Abstract: A cutting board with one or more cut-out sections is provided. The cutting board includes at least one work surface and a frame that transitions from a first (e.g., closed, stowed) position to a second position in which the frame at least partially defines a cut-out for removably holding one or more containers. The work surface may be used to prepare food ingredients, which are easily transported to the one or more containers. When work is complete, the containers are removed and the frame is returned to the first position, in which the cutting board occupies less space than in the second position.

Abstract: Nestable containers are provided for installation within a compatible cutting board or for stand-alone use. A first container features a lip along at least part of a circumference of the container, and a ledge below the lip that also extends along at least part of the circumference. A second container features a cooperative lip that, when the second container is nested within the first container, engages or rests upon the ledge of the first container. The lips and/or the ledge may be continuous or discontinuous.

Abstract: 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).
