Product Information

Full details

The Hygiplas Low Density Chopping Board Set is an essential tool for professional kitchens and home cooks who prioritize food safety and hygiene. By utilizing a standardized color-coded system, this set helps prevent cross-contamination between raw meats, cooked foods, and produce, ensuring compliance with health regulations. While the lightweight polyethylene construction makes them easy to maneuver, users should be aware that these boards can develop deep knife marks over time, which may require more frequent replacement compared to heavier-duty wooden or high-density boards.

FAQs

What do the different colors mean?

While standards can vary, the industry typically uses red for raw meat, yellow for cooked meat, blue for raw fish, green for salads and fruit, white for bakery and dairy, and brown for vegetables.

Can I use these boards with a sharp chef's knife?

Yes, the polyethylene material is softer than metal, which helps keep your knife blades sharp, but it will show cut marks more easily than hardwood.

Are these boards BPA free?

Yes, Hygiplas polyethylene boards are food-grade and manufactured to be safe for all food preparation tasks.

How do I know when to replace a board?

You should replace your boards if they develop deep, permanent grooves that cannot be cleaned, or if they lose their shape and no longer lay flat.

Can the rack be wall-mounted?

The rack is designed primarily for countertop storage; please check the specific hardware included for any wall-mounting capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Board is sliding during food prep

Place a damp kitchen towel or a non-slip silicone mat underneath the board to increase grip.

Surface is heavily stained from produce

Create a paste of baking soda and water, scrub the area, and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing.

Board appears warped

Warping is typically caused by high-temperature dishwashers. Avoid using heated dry cycles or boiling water for cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Hygiplas boards, follow these best practices:

  1. Placement: Install the storage rack on a flat, stable surface or mount according to the included chart guidelines.
  2. Cleaning: Wash boards thoroughly after each use with hot, soapy water. While many polyethylene boards are dishwasher safe, hand-washing is recommended to prevent warping under high heat.
  3. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the boards for deep grooves where bacteria can harbor. If a board shows significant surface damage, it should be replaced to ensure food safety.
  4. Storage: Always ensure the boards are completely dry before placing them back into the rack to prevent moisture buildup.
