Patent attributes
The present invention is directed to a device, such as a cutting board, that comprises an upper planar surface that is useful for the breaking-down of articles, such as the chopping, crushing, and slicing of food articles, and one or more measuring receptacles integrated into the device such that the one or more receptacles are substantially flush with the planar surface. Using the device, one may break down articles, such as food articles, and easily transfer the broken-down portions of the articles to a measuring receptacle without having to remove the broken-down portions of the articles from the cutting board. The measuring receptacle may then be removed from the device, by which the measured portion of the article may be transferred away from the cutting board, such as to a separate pot or pan in the case of food articles.
