Abstract
A disposable cutting board is disclosed having a tough plastic upper sheet and a lower base made of papier-mâché. In use, when the upper sheet is pierced, liquid from the food being cut thereon passes through such cuts in the plastic sheet to the base, causing the papier-mâché base to disintegrate and rendering the cutting board unusable. The user is thus encouraged to dispose of the cutting board.
