Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice Deli in York was looking to streamline its busy lunch service and reinforce its food hygiene practices. The team found it challenging to keep track of which knives were used for different food types during peak hours.
"We were using standard knives and the risk of a mix-up was always on our minds. Switching to the Hygiplas colour-coded system, including this fantastic 12 inch green catering bread knife, made our prep station visually organised and much safer for our team and customers."
Mark Riley – Owner
The clear system has reduced prep errors and helped speed up their lunch rush service by an estimated 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash the knife thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.

- Store it in a corresponding green-coded knife block or a safe magnetic rack.
- Ensure all kitchen staff understand that the green handle is for fruit and veg only.
Keeping It Going
- While dishwasher safe, handwashing is often best to maintain the blade's sharpness over time.
- Hone the blade regularly with a sharpening steel to maintain its cutting performance.
- Always store it safely to protect the blade's edge and prevent accidents.
- Periodically check that the handle is secure and replace the knife if it becomes damaged.

Ever wonder why professional kitchen knives have brightly coloured handles? It’s not just for looks! This system is a core part of food safety management (like HACCP), designed to stop dangerous bacteria from spreading between different food types. Think of it like a set of traffic lights for your chopping boards: red is for raw meat, blue for raw fish, and this green one is strictly for fresh fruit, salads, and vegetables. By using the Hygiplas green handled bread slicer, you create a simple, visual barrier that prevents juices from raw meat (cut with a red knife) from ever contaminating a fresh salad, dramatically reducing the risk of food poisoning and ensuring you meet legal hygiene requirements.
