Hygiplas Extra Thick High Density Red Chopping Board Large

£51.45(£61.74 inc VAT)

This is a large, extra thick chopping board made from high density polyethylene, colour-coded red to indicate use with raw meat in line with standard commercial kitchen food safety protocols. The board is supplied by Hygiplas, a well-established name in catering smallwares, and is a straightforward, practical piece of kit used widely across professional kitchens.

High density polyethylene is the material of choice for commercial chopping boards for good reason. It resists moisture absorption, does not harbour odours, and holds up well to repeated use with heavy knives and cleavers. The extra thickness on this board gives it noticeably better rigidity and longevity compared to standard-depth alternatives, reducing the tendency to warp or flex during prep work — which matters on a busy raw meat station.

From an operational standpoint, a board of this size and weight earns its place in kitchens where raw meat preparation is a regular part of the workflow:

Red colour coding supports HACCP compliance without additional labelling
Non-absorbent surface reduces cross-contamination risk
Extra thickness adds stability during heavy chopping tasks
Dishwasher safe construction suits kitchen cleaning routines
Large surface area suits portioning and preparation of whole joints or larger cuts

At 6.6kg, this is a substantial board. It will stay put on a prep surface during use, but it is worth considering storage and handling for staff, particularly at the end of service. It is best suited to a fixed prep station rather than being moved repeatedly across a kitchen.

This board suits most commercial kitchens operating a colour-coded system — from pub kitchens and hotel operations to contract catering and school meal services. Kitchens handling lighter or lower-volume raw meat prep may find a standard-depth board sufficient; conversely, high-throughput butchery or production environments may benefit from reviewing heavier-duty or larger-format options.

If you are building out a full colour-coded board system or want to confirm the right sizes and quantities for your kitchen setup, the team are happy to help you work through it.

Hygiplas Extra Thick High Density Blue Chopping Board Large

£51.45(£61.74 inc VAT)

This is a large, extra-thick chopping board from Hygiplas, made from high-density polyethylene and supplied in blue — the colour conventionally designated for raw fish preparation under UK food hygiene colour-coding systems. At 25mm thick, it carries noticeably more material than standard-weight boards, which means it sits more firmly on the work surface and resists warping over time under repeated knife contact.

High-density polyethylene is the preferred material for commercial chopping boards for good reason. It is non-absorbent, which prevents bacteria migrating into the board itself, and it is odourless and non-toxic — relevant when boards are used across different preparation tasks during a service shift. The material also tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles without significant degradation, which matters in kitchens where boards are turned around quickly between services.

The practical advantages of this board in day-to-day kitchen operation include:

Complies with food hygiene colour-coding regulations for allergen and cross-contamination control
Non-absorbent surface does not harbour bacteria between cleaning cycles
Extra thickness gives greater rigidity and extends working life under heavy use
Compatible with commercial dishwashers for fast turnaround between services
Substantial board size suits butchery, fish prep, and high-volume portioning tasks

The board's size and weight — at 6.65kg — means it is best suited to a fixed prep station rather than being moved frequently around the kitchen. It is a working board for dedicated prep areas, not a lightweight option for flexible service use.

This size is well suited to professional kitchens with dedicated fish preparation areas, whether in restaurants, hotels, or catering operations. Kitchens with lighter or less frequent prep requirements may find a thinner or smaller board more practical for everyday handling.

If you are building out a full colour-coded board set or are unsure which sizes best suit your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.
