Wooden Cutting Board Ideas

FlowerBear · ‎03-24-2018

I have several cutting boards and dont use or need all of them. Does anyone use a wooden cutting board for anything else? I have been trying to think of what to do with them and dont want to get rid of them

I have a fairly large one that I keep on the left side of my stovetop that is against a wall. There are only two of us so I usually only use the 2 right side burners.

The board gives a bit of extra counter space while I am cooking and just be removed if need be. I am the only one who touches the stove.

I noticed David sells a product that does the same thing.

I also keep a cutting board out on each counter. I also have quite a few.

I have several cutting boards in a variety of sizes. I keep one next to the sink. Everyone uses this to make whatever when they raid the refigerator. I keep one under the air fryer. I really don't want any extra heat on my counter top but that's just me being extra cautious. I also have a kitchenette in our family room. Those counter tops are so old and I can't stand them. I'm waiting to replace them but in the interim I have a large one on the one side that I use as a "side board" to hold dog dishes, etc. They are also great for having near the grill.

I do not like to keep anything that I do not need or use. Is there a family member or friend who would like one? If in excellent shape, donate. If not, trash. It's OK.

Yes, I have a nice board that a relative honed. It's got some decoration on it and I use it under my "fruit bowl" area on the counter.

It was a nice gift and it looks pretty. I have a couple others of some sort of synthetic that I use as backsplashes on top of my old 4" ones (backsplashes).

Sometimes things like that add just the depth and dimension needed without being obtrusive. Wood's such a nice natural element to have around.

Thanks for the questions @FlowerBear

@FlowerBear How about as a tray or to have other things on it on a coffee table?

Raise it up with feet at the 4 corners to make a shelf.

wooden cutting boards that are in excellent shape and look good can be used to make charcuterie boards with meats, cheeses, and condiments OR can be used for a fruit display.....cut up fruits or whole fruits.

they can also be used for a dessert tray/display or for appetizers.

I have used mine as a "trivet" of sorts for hot dishes. Sometimes I use it on the table if it's needed, and often I'll just put it by the sink to put a hot pan or casserole dish on.
