Abstract
The present invention 10 discloses a cutting board having multiple cutting surfaces 20, 48, and 66 for use in different applications. A porous cutting surface 20 is used when working with any food product that tends to purge fluids 46. This top allows the natural juices from the food product 14 to pass through the cutting board 20 via holes 22 and into a holding container 30, rather than running off the sides. A trap door cutting surface 48 is for general use with a wide variety of purposes. The trap door 50 allows the user to quickly remove products from the cutting surface via hole 56 and send directly into the holding container 30. A cold cutting surface 66 comprises a cutting surface 66 with a thin metal conductor plate 68 within it, that when placed over a provided ice gel pack 70 contains a cool temperature while being worked on.
