ABSTRACT:
A container lid and cutting board apparatus includes a rigid central panel portion and a flexible peripheral container-connector portion attached to the central panel portion. The peripheral container-connector portion includes a bridging ring portion attached to the central panel portion, and a container rim reception flange is attached to the bridging ring portion. The central panel portion has a panel thickness. The bridging ring portion has a ring thickness, and the panel thickness is greater than the ring thickness. The central panel portion and the peripheral container-connector portion are made as a unified structure from a single piece of plastic material. When the container lid and cutting board apparatus is placed on a surface upside down, the central panel portion can be used as a cutting board. Then, a container can be turned upside down, and the upper rim of the container can be fitted into the container rim reception flange to fix the container lid and cutting board apparatus and the container together. Then, the combination of the container lid and cutting board apparatus and the container can be inverted and stored in a conventional manner.
