if you are using a cutting board on a granite countertop, be sure to put a wet towel under it so it won't slide while you are cutting. i usually do this but neglected to yesterday, as i made a last minute decision to cook the green beans with some chopped pancetta.

at least hilary found the fingernail before she added it to the pan.

and i just sharpened my knives last weekend...

Was it just the fingernail or part of your finger?

 

[narlus]

mainly the fingernail, but it bled quite a bit and is still sore. i've got a triangular notch missing from it.

You can get a roll of grip liner for a few bucks at Home Depot. Cut it to size for all of your cutting boards. Keeps everything nice and secure with no marking. Works better than the wet towel.

Well that was a rookie move Yesterday I was working on my parents kitchen remodel, I was soldering a new line under the house to the ice maker box, when hot dripping solder found it's way to the one hole in my glove. Damn that burns, it's been 11 years since that last happened.

sounds like a good idea. how does it attach to the board? and can it withstand a dishwasher?

 

[clancy98]

nah its just that squishy rubbery mat. just something you throw down beforehand. dishwasher would thrash it.

Thats the stuff. I got a roll or it and used it to line my tool box drawers as well as use if for the cutting boards.

I toss it in the washing machine with dish towels and the such and it holds up for fine. I do end up replacing it every few months but..... its not expensive and works great.

Fingernails are best sauteed with butter, garlic, and chives. Add just a smidgen of wine when just about fully cooked.

With or without the band aid? I sort of treat it like a bay leaf.

I think I found Narlus' fingernail in my Wendy's chili yesterday....

Edit: Dammit Brian you beat me to it!!
