Product Overview
Here’s a real workhorse for any professional kitchen. The Hygiplas Grip Cutting Board is designed from the ground up to make food prep safer, cleaner, and more precise. Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this board is tough enough for daily use, non-absorbent to prevent bacteria from lurking, and brilliantly simple to clean. It’s the kind of essential kit that you’ll wonder how you ever managed without.
Specifically created for bakeries, delis, and kitchens handling dairy, this commercial white chopping board is colour-coded to help you nail your food safety procedures and avoid cross-contamination. The clever anti-slip feet and corner bumpers mean it stays put, even during vigorous chopping, giving your chefs the stable surface they need for consistent, safe work. It’s a straightforward, effective tool built for the demands of a commercial environment.
Beyond its core function, thoughtful details like the embossed ruler for precision cuts and its stain-resistant surface make this board a cut above the rest. It’s not just a piece of plastic; it’s an investment in your kitchen’s efficiency and hygiene. If you’re looking to upgrade your prep game with a reliable, no-fuss solution, this is it.

Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas HW008 gets the fundamentals absolutely spot on. In a professional setting, you need tools that are reliable and compliant, not flashy. This board delivers exactly that.

- Practical Design: The grip feet and integrated ruler are genuinely useful, not just gimmicks.
- Standard Thickness: At 12mm, it's perfect for general prep but not for heavy-duty cleaver work.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Patisserie in Oakham, Rutland, needed to standardise their prep stations to improve both safety and consistency. Their old collection of mismatched boards were prone to slipping and made colour-coded food safety a daily challenge.
"The stability of these boards is fantastic. The team feels more confident during busy periods, as the boards don't shift an inch. The white colour makes them perfect for our pastry and cream work, and they clean up beautifully. A simple change that made a big difference to our workflow."
Robert Davies – Head Pastry Chef
The switch resulted in a more organised kitchen, visibly reducing cross-contamination risks and speeding up the prep of delicate pastry items thanks to the stable, reliable surface.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Assign the board immediately to its correct station (bakery/dairy) to maintain your colour-coding system.
- Ensure the work surface is clean and dry before placing the board down to maximise grip.
Keeping It Going
- Clean after every use with a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive scourers which can create scratches where bacteria can hide.
- While durable, avoid exposing it to extreme heat or placing in high-temperature dishwashers to prevent warping.
- Replace the board when it becomes heavily scored or worn, as deep grooves can be difficult to clean effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this chopping board dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it is safe for low-temperature commercial dishwashers. To prevent potential warping over time, avoid high-temperature cycles.
Q: What is the white colour specifically for?
A: In the industry-standard colour-coding system, white is designated for use with bakery items (bread, pastries) and dairy products (cheese).
Q: Can I use this for raw meat?
A: It is strongly recommended not to. To prevent cross-contamination, you should use a separate, colour-coded board (typically red) for raw meat.
Q: What is HDPE?
A: HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene. It's a durable, food-grade plastic that is non-porous and non-toxic, making it the ideal material for professional chopping boards.
Q: Do the anti-slip feet actually work on wet surfaces?
A: They provide a significant grip on both wet and dry surfaces, but for maximum stability, it's always best to ensure the worktop is as dry as possible.
Q: Is this board flexible or rigid?
A: It is a rigid board. Its 12mm thickness ensures a solid and stable cutting surface, unlike thin, flexible mats.
Q: Will the embossed ruler fade or wash off over time?
A: The ruler is embossed (pressed into the plastic), not printed, so it will not fade or wash off during cleaning.
Q: How can I remove stubborn stains, like from beetroot or turmeric?
A: For tough stains, a solution of bleach and water or a specialised food-safe cleaning paste can be effective. Always rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Ever tried to chop quickly on a board that keeps sliding away? It’s not just annoying; it’s a genuine safety risk. The anti-slip feet on this Hygiplas board are designed to solve that exact problem. Think of it like trying to write on a wobbly table versus a solid desk—one gives you control and precision, while the other leads to messy, frustrating results. These small rubberised feet, combined with the corner bumpers, grip onto your work surface, whether it's stainless steel or granite. This means the board stays locked in place, allowing your chefs to work faster and more confidently, all while drastically reducing the chance of a knife slipping. It’s a simple feature that provides critical stability when it matters most.
