Cutting board covers, a rubber mat that lays on top of your cutting board, cut all your meats first, toss it in the sink, swap knives, cut all your veggies.

Saves 5 minutes or so of prep time, well worth it IMHO. Also you can just throw it in the dishwasher and not worry about scrubbing a wood cutting board and possibly damaging it with moisture.




Maybe a dumb question, but this sounds useful so I searched for "cutting board cover" and didn't get the expected 10 pages of results. Is this something you made for yourself? Does the knife cut it and little bits of cutting board cover end up in the food?


What's the difference between a cutting board cover and just using another cutting board?


I'm a fan of thick wooden cutting boards, and since my current cutting board (https://www.frankfurter-brett.de/en/) costs an arm and a leg...

Also my overpriced cutting board came with a cover for cutting meat. :)

Anyway I found it quite useful.

And again, I can just throw the cover in the dish washer, and not worry about trying to disinfect a wood cutting board.


What is the point of using a thick wooden board if you’re going to be cutting on the cover ?


Because 99% of the things I cut are fruits and veggies.

and heavier boards move around less!


I have some cheap plastic cutting boards that have a rubber edge. Zero movement on those. And you can just pop them in the dishwasher.


I despise plastic cutting boards, they slip around too much.

A plastic (or maybe it is some type of rubber, not sure) that goes on top of my wooden board works well, it stays in place and it also pops into the dish washer.

Best of both worlds.
