Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Cumbrian Grill', a popular family-run eatery in Penrith, needed to overhaul its kitchen practices to streamline service and ace their upcoming health inspection. They invested in several Hygiplas colour-coded sets, including this red one for their busy grill station.
"The colour coding system has taken all the stress out of our prep work. The team knows exactly what to grab for the steaks and burgers, and our new trainee got the hang of it on day one. It's simple, but it's made our kitchen flow so much smoother and safer."
Michael Edwards – Head Chef
Following the implementation, the kitchen passed its environmental health inspection with a 5-star rating, and the team reported a 20% reduction in prep time for raw meat dishes due to the improved workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the board, tongs, and thermometer probe thoroughly in hot, soapy water.
- Insert one AAA battery into the digital thermometer, ensuring the compartment is securely closed.
- Designate a specific area in your kitchen for your red, raw-meat equipment to avoid misplacement.
- Brief your team on the 'red for raw meat' rule to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Keeping It Going
- Always clean and sanitise all three items immediately after handling raw meat.
- The chopping board and tongs are dishwasher safe for easy and effective sterilisation.
- To prevent warping, store the chopping board flat or in a dedicated rack. Avoid leaning it against hot equipment.
- Regularly check the thermometer's accuracy using the ice water or boiling water method.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the red colour coding signify in a professional kitchen?
A: Red is universally used in UK kitchens to signify equipment that should only be used for handling raw meat, like beef, lamb, and pork.
Q: Is the chopping board dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, the LDPE chopping board is designed to be commercial dishwasher safe for thorough sanitation.
Q: Can the thermometer display temperatures in Fahrenheit?
A: Yes, the Hygiplas red food thermometer can be easily switched between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) readings.
Q: Are the tongs heat resistant?
A: The stainless steel tongs are designed for food prep, not direct use on a hot grill or pan. The vinyl-coated handle provides grip but is not intended for high-heat contact.
Q: What is the board made of? Will it damage my knives?
A: It's made from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), a material that is tough enough to resist scoring but soft enough that it won't prematurely dull your knife edges.
Q: How accurate is the thermometer?
A: It is accurate to within 1°C, providing reliable temperature checks to ensure food is cooked safely.
Q: Is this set suitable for handling raw poultry?
A: While red is for raw meat, the recommended colour for raw poultry (like chicken and turkey) is yellow. It's best practice to have a separate yellow set to prevent cross-contamination between different types of raw meat.
Q: Why are there no recesses on the tongs?
A: This is a deliberate hygienic design feature. A smooth, seamless construction prevents food and bacteria from getting trapped, making the tongs much easier to clean and sanitise.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy Colour-Coding is Your Kitchen's Secret Weapon
Ever wonder why professional kitchens are so keen on different coloured chopping boards? It’s not about aesthetics; it’s one of the simplest and most effective food safety systems you can use. Think of it like a traffic light system for your ingredients. Red means 'stop and think: raw meat only'. Green is for salads and fruit, blue for raw fish, and so on. This immediately stops the dangerous germs from raw chicken, for example, from getting anywhere near a ready-to-eat salad via a contaminated board or knife.
This Hygiplas food safety board pack makes that system effortless. By physically separating the tools for high-risk foods like raw meat, you’re creating a powerful visual cue for your entire team. It massively reduces the chance of human error during busy services, protecting your customers from foodborne illnesses and your business from the serious consequences of a hygiene breach. It's a simple habit that has a huge impact.
