Abstract
A cuttingboard for kitchens and the like is provided wherein a generally planar cutting surface is adapted for positioning directly over a sink basin. A flange depends from the front side of the cuttingboard for abutting engagement with the counter top of a conventional kitchen sink area for purposes of stability. An aperture is provided adjacent the aft side of the planar portion and in a position to underlie a conventional faucet of a kitchen sink when the cuttingboard is appropriately positioned. A wire basket is similarly provided for secured positioning in the aperture while depending into the sink for holding foods therein. In this manner, the foods being prepared may be stored, washed and/or strained with maximum efficiency and minimal inconvenience.
