cutting block
Meat preparation platform
A cutting block is a thick, sturdy surface—typically wood—used for chopping, slicing, or butchering.
In kitchens, it's where meat and vegetables are prepared.
Butchers use heavy cutting blocks to withstand repeated cleaver blows.
The term overlaps with cutting board, though cutting block suggests something thicker and more substantial.
