Geez, everything is made out of cake these days! .
What happens here
With the opening clearly marked, use a drill to create a pilot hole in one corner of the marked area. This pilot hole will allow for easy insertion of the reciprocating saw blade. Carefully, and with steady hands, guide the reciprocating saw along the marked lines to cut out the opening. The bar material appears to be a composite decking or wood-like material, so use a blade appropriate for this type of material to ensure a relatively clean cut and minimize chipping. Work slowly to maintain control and accuracy.
Goal: Create the necessary opening in the bar for the appliance.
