Neat idea. Board makers, please make 11.5”x16.5” boards of whatever type. Despite use of US units, this is a universal size - it will fit in the bottom of a half-sheet pan (13”x18” top dimensions with sides tapering to bottom) which is AIUI an international standard. Standard size kitchen towel on counter, pan on towel, board in pan to catch any juices that spill off. Works best if board has feet to elevate it a bit and catch more volume. Obviously useful for large roasts, but also superb for watermelon. Also a good size for standalone use, but the sheet pan method really helps. If you buy one fancy-finished sheet pan, it looks good enough to use at the table for service and keeps things clean.
