An ice top meat cutting apparatus and method for forming the same, the apparatus including a frame having an upper support member extending substantially above floor level, side walls preferably made of an elastomeric material and connected to the support member and being movable between an upright position defining an enclosure having an open top, and a down position, and cooling apparatus associated with the enclosure for freezing liquid contained within the enclosure to provide an ice top having an upper cutting surface suitable for cutting meat thereon. A preferred method for forming and maintaining the ice top meat cutting apparatus includes the steps of moving the side walls to the upright position defining the enclosure, filling the enclosure with liquid, freezing the liquid contained within the enclosure to provide the ice top, and moving the side walls to the down position to provide an unobstructed upper cutting surface. In order to regenerate the ice top and upper cutting surface to its original dimensions, the preferred method also preferably includes periodically repeating the steps recited above.
