How to use "Carve up" in context?
Cleaning up a kitchen is rarely a fun task, but when there are food scraps and leftovers to deal with, it can become particularly unpleasant. One way to make the job a bit easier is to carve up the leftovers into smaller portions before disposing of them. This not only makes cleaning up quicker and easier, but it also leaves less food residue on dishes and in the sink.
