Product Discovery Inc. (PDI) announces today that they have acquired a new patent for a double-sided disposable cutting board that will revolutionize the food preparation industry. PDI is currently seeking manufacturing, distribution, and marketing alliances to further develop its new innovative kitchen product.
Sheboygan, WI (PRWEB) April 21, 2004 -- Bacteria build-up has always been a primary concern when dealing with food preparation and the use of a standard wood or plastic cutting board. By using a disposable cutting board, the chances of bacteria build-up is significantly reduced due to the board being disposed of immediately after use.
PDI's Disposable Cutting Board consists of a thin laminate, water-soluble, high-tensile strength plastic film that coats both sides of the board. The plastic film gives the cutting board added strength and rigidity to help the base resist flexure as it is used to carry food from the counter top to the stove. The inner base of the cutting board consists of a fiber or polymer absorbent foam which degrades, disintegrates, and changes color after food is cut on the board. This material can be germicidal in nature, which helps to suppress bacterial growth and helps to lessen odors in the trash and/or landfills.
What makes the Disposable Cutting Board unique in its design is the removable waxed cover sheet that is adhered to the bottom side of the cutting board. The removable sheet serves a dual purpose in this design: First, while using the top side of the board, the waxed sheet prevents the bottom sheet from becoming contaminated from the work surface being used. Second, when the cutting board is turned over, the waxed sheet is removed from the base and adhered to the previously used side of the board. This protects the work surface from becoming contaminated with any juices that have already been absorbed into the top sheet of the board.
Currently, two types of disposable cutting boards/sheets exist on the market. The advantage that PDI's Disposable Cutting Board holds over its competition is the fact that this cutting board can be used to cut both meat and vegetables on the same board,whereas the competition's sheets can only be used once for meats and then must be disposed of and a new sheet must be used to cut vegetables. The design of PDI's Disposable Cutting Board allows one side of the board to be used to cut meat and then the board can be turned over to cut vegetables. Because of the protective laminate film and the germicidal foam, each cutting side is protected from contamination. This results in a lesser number of disposable sheets needed to prepare a meal, and in return, a greater savings to the consumer.
