# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means you're not stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is enjoying the opening credits
  • It looks fancy and thoughtful without any fuss, making you seem like you actually planned this
  • Everyone finds something they love because there's such variety—no more compromising on snacks
  • It's endlessly customizable, so you can theme it around whatever movie you're watching or whatever your guests prefer
02 -
  • Arrange everything no more than 30 minutes before serving—fresh elements start to look tired quickly, and popcorn begins losing its appeal. The texture and visual appeal are everything with a board like this
  • Always pat your grapes and vegetables completely dry before arranging. Moisture is the enemy of a beautiful board; it makes everything look less appetizing and causes items to stick together
03 -
  • Chill your serving board in the freezer for 10 minutes before assembling—this keeps cheeses and fresh foods looking crisp longer and prevents condensation from making everything look soggy
  • Use small forks or tongs next to the board. It sounds unnecessary, but it actually encourages people to take more intentional bites and keeps fingers off shared foods, making the whole experience feel more elegant
