Expert Review and  Insights

The Hygiplas S678 set is a real workhorse and  a staple in any kitchen that's serious about its processes. It’s a no-nonsense, practical solution that takes the guesswork out of food safety. The boards are reassuringly thick, and  the inclusion of a proper stainless steel rack means they’re always organised and  stored hygienically, which is half the battle won.

  • Pro: The 20mm thickness feels substantial and  resists flexing better than cheaper, thinner alternatives.
  • Con: Being low-density, they show deep knife scores more readily than harder boards.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby recently revamped its kitchen processes to cope with a surge in summer tourists. They needed a simple yet effective way to ensure their food safety protocols were easy for all staff, including seasonal hires, to follow.

"We brought in the Hygiplas S678 set and  it immediately clarified our prep stations. There's no more confusion about which board is for what. It's a simple change that has had a huge impact on our kitchen's flow and  our team's confidence."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The bistro successfully embedded the colour-coding system, leading to a noticeable improvement in prep-station organisation and  a smoother, faster service during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, unpack all boards and  the rack.
  • Wash each board thoroughly with hot, soapy water before its first use.
  • Place the stainless steel rack on a stable, flat work surface where it's easily accessible.
  • Position the included wall chart in a visible area near your main prep station as a constant guide for staff.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean boards immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the surface.
  • Adhere strictly to the colour-coding system to maintain food safety.
  • All boards are dishwasher safe for a full, hygienic clean at the end of service.
  • Always store the boards in the rack after cleaning to allow air to circulate and  dry them completely.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Chopping Boards

Not sure which boards are the best fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to look for.

Material Matters

LDPE boards (like these) are lightweight and  kind to knives, while HDPE boards are heavier and  more resistant to scoring. Choose based on your preference for handling versus scratch-resistance.

The Power of Colour

A colour coded chopping board set is non-negotiable for food safety. It's the simplest way to prevent dangerous cross-contamination between raw and  cooked foods.

Thickness is Key

Look for boards at least 15-20mm thick. Thinner boards are prone to warping in commercial dishwashers and  won't last as long under heavy, daily use.

Smart Storage

Never stack wet boards. A dedicated catering chopping board rack is essential for allowing them to air dry properly, preventing mould and  bacterial growth.

Size and  Space

Ensure the board dimensions fit your prep counters comfortably. This standard size (455x305mm) is versatile for most tasks without taking up excessive space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the specific colours for each food type in this set?

A: The set follows the industry standard: Red for raw meat, Blue for raw fish, Yellow for cooked meat, Brown for vegetables, Green for salads & fruit, and  White for bakery & dairy products.

Q: Are these boards genuinely dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, the LDPE material and  20mm thickness are designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial dishwashers without warping.

Q: What is the storage rack made from?

A: The rack is made from durable and  hygienic stainless steel, which is easy to clean and  resistant to rust.

Q: How thick are these Hygiplas S678 chopping boards?

A: Each board in this set has a substantial thickness of 20mm (or 3/4 inch), providing excellent stability and  longevity.

Q: What does LDPE stand for and  why is it used?

A: LDPE stands for Low Density Polyethylene. It's used because it creates a durable cutting surface that is lighter to handle than high-density boards and  is also kinder to knife edges.

Q: Is the wall chart included with the set?

A: Yes, a wipe-clean wall chart is included to help your team quickly identify the correct board for each food type.

Q: Will these boards stain easily?

A: The non-absorbent surface resists staining from common foods like beetroot or turmeric, and  they clean up very well. Regular cleaning after use is always recommended.

Q: Can the rack hold other boards?

A: The rack is specifically designed to hold the six 20mm thick boards included in the set, ensuring a snug and  secure fit for proper air drying.

What's the Deal with Low Density Cutting Boards?

You'll see chopping boards made from either High Density (HDPE) or Low Density (LDPE) Polyethylene, and  it's useful to know the difference. The 'low density' in these low density cutting boards means the material is lighter and  slightly softer than its high-density counterpart. Think of it like the difference between a dense, heavy fruitcake (HDPE) and  a lighter sponge cake (LDPE). Both get the job done, but the sponge is much easier to carry from the sink to the counter, which makes a real difference over a long shift. This slightly softer surface is also kinder to your knife edges, helping them stay sharper for longer. The trade-off is that it might show knife marks a bit more visibly over time, but for everyday convenience and  handling, LDPE is a fantastic choice.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: To ensure a clear separation between raw meat, fish, and  cooked food prep areas in a busy kitchen.
  • Schools & Hospitals: For maintaining the highest hygiene standards and  simplifying food prep for large numbers of people.
  • Butchers & Delis: To manage different food types safely in a smaller space and  demonstrate commitment to hygiene.
  • Mobile Caterers: For a compact, organised, and  professional setup that makes event catering safer and  more efficient.
