Expert Review and Insights
The Araven board is a perfect example of doing the simple things exceptionally well. In a professional kitchen, you don't need gimmicks; you need reliability. Its non-slip feet are genuinely effective, gripping the counter without fail. The HDPE material feels robust and is noticeably less prone to deep scoring than cheaper alternatives, which is key for hygiene.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The integrated non-slip corners are fantastic, providing excellent stability on wet surfaces.
- Con: As with any HDPE board, it will eventually show knife marks with heavy use.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Deli in Oakham needed to overhaul its food prep stations to improve both safety and compliance with HACCP standards. Their old, worn boards were slipping on stainless steel counters and were difficult to sanitise effectively.
"We switched to these Araven boards across the deli. The difference was immediate. The non-slip corners mean our staff can work faster and with more confidence, and the solid white surface makes our commitment to cleanliness obvious to our customers."
Michael Edwards – Owner
After the switch, The Rutland Deli reported zero slippage incidents and passed their next EHO inspection with top marks for their prep area.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, remove all packaging and inspect the board.
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Immediately assign it to the correct food area – this white board is for dairy and bakery.
- Ensure the surface you place it on is clean and level to maximise the grip of the non-slip feet.
Keeping It Going
- Clean promptly after each use to prevent food residue from drying on the surface.
- The board is fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic high-temperature cleaning.
- Regularly check for any deep knife grooves, which can harbour bacteria.
- Store upright or flat in a designated rack to allow for proper air drying and prevent warping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the white colour specifically for in a colour-coded system?
A: White is universally designated for bakery and dairy products, such as bread, pastries, and cheese. This helps prevent flavours and allergens from crossing over.
Q: Is this chopping board really non-slip?
A: Yes. It features permanent, integrated non-slip corners that grip the work surface to prevent it from sliding during use, a key safety feature.
Q: Can I put this Araven board in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. It's made from high-density polyethylene and is designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial dishwashers for easy sanitisation.
Q: Is the board double-sided?
A: Yes, you can use both sides of the board. This effectively doubles its usable lifespan, offering great value.
Q: What is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)?
A: HDPE is a durable, non-porous plastic that is the preferred material for professional chopping boards because it's resistant to knife cuts, won't absorb bacteria or odours, and is gentle on knife blades.
Q: Will this board dull my professional knives?
A: No, HDPE is a relatively soft material that is kind to knife edges, helping to keep them sharper for longer compared to harder surfaces like glass or marble.
Q: Can the board be used in a microwave?
A: The manufacturer states it is suitable for microwaves. However, this is typically for very specific, low-power applications like gentle defrosting. Always follow the specific instructions provided.
Q: What's the main benefit of the white body?
A: Aside from its colour-coding role, the bright white surface makes it very easy to see any remaining food particles, ensuring a more thorough clean every time.

Explore more from AravenWhy Integrated Non-Slip Corners Are a Kitchen Essential
Ever tried to chop quickly on a board that slides around? It's inefficient and downright dangerous. Araven's integrated non-slip corners tackle this problem head-on. Think of it like this: a normal chopping board on a steel counter is like wearing socks on a polished floor – one wrong move and you're slipping. This Araven board, however, is like wearing trainers with a fantastic grip. The small, permanent rubberised corners are co-moulded directly into the board, so they can't fall off or get lost. They anchor the board to the work surface, creating a stable, secure base that doesn't budge, even during vigorous chopping. This simple, clever design massively boosts user safety and confidence during prep.
