Food preparation station

A food preparation apparatus including a basin floor with a sink having a drain opening formed therethrough and a basin sidewall extending upwardly from said basin floor, comprising:

• (A) a first upright support releasably securable to said basin floor;
• (B) a second upright support spaced apart from said first upright support;
• (C) a platform spanning said first and second upright supports and having an upper surface;
• (D) a cuffing board releasably securable to said platform and having a food preparation surface and an oppositely facing bottom surface wherein the bottom surface confronts said platform when in an assembled state;
• and
• (E) a first pair of cooperative fasteners disposed respectively on said platform and on said cutting board and located to secure to one another in a fastened state so as to releasably secure said cutting board to said platform.

A sink assembly adapted to be supported in a generally horizontal plane by a horizontal support surface, comprising:

• (A) a sink basin including a basin floor with a drain opening formed therethrough and a basin sidewall extending upwardly from said basin floor as a one-piece integral extension thereof to create a basin interior;
• (B) a first mount attached to said basin floor;
• (C) a base member releasably securable to said basin floor including
• (1) a first upright support adapted to be engaged by said first mount thereby to restrain movement of said base member relative to said basin floor;
• (2) a second upright support spaced apart from said first upright support;
• and
• (3) a platform spanning said first and second upright supports and extending in a plane that is generally parallel to the horizontal plane of the support surface;
• and
• (D) a cutting board secured to said base member in confronting relation with said platform when in an assembled state.

A food preparation station adapted to be supported in a generally horizontal plane by a horizontal support surface comprising:

• (A) a sink basin including
• (1) a basin floor with a drain opening formed therethrough;
• (2) a basin sidewall extending upwardly from said basin floor as a one piece integral extension thereof to create a sink basin interior;
• and
• (3) a mount attached to said basin floor;
• (B) a base member releasably securable to said basin floor including
• (1) a pair of upright walls each having a respective lower edge that is generally coextensive with said basin floor so as to confront said basin floor when said base member is disposed thereon and wherein a selected one of said upright walls is received by said mount thereby to restrain movement of said base member relative to said basin floor;
• and
• (2) a bridge member spanning said upright walls;
• (C) a cutting board secured to said base member and extending in a plane generally parallel to the horizontal plane of said support surface when in an assembled state.
