Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas F155 is the definition of a kitchen workhorse. It doesn't try to be clever; it's just brilliant at its job. The density gives it a satisfying weight, so it doesn't skate around the counter, and the HDPE material holds up remarkably well to constant use. It’s an essential bit of kit for any chef who values safety and efficiency.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The built-in antimicrobial properties provide a genuine, tangible hygiene benefit between washes.
- Con: Its sheer density means it's heavier than cheaper boards, so storage needs consideration.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Country Kitchen Inn," a popular gastropub in Hereford, decided to overhaul its food prep equipment after their old set of mixed chopping boards became visibly worn and difficult to sanitise effectively, posing a potential hygiene risk.
"Adopting the Hygiplas colour-coded system, starting with these red boards for our meat, has been brilliant. There's no ambiguity in the kitchen anymore. The team knows exactly what to use, and the boards themselves are tough enough to handle a busy Sunday service without a problem. It's about safety and confidence."
Michael Edwards – Head Chef
Following the upgrade, the pub's prep efficiency improved, and they noted a significant reduction in board replacement needs, passing their subsequent EHO inspection with top marks for food handling practices.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water before its first use to remove any residue from manufacturing or shipping.
- Immediately assign it to your raw meat preparation area to embed the colour-coding rule from day one.
- Ensure you have a dedicated rack or slot for storage to keep it separate from other boards.
- Place on a non-slip mat if your stainless-steel worktops are particularly slick for extra stability.
Keeping It Going
- Clean after every use. The board is dishwasher safe for easy and effective thermal sanitation.
- For manual washing, use a stiff brush with sanitiser to get into any minor surface scratches.
- Store upright in a drying rack. Stacking wet boards flat on top of each other can trap moisture.
- Periodically check for deep grooves or heavy scarring. While durable, all boards will eventually need replacing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the red colour for?
A: In the UK's HACCP food safety system, red is the designated colour for chopping boards used exclusively for raw meat. This helps prevent cross-contamination with other food types.
Q: Is this board safe to put in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean and sanitise to professional standards.
Q: What is HDPE?
A: HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene. It's a type of robust, non-porous plastic that is perfect for professional kitchens because it's durable, resistant to stains, and doesn't absorb liquids or bacteria.
Q: Will this board warp in the heat?
A: The high-density construction makes it highly resistant to warping, especially compared to cheaper, lower-density boards. For best results, allow it to cool in the rack after a hot dishwasher cycle.
Q: How thick is this chopping board?
A: This board has a solid thickness of 12mm (or about half an inch), which gives it excellent weight and durability.
Q: Will a red high density chopping board dull my knives?
A: No, the HDPE material is designed to be kind to knife edges, helping them stay sharper for longer compared to materials like glass or bamboo.
Q: What makes it 'antimicrobial'?
A: The material is treated with a special agent during manufacturing that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria on the board's surface, offering an extra layer of hygiene.
Q: Can I use this for bread or vegetables?
A: No. To maintain a safe, colour-coded system, this red board should only ever be used for raw meat. You should use a white board for bakery/dairy and a green board for fruit/veg.

Explore more from HygiplasHow an Antimicrobial Surface Elevates Your Food Safety
Ever wondered what the 'anti-microbial' feature really means? Think of it like a protective shield infused directly into the board's material. It's not a temporary coating that wears off. This technology works to actively disrupt the growth of bacteria like E. coli and Listeria on a cellular level, making it much harder for them to multiply on the surface. Imagine it as making the board an unfriendly environment for germs to set up camp between cleanings. While it's not a substitute for proper washing and sanitising, this anti microbial cutting board provides a crucial, continuous layer of defence that helps keep your kitchen safer, 24/7.
