A cutting board, comprising:
- a cutting board surface for supporting a food workpiece for cutting, the workpiece providing drippings when being cut, the cutting board having four corners and four notches located alternatively therebetween along a periphery of the cutting board through which the drippings may pass;
- and
- a drip pan tray receptacle for receiving the drippings, the drip pan tray receptacle supporting the cutting board surface in a cutting position only at the four corners, thereby providing an unobstructed path through which drippings may flow into the drip pan tray receptacle.
A cutting board receptacle tray comprising:
- a drip pan tray receptacle including a base and four side walls defining an interior, the four side walls forming four corners;
- four support ledges located only in the four corners on the side walls in the interior of the drip pan tray receptacle;
- a cutting board including a cutting board surface for supporting a food workpiece for cutting, the cutting board having a rectangular shape with four corners and being received within the four side walls of the drip pan tray receptacle and supported by the four support ledges with the cutting board surface flush with a top edge of the side walls;
