Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Bistro, a bustling eatery in York, needed to tighten up its food prep procedures to ensure absolute separation between different food groups. They introduced a full set of Hygiplas colour-coded boards, including this commercial green chopping board for their popular salad bar.
"Since we switched to the Hygiplas system, our kitchen flow is so much clearer. The team knows exactly which board to grab, and it gives me huge peace of mind knowing we're preventing any risk of cross-contamination. They're tough, easy to clean, and just work.".
David Chen – Head Chef
The result? A more confident team, a streamlined prep station, and a flawless 5-star rating in their latest food hygiene inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the board a thorough wash with hot, soapy water.
- Designate a specific spot for it in your kitchen to reinforce its role for fruit and veg only.
- Place a damp cloth or a non-slip mat underneath to prevent it from sliding on stainless steel surfaces.
- Brief your team on the colour-coding system to ensure everyone uses it correctly from day one.
Keeping It Going
- Clean immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the surface.
- It's fully dishwasher safe for a deep, sanitising clean.
- Avoid placing extremely hot pans directly onto the board as this can cause it to warp.
- Inspect the board regularly. Once it becomes heavily scored or grooved, it's time to replace it to prevent bacteria from hiding in the cuts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the green colour for?
A: The green colour is part of a universal food hygiene system, designating this board for use with fresh fruit, salads, and vegetables only.
Q: Is this Hygiplas green chopping board flexible?
A: No, this is a rigid and sturdy board designed for safe chopping on a flat surface. It is not a flexible mat.
Q: Can I use this for meat or fish?
A: It is strongly recommended not to. To prevent cross-contamination, you should use separate, colour-coded boards for raw meat (red) and raw fish (blue).
Q: Is the material safe for contact with food?
A: Absolutely. The Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) used is non-toxic and specifically chosen for its safety in food preparation environments.
Q: Will this board dull my knives quickly?
A: No, LDPE is known for being gentle on knife edges, helping to keep them sharper for longer compared to harder materials.
Q: How should I clean it?
A: It can be washed by hand with hot soapy water or placed in a commercial dishwasher for thorough cleaning and sanitisation.
Q: Why is a non-absorbent surface important?
A: A non-absorbent surface prevents the board from soaking up liquids, juices, and bacteria, making it far more hygienic and easier to clean than porous materials like wood.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of this commercial green chopping board?
A: It measures 12mm in height (thickness), 305mm in width, and 229mm in depth.
The Hygiplas Standard: Simplicity and Safety in Every Slice
When you choose a Hygiplas product, you're investing in more than just a piece of plastic; you're adopting a philosophy of straightforward, uncompromising food safety. For years, Hygiplas has been the backbone of countless British kitchens, not through flashy gimmicks, but through an unwavering focus on creating tools that are reliable, compliant, and accessible. This green chopping board Hygiplas GH793 embodies that ethos. It's a simple tool, but its role in preventing foodborne illness and ensuring you meet legal hygiene standards is monumental. The real value isn't in a long list of features, but in the long-term confidence it provides. It's the quiet reliability that lets your chefs focus on creating fantastic food, knowing the fundamentals of kitchen safety are securely in place. That's the Hygiplas advantage.
Explore more from HygiplasWhy a Non-Absorbent Surface is a Must-Have
Ever wondered why professional kitchens favour materials like LDPE over traditional wooden boards? It comes down to one crucial detail: being non-absorbent. The Low-Density Polyethylene of this Hygiplas green chopping board has a solid, non-porous surface. Think of it like a raincoat in a storm versus a woolly jumper. The raincoat (our LDPE board) repels water completely, so nothing seeps in. The woolly jumper (a wooden board) gets saturated with water, becomes heavy, and takes ages to dry.
In a kitchen, it's not just water but fruit juices, vegetable residues, and potentially harmful bacteria. A non-absorbent board ensures none of that soaks into the material. This means it can't harbour germs or old food smells, and a simple wash makes it genuinely clean and safe for the next use. It's a simple feature that provides a powerful layer of protection in your food safety management.
