A cutting board drain device for being a cutting board with a food slicer attachment includes a cutting board which is positioned on top of a sink basin. The cutting board has a top surface protruding into the cutting board whereby defining a space for a variety of food items to be stored within. A support is coupled to a front edge of the cutting board and helps to retain the cutting board in a fixed position relative to a sink basin. A plurality of stubs is positioned on the bottom surface of the cutting board and assist in reducing movement within the sink basin. The top surface has a drain providing an outlet for a variety of liquids held within the top surface. A slicer is attached to the top surface and has a blade for portioning a variety of food items.

Present embodiments relate to a cutting board. More specifically, but without limitation, the present embodiments, relate to foldable cutting boards.

A cooking assistance method executed by a computer includes: (a) causing an output device to output information of a first cooking process in which a first ingredient is cut or applied with a pressure; (b) obtaining, when the first ingredient is cut on a cooking board or applied with the pressure on the cooking board in the first cooking process, at least one of a pressure on the cooking board, a total number of cuts made to the first ingredient, and a state of the first ingredient cut; (c) changing a description of a second cooking process performed subsequently to the first cooking process, using information based on the at least one of the pressure, the total number of cuts, and the state of the first ingredient cut; and (d) causing the output device to output information of the second cooking process changed.

A cooking assistance method executed by a computer includes: causing an output device to display a first image relating to a first cooking process in which a cooking operation is performed using a cooking board; obtaining a load on the cooking board at a first temporal resolution while the first image is displayed; changing the first image displayed on the output device to a second image relating to a second cooking process in which a cooking operation different from the first cooking process is performed using the cooking board; changing the first temporal resolution used to obtain the load to a second temporal resolution different from the first temporal resolution, when the first image is changed to the second image; and obtaining a load on the cooking board at the second temporal resolution while the second image is displayed.

A cutting board with one or more cut-out sections is provided. Each cut-out is defined by a ledge, and one or more containers may be installed in a cut-out, by engaging their rims/edges with a cut-out ledge. After installation, and during use of the cutting board, no container extends above a work surface of the cutting board. Therefore, food ingredients, remnants, scraps, and so on can be easily and directly scraped or otherwise moved from the work surface to the installed containers. A portion of the cutting board that comprises the work surface is placed on a counter or other support and may be weighted to offset the weight of the containers, which overlie open space or an area lower than the counter (e.g., a sink).

A method of chopping or cutting a food item on a cutting board which involves configuring and holding a flexible cutting board in a U-shaped configuration and chopping or cutting a food item in the bottom of the U-shaped configuration. Particles of the food item that would otherwise traject off a flat cutting board are contained between the side walls of the U-shaped configuration of the flexible cutting board and un-chopped and un-cut pieces of the food item fall downward into the bottom of the U-shaped configuration of the flexible cutting board. Also provided is the combination of a flexible cutting board and a cutting board holder that receives and holds a flexible cutting board in the U-shaped configuration.

A magnetic cutting board is generally rectangular shaped having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front surface, a rear surface, a left surface, and a right surface. The rectangular cutting board comprised of a border portion and a cutting portion. A stack of magnets centrally positioned entirely within the rectangular cutting board are provided, wherein the stack of magnets are approximate to the left surface or the right surface and within the border portion. A magnetic blade of a knife is configured to be removably attached to the left surface or the right surface of the rectangular cutting board via the stack of magnets. The magnetic blade of the knife is not configured to be magnetically attached to the stack of magnets within the cutting portion of the rectangular cutting board.

Surfaces suitable for cutting boards, cheese boards or other food preparation activities. In certain embodiments, the surfaces are wood that has been subjected to torrefaction. In certain embodiments, the surfaces are substantially planar, and include one or more pegs that have antimicrobial activity.

A support frame (1) for use with a kitchen sink (10), the support frame (1) having at least two extendable arms (2.1, 2.2) to hold the frame over a kitchen sink (10), which arms (2.1, 2.2) extend parallel to each other, defining a free space (3) therebetween, and are connected, at respective ends thereof, by connecting handles (4.1, 4.2). The arms (2.1, 2.2) each have at least two parts (2.1a, 2.1b; 2.2a, 2.2b) of different cross section, with a first part (2.1b, 2.2b) of smaller cross section slidably inserted into a second part (2.1a, 2.2a) of larger cross section, and the second parts (2.1a, 2.2a), at an end portion thereof, include a sealing element (2.1c, 2.2c), preferably a ring-shaped elastomeric or plastics seal, for slidably centering and aligning the first parts (2.1b, 2.2b) and said second parts (2.1a, 2.2a).

An insulated container can include a body having a length, width and height. The body can include an interior volume, an internal rim and an internal slot extending into the interior volume. The insulated container can further include a lid. The lid can have an open position and a closed position. The insulated container can have a cutting board. The cutting board can be complementary in shape to the internal rim and seat on the internal rim. The cutting board also can seat in the internal slot.
