Expert Review and  Insights

The Hygiplas W356 set is a workhorse, plain and  simple. It’s not fancy, but it nails the fundamentals of food safety. In a professional kitchen, you need tools that are intuitive and  reliable, and  this set delivers exactly that. It's a foundational kit that I’d recommend to any new kitchen setup or as a full refresh for an existing one.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →

  • Pro: The clear colour system is brilliant for training new staff on food safety standards quickly.
  • Con: As they're LDPE, they may score deeper than HDPE boards with heavy, forceful chopping.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Granary Bistro in a scenic part of Aberdeenshire recently overhauled its kitchen practices after a visit from the environmental health officer highlighted a need for clearer separation of raw and  cooked food prep areas. They invested in the Hygiplas W356 set to standardise their approach.

"It seems like such a simple change, but this set immediately brought order to our kitchen chaos. The team can grab the right board without thinking, which speeds up service and  gives me huge confidence in our hygiene standards. It was an instant upgrade."

Ewan McGregor – Head Chef

The bistro successfully streamlined its food prep process, leading to a 5-star 'Scores on the Doors' rating at their next inspection.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give all six boards a thorough wash with hot, soapy water before their first use.
  • Assign a dedicated storage space, ideally a vertical chopping board rack to allow for air drying.
  • Pin up a colour-coding chart near the prep area so new staff can learn the system quickly.
  • Designate specific areas on your prep counters for different food types to complement the board system.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean boards immediately after use to prevent bacteria from multiplying. They are dishwasher safe for easy sanitisation.
  • Avoid using harsh metal scourers which can create deep scratches on the surface.
  • Regularly check boards for deep knife grooves or heavy staining, as these can harbour bacteria.
  • Replace any board that becomes excessively scored or warped to maintain the highest level of hygiene.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chopping Board

Not sure which board is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

LDPE vs. HDPE

This set is LDPE (Low-Density), making it lighter and  kinder to knife edges. HDPE (High-Density) is heavier and  more resistant to scoring but can be tougher on your knives. For general use, LDPE is a great all-rounder.

Why Colour is King

A colour coded chopping board set is the industry standard for preventing cross-contamination. It’s a simple, visual system that removes human error and  is a must for passing food hygiene inspections.

Size and  Thickness

Consider your counter space. This 450x300mm size is versatile for most tasks, from dicing onions to prepping fish fillets. The 10mm thickness provides stability without being too bulky.

Storage Solutions

Don't just stack wet boards. Invest in a simple storage rack. It keeps them organised, easy to grab, and  allows them to air dry properly, preventing mould and  bacterial growth.

When to Replace Them

All chopping boards have a lifespan. Once a board has deep, numerous knife grooves that are hard to clean, it's time to replace it. These grooves can trap food particles and  bacteria.
