Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pantry, a popular delicatessen in Oakham, needed to overhaul its food prep area. Their old chopping boards were worn and warped, posing a compliance risk and slowing down their workflow.
"We replaced all our old boards with the Araven colour-coded system. The difference is night and day. The non-slip feet mean our staff can work faster and more safely, and the colour coding for different food types makes training new team members so much simpler. They just feel incredibly solid and professional."
Robert Mills – Owner
The upgrade immediately improved their kitchen's safety and efficiency, helping them pass their next EHO inspection with flying colours and positive comments on their setup.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the board a thorough wash with hot, soapy water and a sanitiser.
- Designate a specific area in your kitchen for this yellow board to avoid any mix-ups.
- Always place it on a clean, flat, and stable work surface before you begin prepping.
Keeping It Going
- Clean and sanitise immediately after every single use to maintain hygiene.
- Use a stiff, non-abrasive brush to scrub away any food particles from knife marks.
- Store the board upright in a drying rack to allow air to circulate and dry it completely.
- Once the board becomes heavily scored or pitted, it's time to replace it to prevent bacteria build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the yellow colour coding for?
A: In the UK's standard food hygiene system, yellow is specifically designated for preparing cooked meats.
Q: Is this chopping board fully dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it's made from high-density polyethylene and is designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial dishwashers.
Q: Can I use both sides of the board?
A: Absolutely. It's designed for double-sided use, which effectively doubles its working life before it needs replacing.
Q: What exactly is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)?
A: It's a durable, food-safe plastic that is perfect for chopping boards because it's tough, resists deep cuts, and doesn't absorb moisture or odours.
Q: Will this type of board blunt my professional knives?
A: No, HDPE is a preferred material as it's forgiving on knife edges, helping to keep them sharper for longer compared to glass or stone boards.
Q: How effective are the non-slip corners?
A: They are very effective. They are made from a high-friction material that grips the work surface to prevent sliding, even when the counter is wet.
Q: Why is the main cutting surface white instead of all yellow?
A: The white surface makes it much easier to spot any remaining food debris or stains, ensuring a more thorough and hygienic clean every time.
Q: Can this Araven cutting board yellow 404x304x24mm really be used in a microwave?
A: Yes, it is rated as suitable for microwave use for certain applications, but you should always follow the manufacturer's specific instructions and guidelines.

Explore more from AravenHow Non-Slip Corners Keep Your Kitchen Safer
Ever had a chopping board slide on a wet steel surface? It’s a common problem that can lead to serious accidents. The non-slip corners on this Araven board are designed to stop that from happening. Think of it like putting premium tyres on your car. While a standard board can slide around like a car aquaplaning, these integrated grips, made from a softer, high-friction material, bite into the worktop. This keeps the board locked in place, even during fast, repetitive chopping tasks. It’s a small detail that provides a massive boost in confidence and safety for any chef working under pressure.
