Notes

  • You can use a flat plate instead of a cutting board.
  • I use a casserole dish to keep the balance, but you can skip it and directly place heavy objects on the cutting board.
  • You can use various items such as canned food, heavy books, a frying pan, vegetables (onions, potatoes, etc.), bottles, or a bowl of water. Just about any heavy object is ok.
