Ive seen the ex take a pot right off the stove and melt one of those! She also charred the kitchen counter with a similar stunt.

No surprise, she is a Scotch Noofie!

I think the temp rating of those cutting boards is fairly high, as you can place meat that was just cooked at 400F directly on the board without damage or discoloration.

Or, at least I do that!

What is a readily available plain (unclad) board material to use to

in Europe or here would be ideal. Thanks.

REPLY:
In my homebrew 3kV power supply, I used a high density polyethylene cutting board I bought in WalMart's kitchen department for a couple dollars. Works fine, but I don't know about it's temp rating. In my design, I used a fan to cool things down and I placed the capacitor bank right in the outflow of the fan, so
temp is not a problem. Be careful if you place it somewhere else.
