## Abstract

A cutting board is elevated by way of a pair of leg stands, configured as longitudinal arc-shaped rod handles secured into the cutting board. Inverted, the handles receive and support various sizes of serving dishes and cooking pans in an inclined configuration and thereby functions as a device for separating liquids from foods, such as water and liquefied fats.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cutting board assembly, comprising:
(a) an elevated cutting board with a major surface of the cutting board exposed for use as a cutting surface, and a minor surface of the cutting board exposed to receive a food vessel,
(b) at least two longitudinal arc-shaped rod handles are secured to said cutting board substantially planar with each other and parallel to said minor surface, each of said arc-shaped rod handles having an arc-shaped rod body having first and second opposing rod handle ends, with first and second opposing rod posts configured substantially perpendicular to said arc-shaped rod bodies,
wherein said cutting board minor surface has multiple apertures for accepting said rod handle ends, said arc-shaped rod handles elevate said cutting board, whereupon inverting said cutting board assembly, said arc-shaped rod handles receive and retain a foods.
