This ALDI $20 kitchen ‘must-have’ is the perfect Christmas gift—but not everyone agrees
- Replies 10
In the world of culinary trends and kitchen gadgets, there's always something new that promises to revolutionise how we cook and dine.
The latest buzz? A $20 kitchen item from ALDI that has shoppers declaring it a 'game changer.'
This isn't just any kitchen tool; it's a stylish addition to your steak night, causing quite the stir.
ALDI, known for its budget-friendly finds and unique products, has tapped into the trending 'carnivore diet' trend with a four-piece steak serving board set that's flying off the shelves.
Priced at $19.99, the Steak Serving Board with Steak Knife includes an acacia wooden board designed with a well to catch those flavorful meat juices, a high-quality stainless steel steak knife with a riveted handle, and two sauce pots for your favourite condiments.
For those who prefer a simpler setup, ALDI also offers a two-piece set without the sauce pots for the same price.
The carnivore diet, which has been gaining traction on social media, encourages a diet consisting solely of animal products—think meat, eggs, and dairy—while eliminating processed foods, carbs, fruits, and vegetables.
Proponents of this diet claim it can lead to weight loss, improved mental clarity, and better overall health.
Critics, however, warn that it lacks balance and may not provide all the necessary nutrients.
Regardless of where you stand on the diet itself, there's no denying that steak lovers are on the lookout for the perfect tools to enhance their meat-eating experience.
Social media personality Amanda (@thedaviesfam) showcased in a viral video, amassing over one million views.
‘I wouldn’t say this is a high-end, luxury set that’s going to last forever, but for $2, it’s an absolute steal. The quality is decent, and it’s a perfect and affordable gift or Kris Kringle for a steak lover,’ she said.
‘It requires more TLC to clean than a plate and would take up more space, so if you’re short on storage, it might not be ideal. It’s definitely more for those who enjoy a little extra flair when it comes to presenting their meals.’
However, not everyone is convinced. Some shoppers have expressed concerns about the wooden board being ‘smelly’, ‘hard to clean’ and ‘full of bacteria’.
The debate has spilled over to social media, with many questioning the necessity of such a product when plates have served us well for centuries.
'What's wrong with the half dozen plates I have in the cupboard?' one commenter asked.
‘Or hear me out… use a plate instead of paying $20 for a piece of wood,’ another said.
'Let’s normalise plates,’ another suggested.
‘If ever I get a meal on a wood block it is sent back to the chef, what’s wrong with a plate?’ a fourth queried.
‘Is this not just a chopping board?’ another remarked.
Despite the scepticism, Amanda defended the steak board, asserting that there’s ‘nothing wrong with a plate at all’, but steak simply 'tastes better on a board.'
‘There’s something about it that feels more rustic, more ‘steakhouse’, and it just adds that little extra something to the whole experience,’ she said.
‘Also, there’s something about sharing a juicy steak on a beautiful board that taps into that whole “food as an experience” vibe. It looks great, does the job and won’t break the bank.’
