Product Overview

Getting your food prep right starts with the surface you use. This set of six Hygiplas HC869 boards is your first line of defence in kitchen hygiene, offering a dedicated, colour-coded board for every food group. Designed for the hustle and  bustle of a commercial kitchen, this isn't just a set of chopping boards; it's a core part of a professional food safety system that helps you keep your team efficient and  your customers safe from cross-contamination risks.

Crafted from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), these boards are tough cookies. They're built to resist deep knife scratches where bacteria love to hide, and  they won't warp in the dishwasher like cheaper alternatives.

The heavyweight feel gives you a stable and  secure food preparation board, so you can chop, slice, and  dice with confidence.

Each set gives you a clear, visual system for raw meat, cooked meat, fish, salads, vegetables, and  dairy, effectively simplifying HACCP compliance. If you’re serious about food safety and  want equipment that works as hard as you do, this high density chopping board set is a must-have foundation for your kitchen.

  • Pro: The high-density material genuinely resists warping and  staining over time.
  • Con: They are heavier than standard boards, requiring a sturdy storage rack.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to overhaul its food prep process after their old wooden boards failed a routine EHO spot-check. They switched to the Hygiplas HC869 set to create a foolproof, compliant system.

"These boards immediately gave the team, and  our inspector, confidence. The colour-coding is so simple but so effective. There's no more second-guessing, and  clean-down is so much faster. It's a weight off my mind."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The bistro successfully passed its follow-up EHO inspection with top marks for its food handling practices, directly citing the new board system.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wash every board thoroughly in hot, soapy water or a dishwasher before the first use.
  • Use a wall chart or brief your team on the standard UK colour-coding system (e.g., Red for raw meat, Blue for raw fish).
  • Store the boards in a dedicated rack that allows air to circulate and  dry them properly.
  • Position the boards at their relevant prep stations to make the system intuitive.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean and  sanitise each board immediately after use, especially after contact with raw food.
  • Never use a board designated for raw food to prep ready-to-eat food.
  • Regularly check for any deep cuts or heavy scarring. While durable, they will wear over time.
  • Replace any board that becomes excessively scored or warped, as deep grooves can harbour bacteria.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Board

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few quick tips to help you pick the perfect chopping board for your business.

Material Matters

HDPE plastic is the professional standard for its durability and  hygiene. Wood can look nice but is porous and  harder to sanitise, while glass will blunt your knives in no time.

Colour is Your Co-Pilot

A colour-coded system isn't just a suggestion; it's the easiest way to prevent cross-contamination. Investing in a full set is the best practice for food safety.

Thickness Equals Stability

Look for boards that are at least 12mm thick. Thinner boards are prone to bending and  warping in the heat of a dishwasher, making them unstable and  unsafe.

Size Up Your Space

Consider your counter space. This small kitchen cutting board set is ideal for compact kitchens or specific workstations, while larger boards suit big butchery or prep areas.

Consider the Clean-Up

A board that is 'dishwasher safe' is a huge time-saver in a busy commercial kitchen, ensuring it's properly sanitised at high temperatures every time.

Q: Are these boards genuinely dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, their high-density construction is designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial dishwashers without warping.

Q: What exactly is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)?

A: Each board in the Hygiplas HC869 set has a thickness of 12mm, providing excellent durability and  stability.

Q: Why is a high density chopping board better than a wooden one?

Why a 'Non-Absorbent' Surface is a Hygiene Hero

Ever used an old wooden or cheap plastic chopping board and  noticed it has stains that just won't wash out? That's because the surface is porous, like a very fine sponge. It absorbs liquids, juices, and, worryingly, bacteria. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is different. Think of its surface as being more like glass; it's so dense that there's nowhere for moisture or germs to soak in. This means when you wash a Hygiplas high density board, you're not just cleaning the surface—you're cleaning the whole thing. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference to your kitchen’s safety.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants & Pubs: To ensure a safe, efficient workflow between different prep stations for meat, fish, and  veg.
  • Local Cafés & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for smaller spaces to prevent allergens and  raw foods from cross-contaminating ready-to-eat items.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: A compact and  durable set that makes it easy to maintain hygiene standards on the go.
  • Schools & Care Homes: An essential tool for kitchens serving vulnerable individuals, making food safety clear and  simple for all staff.
