Got this $3 cutting board yesterday in the Humane Society thrift for my daughter (along with a $4 Krups spice/coffee grinder). (Forgot to add, it’s about 18x10x1.25 inches)
How’s this for quirky - Kohler makes a number of cutting boards, but this one appears to have been modeled after the lid to a toilet tank.
Here’s the cutting surface (before I stained* it)
Here’s the back surface (before/after I stained* it).
I was worried about the potential for tipping so I set it up on the counter at the store and found I had to apply at least an estimated 25 pounds force to an edge to get it to tip.
(*) Stain is coffee. This board appeared not to have been oiled so I scrubbed it down hard, let it dry well, then stained it with a concentrated coffee. Then I oiled it several times, and will continue to do so daily for about a week (“once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year” is the mantra one friend told me long ago).
I’m not sure if this will really “set” the coffee stain or not. If not - if when I test it next week, the color comes off on wet veggies or it comes off when I wash it - then I’m just out a bit of time and effort. And a cup of coffee.
P.S. Yes it’s really a cutting board, not a toilet tank lid. Note the admonition not to use the dishwasher on it.
