find tons of tools, bowls, and cutting boards around on the counter.  I do this because again, I have specific utensils I prefer to use but also to prevent any cross contamination throughout my process.  And forget the whole process of grilling since transferring things inside and out is completely ridiculous.

        I was beyond thrilled when I was stumbled upon the company WonderTop while looking for products for the kitchen at the new house.  I then was even more excited to find out that they are a Michigan local brand.  I knew this was a brand I had to work with!  The WonderTop is a large, movable stainless steel food prep station.
        If you cook anything from scratch or even grill outdoors frequently, this is a must have for you!  Made from 201 stainless steel which is the same kind used in commercial kitchens throughout the country, the Wondertop is completely portable with pads underneath to prevent it from moving while in use.  After tons of testing in different kitchen sizes, the crew decided it's most functional size is at just under 17" x 21".

        My favorite part though is the front containment ridge in addition to the three sides.  These keep any and all liquids, crumbs, excess trimmings, and anything really from spilling or cross contaminating other areas of your kitchen.  It can actually over 50 oz. of fluid.

        I even discovered another use for the WonderTop over this past week as I had to prepare for the 6 year old birthday party of the year!  I created an awesome display of cupcakes and center cake for my child's Alien themed party.  I made a center flying saucer with aliens surrounding it.

        My major issue which I even had last year with our T-Rex cake, was transporting this once baked and frosted to a birthday location.  Thankfully this year I was able to not only transport to and from the bowling alley we were at without damage but there was more than enough room compared to say your unstable cookie sheets.

        I love using this for just about everything you can imagine but my favorite has been homemaking pizzas since it contains all the flour while pressing out my dough.  I love finally having a way to keep my kitchen clean while cooking up one of our favorites.  I cannot wait to use this while camping over the coming summer or for all my grilling once the weather gets warm!

Available to purchase/Cost:  $99 WonderTop
Recommendation:  If you couldn't tell by now, I definitely recommend purchasing this for your home.  It is worth every penny and more.  I actually have to say I am thinking long and hard about purchasing several more of these for my kitchen and finished basement bar area.

  5. My favorite meal to make is Shrimp Scampi. I use jumbo shrimp, butter, garlic, fresh ground pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. I generally serve it over thin spaghetti, just because that is my family's preference.

  9. I really like the room of the stainless work surface it provides. I use my kitchen from baking to roasting and prep. This product would provide an additional work surface to use in different areas of cooking. I really love this product.

  10. The WonderTop would be great for clumsy me. I am always spilling things or losing whatever off of my baking sheets. I love that this is stainless steel--my mother told me years ago not to use any other metals in the kitchen but stainless steel. Yes, I have listened to her and I think this WonderTop could be an essential addition to my kitchen.

  11. This would be great for our kitchen. I'd use it every day for preparing our dinner. Since my fiance works until 7:30PM and I am a stay-at-home dad, I usually do the cooking for dinner and this would keep all the stuff contained inside and be easy to really clean and sanitize.

  13. For me, this is perfect. I do dog/cat rescue and always have a herd of cats, some of them inside. I've given up trying to keep them off of things(counter)as I would have to sit sentry all night long. With Wondertop it would give me a clean work area any time I needed.
