I've seen this on a TV cooking show where the hole had a plug that was obviously the saved cutout from the countertop hole. However, the plug was cut like a cork, tapered at the bottom, with just a finger hole cut in the center (it was a little larger in diameter than what is shown here). I'd be interested to know if anyone has any thoughts on the best way to cut a tapered hole, saving the plug, and minimizing the look of the access hole that would be necessary with a jigsaw or similar tool.
