Abstract
A sanitary, dishwasher-safe perforated cutting board that may enable liquids to pass through, and may be used with or without a fitted tray to facilitate the cutting of meats and rinsed vegetables without the resulting in meat juices and vegetable drippings on the counter. The cutting board may be used as a cutting board or as a cutting board and sieve when placed in a sink for cutting fruits and vegetables in the sink. Bumps found on the bottom of the cutting board or in a fitted tray may create a rigid cutting surface while providing channels through which liquids can pass. These bumps may enable the cutting board to be flexible, yet rigid when placed on a flat surface.
