Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Severn Boar, a busy gastro-pub in Bristol, needed to overhaul their prep station hygiene. Their old, mismatched plastic racks were cracked and a nightmare to clean, raising concerns during internal audits about cross-contamination.
"This Hygiplas rack is a simple bit of kit, but it’s made our prep line so much slicker. No more boards sliding about, and the team can grab what they need instantly. It just works."
David Chen – Head Chef, The Severn Boar
The result was immediate. They reported a significant improvement in their food safety audit scores and reduced daily cleaning time at the prep station by around 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the rack a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Place it on a flat, stable work surface where it's easily accessible.
- Make sure the rubber feet are clean to give you the best possible grip.
- Arrange your boards in the order that makes the most sense for your kitchen's flow.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe it down daily with a food-safe sanitiser to keep it hygienic.
- For a deeper clean, use a soft cloth or sponge – avoid abrasive scourers to protect the finish.
- Check the feet every so often for any grease or debris that might stop them from gripping.
- Never use harsh chemicals or bleach, as this can damage the stainless steel.

A: The unit measures 280mm in height, 328mm in width, and 297mm in depth.
Q: Is the stainless steel food-safe?
A: Yes, it is constructed from 202 stainless steel, a material widely used in commercial kitchens for its durability and hygienic properties.
Q: Will it scratch my stainless steel worktops?
A: No, it is fitted with strong, rubberised feet that are designed to prevent scratches while also stopping the rack from slipping on wet surfaces.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy an Open, Upright Design is a Hygiene Hero
Ever wondered why this catering chopping board storage rack is designed like a toast rack and not just a simple box? It's all about hygiene. The open, upright slots are engineered to allow air to circulate freely around every surface of each chopping board you place inside. Think of it like a dedicated drying rack for your boards. When you stack damp boards on top of each other or lay them flat, you trap moisture. That damp, dark environment is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. This design ensures your boards can dry quickly and thoroughly after washing, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth and making your kitchen a much safer place.
