Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is purple the chosen colour for allergens?
A: Purple has become the UK industry standard for 'free-from' food preparation. It's a distinct colour that doesn't clash with the existing red, blue, green, and yellow system for other foods, making it instantly recognisable.
Q: Are the knives in the kit dishwasher safe?
A: While the materials are robust, we strongly recommend hand-washing professional kitchen knives. This helps to maintain the sharpness and integrity of the blade's edge for much longer.
Q: What kind of non-stick coating is on the frypan?
A: The Hygiplas frypan features a professional-grade Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating, which is designed for durability and performance in a commercial setting.
Q: Can I buy replacement items if one gets lost or damaged?
A: Yes, most of the individual items within the Hygiplas colour-coded range, including the purple tools, are available to purchase separately from our main catalogue.
Q: How accurate is the EasyTemp thermometer?
A: The Hygiplas EasyTemp is a reliable digital thermometer designed specifically for food service, providing fast and accurate temperature readings to ensure food safety.
Q: What material are the knife blades made from?
A: Hygiplas knives are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which offers an excellent balance of sharpness, durability, and resistance to corrosion and staining.
Q: Is this kit suitable for a home kitchen?
A: Absolutely. While it's built to commercial standards, it's an excellent choice for home cooks who are managing severe food allergies within the family and need a strict, reliable system.
Q: Does the kit come assembled in a case?
A: The items are bundled together for sale but do not come in a dedicated carry case. This allows you to integrate them into your own kitchen storage system.

The distinct purple of this colour coded allergy kit cuts through the noise, instantly telling any staff member, from the head chef to the kitchen porter, that these tools have a special, critical purpose.
