Product Overview
Here we have the unsung hero of the professional kitchen. This isn't just any bit of plastic; it's the Hygiplas GH795, a dedicated small white chopping board designed to make your food prep safer, cleaner, and more organised. It’s the kind of essential kit that you’ll use every single day, built to handle the hustle and bustle of a commercial environment without fuss.
Specifically designed for bakers, pastry chefs, and anyone handling dairy or cheese, this board is your first line of defence against cross-contamination. The universal white colour coding instantly tells your team this board is for bakery and dairy goods only, forming a crucial part of your kitchen's food safety management system. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller workstations, deli counters, or for specific, delicate tasks where a massive board would just get in the way.
Made from durable, non-absorbent, and lightweight Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), this board is tough enough for daily use but gentle on your knife edges. Best of all, it’s completely dishwasher safe, making end-of-service cleanup an absolute doddle. If you’re after a reliable, no-nonsense food safe cutting board that does its job brilliantly, you've just found it.

Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas board is a classic for a reason. It’s a straightforward, reliable workhorse. In a busy kitchen, you don’t want to be second-guessing your basics, and this board’s simple, effective design means you never have to. It's tough, hygienic, and the perfect size for those specific prep jobs that keep service running smoothly. A must-have, in my opinion.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Top for Hygiene: The non-porous surface is incredibly easy to wipe clean and sanitise.
- Limited Size: It's purpose-built for smaller tasks, not for large-scale butchery.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Deli in Oakham needed to replace their ageing wooden boards to tighten up their hygiene protocols, especially for their popular range of artisanal cheeses and baked goods.
"This Hygiplas board is a simple but effective bit of kit. It’s tough, easy to clean, and we know our sourdough isn't going to taste of the blue cheese we sliced earlier. It just works, every time."
Robert Davies – Owner
The switch streamlined their cleaning process, saving the team an estimated 15-20 minutes of scrubbing per day and eliminating any risk of cross-contamination.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a thorough wash with hot, soapy water before its first use.
- Assign it strictly for 'Bakery & Dairy' use to maintain your colour-coding system.
- For extra stability, place a damp, clean cloth underneath to stop it sliding on steel worktops.
- Store it upright in a proper board rack to allow air to circulate and dry it completely.
Keeping It Going
- Clean immediately after every use to prevent food residue from drying on.
- It's fully dishwasher safe, so use a commercial cycle for a guaranteed hygienic clean.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or steel wool, which can create deep scratches.
- Replace the board once it becomes heavily scored or grooved, as bacteria can hide in the crevices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this chopping board fully dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. The LDPE material is designed to withstand the high temperatures and detergents of commercial dishwasher cycles for easy, effective sanitisation.
Q: What is the difference between LDPE and an HDPE chopping board?
A: Both are excellent food-safe plastics. LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is slightly lighter and more flexible, while HDPE (High-Density) is more rigid and dense. This LDPE board offers great durability while being easy to handle.
Q: Why is this board specifically white?
A: In the HACCP colour-coding system for professional kitchens, white is the designated colour for preparing ready-to-eat foods, bakery items, and dairy products.
Q: Will this board blunt my professional knives?
A: Not at all. The LDPE material is softer than a steel knife blade, which helps to protect the edge and keep your knives sharper for longer.
Q: Is the surface completely smooth?
A: Yes, it features a smooth, non-porous surface that prevents absorption of juices, bacteria, and odours, making it exceptionally hygienic.
Q: How thick is this board?
A: This model has a solid thickness of 12mm, providing a sturdy and reliable cutting surface that resists warping.
Q: Can I use this for preparing raw meat?
A: We strongly advise against it. To comply with food safety standards, you should always use a separate, colour-coded board (typically red) for raw meat to prevent dangerous cross-contamination.
Q: Is the board rigid or will it bend?
A: It is a rigid board. While made from LDPE, its 12mm thickness ensures it remains flat and stable during use, providing a safe and solid cutting platform.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy a Non-Absorbent Surface is a Must
Ever wondered what 'non-absorbent' really means for a chopping board? Think of a wooden board like a kitchen sponge; over time it soaks up juices, bacteria, and odours, no matter how well you clean it. That’s why you get lingering smells or flavours. An LDPE board, on the other hand, is like a sheet of glass. Nothing can penetrate its surface. When you wash it, everything on the surface is removed, leaving it genuinely sterile and odour-free. For a commercial kitchen chopping board, this isn't just a nice feature – it's fundamental to food safety and quality, ensuring your cheesecake doesn't taste faintly of the cheddar you sliced an hour ago.
Who Should Buy This?
- Local Bakeries & Patisseries: Perfect for kneading dough, icing cakes, and handling cream-based fillings without flavour transfer.
- Deli Counters & Cheesemongers: Ideal as a dedicated board for slicing cheeses and preparing sandwiches safely and hygienically.
- Independent Cafés: A brilliant, compact choice for small food prep areas behind the counter for cakes and snacks.
- Culinary Schools & Training Kitchens: An essential, affordable tool for teaching students correct food hygiene practices from day one.
