The Hygiplas large low density chopping board is a straightforward, practical piece of prep kit designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. Made from low density polyethylene, it provides a generously sized work surface well suited to breaking down larger ingredients, batch prepping vegetables, portioning meat, or working through high volumes of prep during busy service build-up.

Low density polyethylene is a common choice for commercial prep boards because it offers a degree of give underfoot of the blade, which helps preserve knife edges over time while still being robust enough to withstand sustained daily use. The non-porous surface resists moisture absorption, making the board straightforward to clean and sanitise between tasks — an important practical consideration in any kitchen operating under food safety requirements.

The board is available in the standard HACCP colour-coding system, which supports good cross-contamination practice by designating a separate board for each food type:

  • Blue — raw fish
  • Brown — vegetables
  • Green — salad and fruit
  • Red — raw meat
  • White — bakery and dairy
  • Yellow — cooked meats

For most kitchens, the large size is the right choice for general prep use. Smaller boards suit garnishing stations or tight prep areas, while high-volume sites processing significant quantities of a single ingredient may benefit from having multiple boards of the same colour in rotation to maintain hygiene standards without interrupting workflow.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or standardising your prep board setup and would like guidance on quantities or sizing, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

Frequently asked questions

How many chopping boards does a commercial kitchen typically need?

Most kitchens running the full HACCP colour system need at least one board per colour category in active use, with spares available so boards can be rotated through the dishwasher without interrupting prep. High-volume sites often keep two or three boards of the same colour in circulation during busy service build-up periods.

What is the difference between low density and high density chopping boards?

Low density polyethylene boards have a slightly softer surface that offers more give under the blade, which is easier on knife edges and tends to be the preferred choice for general prep work. High density boards are harder and more rigid, which suits applications where the board needs to resist heavy impact or where a firmer surface is preferable, such as heavy butchery work.

Are these boards suitable for use in a dishwasher?

Low density polyethylene boards are generally compatible with commercial dishwashers, though repeated high-temperature cycles over time can cause some warping. Regular inspection for deep score marks or surface damage is good practice, as heavily scored boards become harder to clean effectively and should be replaced to maintain hygiene standards.
