- Top Marks for Simplicity: Incredibly straightforward and effective for organising boards and upholding hygiene protocols.
- Countertop Only: Lacks pre-drilled holes, so it's not designed for wall-mounting without modification.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli, a popular sandwich shop in Cardiff, was struggling with countertop clutter during their hectic lunch rush. Their old, mismatched system for storing chopping boards was inefficient and a constant worry for their EHO inspections.
"We needed a simple, professional fix. The Hygiplas rack was exactly that. It instantly tidied up our main prep counter and made it so much easier for staff to grab the right board. It looks clean, professional, and shows we're on top of our food safety."
David Williams – Owner, The Corner Deli
After introducing the rack, the team streamlined their prep workflow, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and cutting down on cleaning time between orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the rack from its packaging and give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Place it on a flat, stable work surface, ensuring it doesn't obstruct any busy walkways or prep areas.
- Position it where your colour-coded boards are most frequently used to make your workflow smooth and efficient.
- Arrange your chopping boards in the slots according to your kitchen's system for easy access.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the rack daily with a food-safe sanitiser to keep it clean and hygienic.
- For a deeper clean, the rack is small enough to be washed thoroughly in a pot wash sink.
- Regularly check the rack for any signs of damage or deep scratches that could harbour bacteria.
- Ensure the area underneath the rack is cleaned daily to prevent build-up of moisture and debris.

Ever wonder why health inspectors are so keen on how you store your chopping boards? It's all about preventing cross-contamination, and this 7 slot chopping board rack is your secret weapon. Think of it like traffic lights for your kitchen. Using a red board for raw meat and a green one for salad is step one, but if they're stored touching each other while wet, bacteria can still cross over. A dedicated rack creates a physical barrier between each board, ensuring they stay in their own lane.
This simple piece of plastic turns a good idea (colour-coding) into a robust, failsafe system. It's a key part of a 'Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points' (HACCP) plan because it actively controls the risk of foodborne illness. By keeping boards separate and allowing air to circulate for proper drying, you're not just tidying up; you're building a safer kitchen from the ground up.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Pubs: Keep your main kitchen and prep areas organised and compliant during busy services.
- Cafés & Sandwich Bars: Essential for preventing cross-contamination between allergens, meats, and fresh produce.
- Schools & Care Homes: A visual and practical tool for teaching and enforcing high food hygiene standards.
- Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: A compact and stable chopping board storage rack that keeps limited space tidy and safe.
