Carol’s Quick Household Tip: Keep Your Cutting Board from Sliding

Does your cutting board slide around on the counter while you’re trying to chop vegetables or prepare a meal?

Here’s an easy fix: place a slightly damp dish towel underneath the cutting board.

The damp towel helps grip both the countertop and the bottom of the board, keeping it much more stable while you work. You don’t need the towel soaking wet—just damp enough to keep it from slipping.

It’s a small thing, but a steady cutting board makes food preparation easier and safer.

Carol’s Tip: Wring the towel out well before putting it under the board. You want a little grip, not water all over your countertop.
