Default Plastic cutting board

Years ago I was given really nice plastic cutting board. It was big, yet
fit on a normal counter (just barely). It also had a real moat and well,
unlike the fake moats that you see on lesser boards. I had to leave it
behind in the divorce, and I have been unable to find anything like it
since in plastic. I have a great wooden board that does the job, but it
weighs a ton and takes a certain amount of effort to keep in good shape.

Any sources would be appreciated.

I used to have one with a moat but it was many years ago. I never used it
much so got rid of it.

I used this one all the time, so much so that it started to warp because
I did not realize that I should have equalized the use to both sides.
Regardless, the wife kept it, so I had to move on.

I like my roasts rare, so cutting into them usually releases a lot of
juice. Without a real moat this generally leads to juice all over the
counter, and sometimes the floor. Plus, I lose this juice, which can be
used in gravy and other sauces.

I can deal with this by just putting paper towels in the general
direction that the juice wants to flow, but I'd like to have better
control over the situation.

you might put the cutting board inside a sheet tray to catch the juice.

I've never seen a poly board with a moat, not saying they don't exist
- just that they aren't popular. I suspect the reason why is they are
soft and get cut up so easily. I have a couple of big poly boards,
but I put a silicon mat on top when I'm cutting everything except
cooked meat. I use my bamboo boards (all have moats) to carve meat.

I have one. Use it for veggies. I think I got it at the supermarket.

I got to thinking about this after I posted and now I remember why I got rid
of mine. It was designed to fit over the sink. Just not *my* sink. It was
never the correct size for any of the sinks that I ever had. And although
it had a moat, it also had this large depression at the one end which meant
that the board itself was not flat on the bottom. I guess the depression
was so that you could push the scraps into it and whatever juice would drain
into the sink. So... Totally wouldn't work for his purposes.

FWIW, our house came with what I guess you'd call butcher block as a
counter surface, just on top of the dishwasher. We have used it merrily
for 20+ years, take terrible care of it, which is to say we use it, wipe
it off from time to time, and that's it, and it's still great.

If I ever saw one with a moat, it was a very long time ago. The image
sw provided above is not the type in question and everyone knows those
plain ones can be easily found without resorting to a restaurant
supply store.

If Travis can't find what he wants anywhere else, a good place to
inquire would be Tap Plastics because they can fabricate to order.

Thanks. That's what I may have to do, if it's not too pricey. Of course,
I *really* don't have to get this, but I have a bug in my ear about it.
It may be enough to just find a source.

The one that I had was given to me by the ex, purchased from a very tony
gourmet kitchen store in Danville, CA, back in the early 90s or so. I
don't have any contact with her any more, and I don't remember the name
of the store, or the name of the board manufacturer. Oh well, you can't
always get what you want.

Is $19.95 for a set of 3 too pricey?

I looked on Amazon. They do have them but the moat might not be deep enough
for him.

He said in the OP that he'd seen boards with tiny moats already and
they weren't what he was looking for.

Yes. I can't say that these moats were tiny. But I also can't say that
they were not. Since I did not see his former board and do not know what he
considers to be an appropriate moat.

He's talking about a poly cutting board with a moat the same size as
hardwood and bamboo cutting boards. I've seen them, but it was
probably way back when he bought the one he wants to replace.

Yes, exactly, except that the one I had also had a "well" in one corner,
a circular depression that the moat fed into, to keep the moat from
overflowing, and to collect the juices if I wanted to use them for gravy.

I already have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
.. It does exactly what I want, but it is rather unwieldy.

Trust me, they weren't - they had moats that were maybe 1/4 inch wide
at best. If you saw anything that was anywhere near his requirements,
you would have posted the link.
