Angled Cutting Board

What took so long?

Once you see it it's obvious how this simple modification enhances the function of a cutting board.

Yyiyiuy

Florence Fabricant reviewed it in her "Food Stuff" column in the November 12, 2008 New York Times Dining section as follows:

    A Bamboo Board for Carving au Jus

    Capturing the juices from a roasted turkey as it rests and then is carved can be a challenge, but a handsome bamboo cutting board designed by Curtis Stone, an Australian chef, makes the job easier.

    The Juicy board is pitched at enough of an angle for the juices to run into its stainless steel well. The well can be removed, so the juices can be poured directly into a saucepan. Without the well, the roomy board can be used for serving cheeses or bread. It’s also easy to clean. Williams-Sonoma stores sell the board for $99.95; the company will not have it available online until December.

Groove[s] might be good, or bad - collect other debris...

Anyhow, I hope he patente several variations (and certainly materials). OTOH, I hope one variation comes down to the under-$20 range.

Brilliant. And like putting wheels on shopping basket/cart, so simple that like Watson I am surprised at the Holmes-like notice of the obvious I missed.

Don't you think it needs a groove of some sort to channel the liquids into the steel well? They'll run down alright but they might still run out over the sides of the board. It seems to me that a groove would be a decided improvement to this design is all I'm saying...
