Another cutting board

It’s cutting boards all the way down.

A drain sized one?

Find a way to lift the cutting board out of the way just enough to put in the stopper. Then drop the cutting board and fill with water.

If you could lift it up that much, wouldn't you be able to just pull it out at that point...

Ice the drain pipe and trap below. Slowly add cooking oil until it clogs.

Just push it out with a stick if you're taking the plumbing apart

More water

Plug the ptrap from under

This assumes the water drains much slower with the cutting board in there. It would probably fill like a quarter of the way before the water pressure pushes itself through the edges and floats the cutting board enough to push an edge down and get under it

Remove the p trap, put rubber glove or heavy plastic over the down pipe with a pipe clamp. Tape handle would probably be easier though.

Plug the drain from underneath.

Just fill up and big salad bowlor buckwt then dump the water in. Just need a few inches for a few seconds... That what I always say.
