Product Overview

Getting your kitchen prep sorted has never been simpler. This complete Hygiplas Commercial Chopping Boards Set is the bedrock of any professional food environment, designed to make food safety straightforward and  second nature. With seven distinct, colour-coded boards, you can instantly separate different food groups, drastically cutting the risk of cross-contamination and  keeping your kitchen compliant with food safety standards. It’s the essential starting point for any new setup or a brilliant upgrade for a busy, established kitchen.

Designed specifically for the hustle and  bustle of UK commercial kitchens, from bustling city restaurants to village pub kitchens, this food prep chopping board set is built for practicality. The boards are crafted from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), making them noticeably lighter and  easier to handle than their high-density cousins. This means staff can move them from sink to station with less effort, speeding up workflow and  reducing fatigue during long shifts. They are non-toxic, non-absorbent, and  a breeze to clean, ensuring hygiene is always top of the list.

This isn't just a collection of boards; it's a full system in a box. The Hygiplas CH044 pack gives you everything you need to manage raw meat, cooked meat, fish, salads, vegetables, baked goods, and  dairy with total confidence. The generous 20mm thickness provides a sturdy and  reliable cutting surface for daily dicing, slicing, and  chopping. If you’re looking to build a safer, more efficient kitchen from the ground up, this set is your non-negotiable first step.

Expert Review and  Insights

"For any professional kitchen, a solid set of colour-coded boards is non-negotiable, and  this Hygiplas set ticks all the essential boxes. They've focused on practicality over frills; the boards are light enough for quick station changes but thick enough to feel robust. It's a smart, affordable way to instantly embed food safety best practices into your daily routine."

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Best Feature: The clear, universal colour-coding simplifies staff training and  prevents costly errors.
  • Consideration: Being low-density, they will show knife scores faster than heavier HDPE boards.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Arms, a popular gastropub in Skipton, North Yorkshire, needed to standardise their kitchen practices to improve efficiency and  ensure they were fully compliant ahead of a food hygiene inspection. Their old, mismatched boards were worn and  causing confusion during busy services.

"Switching to the full Hygiplas set was a simple change that made a massive difference. The team immediately knew which board to use for what, which sped up prep and  gave me peace of mind. It just professionalised the whole operation overnight."

Mark Riley – Head Chef

The result was a smoother workflow during peak hours and  a confident 5-star rating in their subsequent EHO inspection.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash each board thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
  • Post your colour-coding chart in a visible place for all kitchen staff to see.
  • Assign each board to its specific food prep area to create a safe workflow.
  • Store the boards upright in a dedicated rack to allow for proper air drying.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean boards immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the surface.
  • The boards are dishwasher safe for a thorough, sanitising clean.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers which can create deep grooves where bacteria can hide.
  • Regularly check for deep knife scores or heavy staining and  replace boards when they become excessively worn.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Boards

Not sure which boards are right for your kitchen? Here's a quick guide to help you make the best choice.

Material Matters

LDPE boards are lightweight and  easy to handle, ideal for fast-paced kitchens. HDPE is heavier but more cut-resistant. Choose based on your priority: ease of use or maximum durability.

Colour is Key

A colour-coded system isn't just for looks; it's a critical food safety tool that prevents cross-contamination. A full set is the easiest way to become compliant.

Size and  Thickness

Ensure the board size fits your counter space and  sinks. A thicker board (like this 20mm set) offers better stability and  a longer lifespan than thinner alternatives.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

Look for non-porous surfaces and  dishwasher-safe materials. This saves huge amounts of time and  ensures your boards are properly sanitised.

Don't Forget Storage

Boards should be stored upright in a rack. This prevents them from warping and  allows them to air dry properly, stopping bacterial growth.

A: The standard UK industry practice is: Red for raw meat, Blue for raw fish, Yellow for cooked meat, Brown for root vegetables, Green for salads & fruit, White for bakery & dairy, and  Purple for free-from/allergens.

Q: Are these Hygiplas low density boards really dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, they are designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial dishwashers for effective and  convenient sanitation.

Q: What is LDPE?

A: LDPE stands for Low-Density Polyethylene. It's a type of plastic that is softer and  more lightweight than HDPE, making the boards easier to handle and  move around.

Q: What are the dimensions of each board?

A: Each board in the set measures 450mm in width, 300mm in depth, and  has a thickness of 20mm.

A: Yes, both sides are usable, which can help to extend the life of each board. Just ensure the board is thoroughly cleaned between tasks.

Q: Why is a 20mm thickness important?

A: A thicker board is more stable on the countertop and  less likely to warp over time. It provides a solid, durable surface for all types of chopping tasks.

Q: Does this set come with a storage rack?

A: This set includes the seven chopping boards only. A compatible storage rack is highly recommended and  can be purchased separately.

Q: What does HACCP-compliant mean?

Why Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Matters in Your Kitchen

You often see 'LDPE' mentioned with chopping boards, but what does it actually mean for you and  your staff? Think of it like the difference between a lightweight pair of trainers and  a heavy pair of work boots. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is the work boot: it's incredibly tough and  resists deep cuts, but it's also heavy and  cumbersome. This Hygiplas low density chopping board set uses LDPE – the trainers of the chopping board world. It's significantly lighter, making it far easier for staff to carry a stack to the pot wash or move them around the kitchen during a hectic service. This small detail reduces physical strain and  makes the cleaning process quicker and  less of a chore, encouraging better hygiene practices.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: An essential kit for organising prep stations and  ensuring your kitchen meets EHO standards without fuss.
  • School & Care Home Kitchens: Perfect for high-volume catering where preventing cross-contamination is absolutely critical for vulnerable diners.
  • Catering Colleges & Training Kitchens: The ideal set for teaching students the fundamentals of food safety and  professional kitchen organisation.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: The lightweight design makes this colour coded chopping boards set easy to transport and  manage in tight spaces.
