We had one of these when I was a kid. We used it every summer, at a cottage we stayed at in the Adirondacks that had the smallest and most rustic of kitchens. Our 70's board didn't look like this of course. It was an ugly plastic thing.
So when Ivy and Christy recommended the over-the-sink-board idea to Maya to help her extend her kitchen counter space, I was flooded with nostalgia for the summer meals I helped my mother cook in that small kitchen. I went in search of the C&B model Christy mentioned, to see what they look like these days.
Hee. That's me; I'm glad I sparked something in someone. We used to have a chopping board with a slit down the middle to dump refuse into trash - it used to balance over the edges of the trashcan.
it's very mordern and useful.
may be a recovered memory but i thought there was a thing about how wood was actually most sanitary cutting surface. something counter intuitive like that. oh man, sorrya bout the pun
I read that too, Marge. Some group did a comparative study of plastic and wood cutting boards, and even without washing them (which they didn't recommend), a while after cutting meat on them, the wood boards had no bacteria left, while the plastic ones did.
