What is Funnelling food off a cutting board?

Funnelling food off a cutting board is when you guide food from one place to another using something that helps it slide smoothly.

Imagine you're playing with blocks on a table. If you push them all at once, they might tumble over or scatter everywhere. But if you use a ramp, like a little slide, the blocks go down one by one, neatly and easily. That’s what funnelling is like!

When you're cutting food, sometimes it piles up on the board. Using a funnel, which is like a cone-shaped helper, you can tilt it so that the food slides out in a line, just like how blocks go down a slide.

It’s easier to handle smaller amounts of food when they’re lined up neatly. This helps you cook better and faster! Just like how stacking your toys makes it easier to find what you need next.
