- Best Feature: An all-in-one pack that makes implementing food safety rules incredibly easy.
- Heads-Up: The knife is a solid all-rounder, but not a specialised vegetable cleaver.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a busy pizza parlour in Cardiff, needed to overhaul its prep process to separate gluten-free salad prep from its main flour-heavy environment. They introduced the Hygiplas green food preparation set to create a distinct, easy-to-manage, salad-only zone.
"It sounds simple, but having the green board and tools made all the difference. The team instantly knows 'green is clean' and it's for salads only. It's removed the risk of cross-contamination and our EHO was really impressed on their last visit."
Ben Carter – Owner
The new system helped them reduce potential allergen risks and improved staff confidence in their food safety procedures.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash all three items thoroughly in warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- Designate a specific area in your kitchen for 'green prep' to avoid mix-ups.
- Store the board upright or on a rack to allow air to circulate and ensure it dries completely.
- Brief your team: ensure everyone knows green is exclusively for fruit and salad.
Keeping It Going
- Clean immediately after use to prevent food from drying on.
- The chopping board is dishwasher safe for a hygienic clean; the knife and tongs should be hand-washed.
- Regularly sharpen the cook's knife to maintain performance and safety (a sharp knife is safer than a dull one).
- Periodically check the board for deep scores; replace it when the surface becomes heavily worn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the green colour coding specifically for?
A: In the UK, green is universally recognised for the preparation of fresh fruit and salads.
Q: Is the chopping board resistant to staining?
A: The non-porous HDPE material is highly resistant to staining and odours, especially when cleaned promptly after use.
Q: Can the board go in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, the Hygiplas chopping board is designed to be dishwasher safe for easy and effective sanitisation.
Q: What kind of steel is the knife made from?
A: It's made from stainless steel, which is chosen for its durability, resistance to rust, and ease of maintenance in a commercial kitchen.
Q: How can I stop the chopping board from warping?
A: To prevent warping, allow the board to cool down after a dishwasher cycle before use, and always store it flat or on a slotted rack.
Q: Are the tongs easy to clean?
A: Yes, they are made from a single piece of bent stainless steel with no hinges or crevices where food particles and bacteria can become trapped.
Q: Is this set suitable for a brand new business?
A: Absolutely. This Hygiplas chopping board and tongs set is an ideal, cost-effective starter pack for establishing good food safety practices from day one.
Q: What's the main benefit of a high-density polyethylene board?

Explore more from HygiplasWhy a Non-Porous Surface is a Kitchen Hero
Ever notice how an old chopping board can smell a bit like onions, no matter how much you scrub it? That's because it's porous, meaning it has tiny holes that absorb liquids, flavours, and bacteria. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) used in this Hygiplas board is non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a glass plate. A sponge soaks everything up, while everything on the glass plate just sits on the surface waiting to be wiped away. This means no lingering flavours will transfer to your delicate fruits, and more importantly, no nasty germs can hide inside the board after cleaning. It's a simple feature that provides a huge boost to your food safety.
