Kitchen Tip Number One: The Cutting Board Trick


One thing that I have seen way too much in my cooking days is a sliding cutting board. Having your board get away from you while using a sharp knife can easily result in nasty cuts and bruises. Nobody wants that, right?! There are fancy rubber mats and other store bought devices to keep your cutting board firmly on the counter, but I have a simple trick that does the job just as well!
Place a damp tea towel or some damp paper towels under your cutting board. This will anchor it in place and allow you to chop-away without your board flying away! Try it out!
