Abstract
A disposable and absorbent cutting board may be constructed from a layer of corrugations and an absorbent layer. The corrugations may be relatively small and tightly spaced to provide the board with strength and rigidity. The absorbent layer may be made of non-woven cellulosic fibers and include one or more score lines to facilitate folding. A backing layer may also be provided, on the layer of corrugations opposite to the absorbent layer, to provide non-skid oliophilic or hydrophilic properties.
Claims30
A disposable cutting board, comprising:
- a layer of corrugations;
- an absorbent layer attached to the layer of corrugations;
- and
- a score line provided in at least one of the layer of corrugations and absorbent layer.
A method of using a disposable cutting board, comprising:
- placing a cutting board atop a work surface;
- setting matter atop the cutting board;
- cutting the matter while the matter is atop the cutting board;
- folding the cutting board along primary score lines to form a trough;
- and
- dispensing the matter from the cutting board by tilting the trough.
A disposable cutting board, comprising:
- at least one layer of corrugations;
- an absorbent layer attached to a first side of the corrugations;
- a backing sheet attached to a second side of the corrugations;
- a first set of parallel score lines formed in the cutting board;
- and
- a second set of parallel score lines formed in the cutting board.
A disposable cutting board, comprising:
- a first layer;
- and
- a second layer, wherein the first layer allows for knife penetration without dulling the knife, the second layer requiring greater force to penetrate than the first layer.
A method of using a disposable cutting board, comprising:
- placing matter atop the board, the board including at least two layers;
- cutting the matter with a knife, the knife penetrating one of the layers forming serrations;
- and
- absorbing liquid matter into the board through the serrations.
