Next time you have to cut up a watermelon, tomatoes, cantaloupe or any other over-ripe or overly juicy fruit or veggie, you’ll appreciate this valuable tip to help keep your counter tops clean and mess free!
Preparing fruits and veggies can make a nasty mess of the countertops and floors from the sticky drips!
To avoid a nasty mess place the cutting board within a large baking sheet. The sheet will collect any juices that run out of the fruit/veggies and keep the mess contained. To prevent the baking sheet from sliding around during cutting, place a hand towel underneath it.
Simply drain the juice into the sink, scrape off any seeds in the rubbish or compost pile and your kitchen countertops stay clean and sticky-free!
:party1:…AWESOME idea.
same as dj said, “awesome”
very useful tip.. thanks :23_30_109[1]:
why didn’t i think of that? great idea!
very clever, wish i thought of that also
one of the many reasons i love this site!!!!
i love this tip! this will work great when peeling/skinning tomatoes and other fruits for canning! kudos.
wow… such a simple tip & super useful. thanks!!
common sense…where was mine that i didn’t think of this?
very good idea. i think a dish tray, the old fashioned type that sits under a dish drying rack would work also. possibly eliminate the need for the tea towel underneath.
you are an inspiration to me.
