Expert Review and  Insights

This Hygiplas set is a brilliant workhorse for any kitchen serious about its prep. The low-density material is the standout feature here; it's noticeably lighter than traditional high-density boards, which makes a real difference during a long shift. It’s a smart, no-nonsense choice that prioritises safety and  practicality above all else.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →

  • Pro: The colour-coding is vivid and  foolproof, perfect for fast-paced environments.
  • Con: The softer LDPE material will show knife scores more readily than harder boards.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Ship Inn, a popular gastropub in Whitby, needed to standardise its food prep process across its growing kitchen team. They replaced their mismatched collection of old boards with the Hygiplas colour coded chopping boards 7 pack.

"It immediately tidied up our workflow. The new apprentices can see exactly which board to use, so there's no confusion. It’s a simple change that has made a huge impact on our kitchen's discipline and  safety standards."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The upgrade resulted in a 100% pass rate on their next food hygiene audit, with the inspector specifically praising their clear cross-contamination controls.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash each board thoroughly with hot, soapy water and  sanitiser.
  • Assign each colour to its standard food group (e.g., Red for raw meat, Green for salad/fruit).
  • Store the boards upright in a dedicated rack to allow air to circulate and  dry them properly.
  • Brief your team on the colour system to ensure everyone is following the same safety procedure.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, clean boards immediately after use to prevent staining and  bacteria growth.
  • The boards are commercial dishwasher safe for easy and  effective thermal disinfection.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers, which can create deep scratches where bacteria can hide.
  • Regularly inspect for deep knife scores. Replace any board that becomes excessively worn or difficult to clean.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Boards

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Choosing the right professional kitchen chopping board set is key for safety and  efficiency. Here’s a quick checklist to help you decide.

Colour is Critical

A colour-coded system isn't just a suggestion; it's the foundation of modern food safety. It's the most effective way to prevent cross-contamination between raw and  cooked foods.

Size Up Your Space

Consider your counter space and  typical prep tasks. This large 600x450mm size is perfect for butchering meat or prepping large batches of vegetables, but ensure you have room to use and  store it.

Density Decisions

Low-density (LDPE) boards are lighter and  kinder to knives, making them great for general use. High-density (HDPE) boards are harder, heavier, and  more durable but can dull knives faster.

Always Buy in Sets

Investing in a complete colour coded chopping boards 7 pack ensures you have a designated board for every task from day one, including one for allergens, which is increasingly important.

Think About Storage

Don’t just stack wet boards on top of each other. A proper storage rack is essential for allowing boards to air dry hygienically, preventing mould and  extending their lifespan.

"A must-have for any professional kitchen. The size is great for big prep jobs and  the colours are clear and  bright. Makes training new staff on food safety so much easier."

What Does 'Low Density' Mean for Your Kitchen?

You'll see 'Low Density Polyethylene' (LDPE) mentioned, but what does that actually mean for you? In short, it’s a softer, more forgiving type of plastic. Think of it like the difference between a high-end running shoe and  a hard leather work boot. The running shoe (our LDPE board) has a cushioned sole that absorbs impact, protecting your joints. Similarly, an LDPE board has a slight 'give' to it, which cushions the knife's edge every time you chop. This means your expensive chef's knives stay sharper for longer, saving you time and  money on constant sharpening. The hard work boot is like a rigid, high-density board – it’s tough, but it offers no flex, dulling your blades much faster. So, 'low density' means better care for your most important tools.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: Essential for organising high-volume prep stations and  ensuring food safety compliance during busy services.
  • Catering Colleges: A perfect, cost-effective tool for teaching students the fundamentals of kitchen hygiene and  knife skills.
  • Butchers & Delis: Use the dedicated boards to safely separate raw meats, cooked meats, and  cheese products.
  • Allergy-Conscious Cafés: The purple allergen board makes this set ideal for preparing gluten-free or other special dietary foods safely.
