Hygiplas Other Equipment

The Hygiplas Allergy Awareness Bundle is a complete set of colour-coded kitchen tools intended solely for use when preparing or handling allergen-containing ingredients. Every item in the bundle is purple — the recognised colour designation for allergen use — covering the key tasks a kitchen team would carry out during service: chopping, cutting, portioning, cooking, and temperature checking.

In a busy commercial kitchen, the risk of cross-contamination comes as much from shared equipment as it does from shared preparation surfaces. A dedicated tool set removes the need to rely on visual checks or verbal reminders during service. Staff can identify allergen-specific equipment at a glance, which is particularly important in high-pressure periods when communication becomes harder and the margin for error narrows.

The bundle covers the practical range of tasks involved in allergen-aware cooking:

• Dedicated chopping board for allergen ingredient prep
• Cook's knife, bread knife, serrated pastry knife, and paring knife — all purple-handled
• Serving tong and scissors for handling and portioning
• Pizza wheel for allergen-specific pastry or dough work
• Frypan for isolated cooking away from shared pans
• EasyTemp digital thermometer for safe temperature monitoring
• Colour-coded wall chart for staff reference and allergen awareness training support

This bundle is well suited to any catering operation required to manage the fourteen major allergens under UK food safety legislation — including restaurants, cafés, school kitchens, care homes, and contract catering sites. It provides a practical starting point for allergen segregation, though it works best as part of a broader allergen management policy rather than as a standalone solution.

If you're putting together allergen protocols across a larger team or multiple preparation areas, it's worth having a conversation with us about what else may be needed to support a consistent approach.

The Hygiplas Platinum Plus frying pan is a colour-coded aluminium pan with a Teflon non-stick coating, designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. The blue handle identifies it as the pan designated for fish preparation and cooking, supporting allergen and cross-contamination controls in busy kitchen environments.

In practice, the Platinum Plus coating performs reliably across a standard service shift, releasing food cleanly and requiring less oil or fat than an uncoated pan. It is compatible with all hob types, including induction, which makes it straightforward to integrate into kitchens where the hob setup varies across stations. The hanging hook on the handle allows the pan to be stored on a rack or rail, keeping it accessible and off worktops.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Colour-coded handle supports HACCP-compliant cross-contamination controls
• Teflon Platinum Plus coating reduces oil usage and aids food release
• Induction-compatible — works across all common hob types
• Hanging hook allows rack or rail storage, freeing worktop space
• Hand wash construction keeps maintenance straightforward between services

This pan is suited to kitchens that operate a colour-coded smallwares policy, particularly where fish cookery is a regular part of the menu. It is a practical everyday pan rather than a heavy-duty piece, and higher-volume operations or those requiring more intensive use may find a thicker-gauge or cast option more appropriate for their throughput.

If you are building out a full colour-coded pan set or want guidance on which sizes and coatings suit your menu, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Hygiplas Platinum Plus is a 24cm aluminium frying pan with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and a colour-coded blue handle. It is designed for everyday use in professional kitchens where durability and basic hygiene controls are both priorities.

In a working kitchen environment, the Teflon Platinum Plus coating performs reliably for general pan-frying tasks, requiring less oil or fat than uncoated alternatives and releasing food cleanly with consistent results. The aluminium construction heats quickly and evenly, which is useful during busy service when speed matters. The pan is also induction compatible, making it suitable for kitchens running induction hobs as well as conventional gas or electric ranges.

From a practical standpoint, the blue handle serves a straightforward but important purpose — it supports colour-coded kitchen systems, where blue typically denotes fish preparation. This helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination in kitchens operating allergen or food-type separation protocols. The handle also includes a hanging hook for easy storage on a pot rack or hook rail, keeping the pan accessible without taking up worktop space.

• Non-stick coating reduces oil use and simplifies food release
• Colour-coded handle supports allergen and cross-contamination controls
• Induction compatible — works across most hob types
• Hanging hook keeps storage tidy and access quick
• Easy to hand wash, keeping turnaround between uses straightforward

This pan is well suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, or as part of a coordinated set across a larger brigade. It is a sensible everyday workhorse rather than a heavy-duty pan built for continuous high-volume service. For kitchens with very high throughput or rough handling environments, a heavier-gauge alternative may hold up better over time.

If you are building out a full colour-coded pan set or have questions about which specification suits your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help you get it right.

The Hygiplas Platinum Plus frying pan is a lightweight aluminium pan with a Teflon non-stick coating, finished with a colour-coded blue handle. It is a straightforward, everyday cooking pan designed for busy commercial kitchens that operate under HACCP colour-coding systems.

In a working kitchen environment, the Teflon Platinum Plus coating performs reliably for pan-frying with minimal oil or fat, which helps reduce both running costs and cleaning time. The non-stick surface releases food cleanly and wipes down quickly between uses, which matters during a busy service when turnaround time counts. The blue handle designation is most commonly used for fish, making it easy for kitchen staff to reach for the correct pan without hesitation.

• Colour-coded handle supports HACCP allergen and cross-contamination controls
• Non-stick surface reduces oil usage and simplifies cleaning after service
• Hanging hook on the handle keeps the pan accessible and easy to store
• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue during extended service periods

This pan is suited to hand washing rather than machine washing, which is worth factoring into your kitchen's cleaning routine. At 19cm it is a smaller pan, practical for single-portion work, garnishes, or dedicated fish cookware where a compact size is an advantage. It is not designed for induction hobs — if your range includes induction burners, check compatibility before ordering.

This pan suits smaller kitchens, cafés, and any operation where colour-coded cookware is part of the food safety system. For higher-volume sections or kitchens requiring a larger cooking surface, a bigger or heavier-gauge pan may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a colour-coded cookware set or want to talk through what pan sizes suit your menu and service volume, the team is happy to help.

This is a 24cm aluminium frying pan from Hygiplas, coated with Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick and fitted with a red handle for colour-coded kitchen use. It is a straightforward, lightweight pan suited to everyday frying tasks in professional catering environments.

The Teflon Platinum Plus coating offers good food release and is more resistant to abrasion than standard non-stick surfaces, which helps extend the working life of the pan under regular commercial use. The aluminium construction heats evenly and quickly, making it practical for fast-turnaround cooking during busy service periods.

The red handle follows the widely adopted colour-coding system used across professional kitchens to reduce cross-contamination risk — red typically designates raw meat. This makes it a practical choice for operations that follow allergen and food safety protocols requiring dedicated cookware per food group.

• Colour-coded handle supports allergen and food safety compliance
• Teflon Platinum Plus coating improves durability over standard non-stick
• Lightweight aluminium construction for quick, even heat distribution
• Easy to clean, reducing turnaround time between service covers

This pan is best suited to smaller kitchens, cafés, and operations that need a reliable, cost-effective non-stick option at the 24cm size. It is not intended for high-heat searing or continuous heavy-volume frying — for that, a heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate. It is also worth confirming hob compatibility, as aluminium pans of this type are not suitable for induction hobs unless the base is specifically designed for it.

If you are equipping a kitchen with a full colour-coded cookware set or have questions about which pan sizes suit your menu, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Hygiplas frying pan is a lightweight aluminium pan finished with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and a colour-coded purple handle. It is a practical, everyday piece of smallware designed for commercial kitchen use, where speed, hygiene, and consistency across a brigade matter.

The non-stick surface reduces the need for excess oil and makes it easier to turn and release ingredients cleanly during service. The purple handle follows the Hygiplas colour-coding system, which is commonly used in professional kitchens to separate equipment by allergen or food type — a straightforward way to support due diligence without any additional investment in labelling or signage.

• Colour-coded handle supports allergen separation and kitchen hygiene protocols
• Non-stick coating reduces oil use and simplifies pan cleaning between covers
• Lightweight aluminium construction suits fast-paced prep and service environments
• 24cm diameter is a practical size for single-portion cooking and sautéing

As with all non-stick cookware in a commercial setting, care during use and cleaning will extend the life of the coating. Avoid metal utensils directly on the surface and follow the manufacturer's care guidance — particularly relevant in kitchens where multiple staff handle the same equipment.

This pan is well suited to smaller operations, café kitchens, and secondary preparation areas. For higher-volume sites or kitchens running continuous service across multiple burners, a heavier-gauge pan may offer better long-term durability.

If you are equipping a kitchen and want to discuss colour-coding systems or cookware selection for your service style, the team is happy to help.

This Hygiplas frying pan is a compact aluminium pan with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and a colour-coded purple handle. The 20cm diameter makes it a smaller pan, well suited to individual portions, light sautéing, or situations where a larger pan would be impractical on a busy range.

The Teflon Platinum Plus coating is a step above standard non-stick finishes, offering better resistance to abrasion and making it more practical for daily commercial use — provided it is treated with appropriate utensils and washed correctly. Aluminium construction keeps the pan lightweight and responsive to heat changes, which is useful when working quickly through service.

The purple handle is part of Hygiplas's colour-coding system, designed to support allergen control and cross-contamination management in professional kitchens. Assigning specific pans to specific food groups is straightforward to maintain when the equipment itself carries the colour identifier.

• Colour-coded handle supports allergen management procedures
• Lightweight aluminium construction for quick, responsive cooking
• Non-stick coating reduces food sticking and simplifies cleaning
• Compact size suits individual portions and à la carte service

This pan is practical for cafés, small kitchens, and operations running allergen-controlled workflows. For higher-volume or more intensive frying, a heavier-gauge pan may be worth considering. If you are building out a matched set across multiple allergen categories or want to discuss the right sizing for your service style, the team is happy to help.

This is a lightweight aluminium frying pan from Hygiplas, finished with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and fitted with a red handle for colour-coded kitchen organisation. At 20cm, it sits at the smaller end of the commercial pan range, making it suited to individual portions, breakfast items, sauces, and light sauté work rather than high-volume batch cooking.

In a working kitchen, the Teflon Platinum Plus coating holds up reasonably well against daily use, offering a reliable non-stick surface that helps reduce oil consumption and speeds up cleaning between covers. The aluminium construction keeps the pan light and responsive to heat changes, which suits fast-paced service where operators are moving between tasks. It is not designed for induction hobs — gas and solid top ranges are the appropriate heat sources for this pan.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Colour-coded red handle supports allergen and protein separation protocols
• Non-stick surface reduces the need for excess cooking fat
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long service periods
• Quick to clean between uses, supporting kitchen turnaround
• Consistent heat distribution across the aluminium base

This pan is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, bed and breakfast kitchens, school canteens, and smaller hospitality sites — where a compact, everyday pan is needed for portion-level cooking. It is not intended for heavy-duty continuous use in high-volume kitchens; for those environments, a heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate.

If you are building out a set of colour-coded smallwares or want to discuss which pan sizes best suit your menu and service style, the team is happy to help.

This Hygiplas frying pan is a straightforward aluminium pan with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and a colour-coded green handle. The green handle follows the widely adopted kitchen colour-coding system, helping teams separate cookware used for different food groups and reduce the risk of cross-contamination during busy service periods.

Aluminium construction gives the pan good heat conductivity, meaning it responds quickly to temperature changes on both gas and electric ranges. The Teflon Platinum Plus coating is a reinforced non-stick surface intended to withstand the regular use typical of a commercial kitchen, making it easier to cook lower-fat dishes and simplifying pan cleaning between covers.

In practical kitchen use, pans like this are commonly found in staff restaurants, care home kitchens, pub kitchens, and smaller restaurant operations. The 28cm diameter suits single-portion work, omelettes, fish fillets, and general sauté tasks. It is a workhorse pan rather than a specialist item.

A few things worth bearing in mind: aluminium non-stick pans are not induction-compatible unless the base includes a bonded steel layer — check your hob type before ordering. Non-stick coatings also require some care; metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will shorten the coating's life. For high-turnover operations running pans hard through multiple services, a cast aluminium or stainless-clad option may prove more durable over time.

This pan is well suited to kitchens that need reliable, colour-coded cookware for everyday use without a significant outlay. If you are equipping a full section or need guidance on the right pan specification for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

This Hygiplas frying pan is a straightforward aluminium pan with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and a colour-coded green handle. The green handle follows the standard colour-coding system widely used in commercial kitchens to help separate equipment by food type and reduce cross-contamination risk.

In a working kitchen environment, a reliable non-stick surface makes a practical difference during busy service — proteins and eggs release cleanly, residue is easier to manage between orders, and cleaning at the end of service is quicker. The aluminium construction heats up quickly and responds well to temperature adjustments, which suits fast-paced cooking on gas or electric hob ranges.

• Colour-coded green handle supports allergen and cross-contamination control
• Non-stick coating reduces sticking and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Lightweight aluminium body heats quickly and responds to temperature changes
• Suitable for general frying tasks across a range of kitchen types

This is a standard-weight pan suited to everyday use rather than sustained high-heat cooking over long shifts. It is worth noting that non-stick coatings will degrade with metal utensils or abrasive cleaning — using appropriate utensils and avoiding harsh scourers will extend the working life of the pan considerably.

The 24cm diameter makes it a practical size for single portions and smaller quantities. Kitchens handling higher volumes simultaneously may find it worth reviewing the wider range of sizes available. If you are equipping a kitchen and want to make sure you are selecting the right pan sizes for your menu and service style, the team is happy to help.

The Hygiplas 20cm aluminium frying pan features a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating and a colour-coded green handle. It is a compact, everyday pan intended for use in professional kitchen environments where lightness, ease of cleaning, and allergen colour-coding are practical priorities.

In a working kitchen, the non-stick surface helps with lower-fat cooking, reduces food adhesion during service, and makes cleaning between covers faster. The aluminium construction keeps weight low, which matters during prolonged service when staff are handling pans repeatedly. The 20cm diameter is best suited to single-portion work — eggs, small omelettes, sautéed garnishes — rather than batch cooking.

• Colour-coded green handle supports allergen segregation protocols
• Teflon Platinum Plus coating offers good release and is straightforward to clean
• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue during extended service
• Compact size suits single-portion or à la carte cooking

Non-stick aluminium pans of this type are not intended for high-heat searing or use under a salamander. They perform best on moderate heat and will show wear over time in very high-turnover environments. Using metal utensils will shorten the life of the coating, so plastic or silicone utensils are recommended. This pan is part of a colour-coded range, which helps kitchens running allergen management systems keep equipment clearly segregated.

This pan suits smaller kitchens, café operations, and à la carte sections where a lightweight, colour-coded non-stick option is needed for light cooking tasks. For high-volume or high-heat applications, a heavier-gauge or cast alternative would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a section and want guidance on pan sizes or which colour-coding scheme fits your allergen procedures, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Hygiplas Pro chef knife in green is a compact general-purpose knife designed for salad and fruit preparation in professional catering environments. The 16cm blade offers a practical balance of control and reach, making it well suited to lighter prep tasks such as slicing soft fruits, segmenting citrus, chopping salad leaves, and trimming garnishes. It sits in the Hygiplas colour-coded range, where green designates use with salads and fruit under standard HACCP protocols.

In a busy kitchen, colour-coded knives reduce the risk of cross-contamination between food groups without relying solely on verbal instruction or labelling. Green handles are widely recognised across the industry for salad and fruit zones, so the system integrates naturally into existing HACCP documentation and staff training. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber, providing a reasonably secure grip in wet conditions — an important practical consideration during high-throughput prep shifts.

The shorter blade length makes this knife particularly useful in tighter prep spaces or where staff are handling smaller produce volumes. It is commonly found in:

• School and contract catering kitchens with structured HACCP colour systems
• Salad bars and deli counters requiring dedicated fruit prep knives
• Hospital and care sector kitchens with strict allergen and cross-contamination controls
• Hotel and restaurant prep sections as a supplementary smaller knife

This is a straightforward, dependable knife rather than a premium chef's tool. For operations needing a longer blade for more substantial prep work, other sizes within the Hygiplas range are worth considering. If you are building out a full colour-coded knife set or reviewing your HACCP knife allocation across sections, the team is happy to advise on what works in practice.

The Hygiplas Pro paring knife is a short-bladed prep knife designed for close-work vegetable tasks in professional kitchens — peeling, trimming, shaping, and removing blemishes from produce. It is a straightforward, well-made tool that does exactly what a paring knife should, without unnecessary weight or bulk.

In a busy prep environment, the compact blade length gives cooks precise control over detailed cuts where a longer blade would be unwieldy. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber, which provides a secure grip even when hands are wet — a practical consideration during sustained prep sessions. The ergonomic shape also helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks.

The brown colour coding on the handle identifies this knife for use in vegetable preparation areas, which is consistent with widely adopted HACCP colour-coding systems. This makes it straightforward to integrate into kitchens that operate designated knife sets by food type or allergen risk zone.

• Brown colour-coded handle for vegetable prep zone identification
• PP and TPR handle construction for a reliable wet-grip
• Short blade suited to intricate peeling and trimming work
• Lightweight design that reduces fatigue during repetitive prep tasks
• Compatible with standard HACCP colour-coded knife programmes

This knife is well suited to any professional kitchen running a colour-coded system — restaurants, catering operations, schools, hospitals, and contract catering sites. For kitchens requiring a full matched set across all food groups, the Hygiplas Pro range covers additional colour options to complete a compliant programme.

If you are setting up a colour-coded knife system from scratch or want to confirm the right combination of blades for your prep workflow, the team is happy to help.

The Hygiplas Pro chef knife in brown is a general-purpose cook's knife designed specifically for vegetable preparation in professional kitchens. The brown handle colour designation follows the widely adopted HACCP colour-coding system, helping kitchen teams keep prep surfaces and utensils segregated by food type and reducing the risk of cross-contamination during busy service.

In practical use, the blade holds a good working edge through high-volume prep sessions and is straightforward to resharpen with standard kitchen sharpening equipment. The lightweight build reduces hand fatigue during extended mise en place, which is a genuine consideration in kitchens where chefs are working through large volumes of vegetables across a shift. The balance point suits both pinch-grip and handle-grip styles, making it accessible across a brigade of mixed experience levels.

Key practical strengths for kitchen operations include:

• Brown HACCP colour coding supports food safety segregation at the prep stage
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended prep work
• Edge retention suitable for daily high-volume vegetable work
• Easy to clean and compatible with standard commercial dishwashing
• Accessible price point makes it practical for equipping multiple stations

This knife is well suited to catering operations, contract kitchens, and hospitality venues where HACCP compliance is a kitchen management requirement rather than an optional consideration. It is a practical, no-frills workhorse rather than a premium hand-finished blade — operators looking for a heavier, more specialist knife for butchery or bread work should consider dedicated alternatives from the wider range.

If you're equipping a prep kitchen from scratch or reviewing your colour-coding setup, the team is happy to talk through what works across different service environments.

The Hygiplas Pro chef knife in green is a practical, straightforward blade designed for everyday prep work in commercial kitchens. The 21.5cm blade length sits in a useful middle ground — long enough to handle bulk prep efficiently, but manageable for close detail work on fruit, herbs, and salad ingredients. The green colour coding follows the widely adopted HACCP convention for fruit and vegetable preparation, helping kitchens maintain clear separation between food groups and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

In a working kitchen environment, the handle material and grip profile matter as much as the blade itself. The PP and TPR construction gives a secure hold when hands are wet or greasy, which matters during sustained prep sessions. The blade holds a workable edge through regular use and responds well to routine sharpening, making it a practical day-to-day tool rather than one that needs constant attention.

From an operational standpoint, the knife suits kitchens that take HACCP colour-coding seriously — particularly those running separate prep areas or stations where cross-contamination risk needs to be actively managed. Useful operational characteristics include:

• Green handle aligned to HACCP fruit and vegetable colour-coding conventions
• Non-slip grip suitable for wet prep environments
• Blade length practical for bulk salad and fruit preparation
• Straightforward to resharpen and maintain as part of daily knife care

This knife is well suited to salad stations, vegetable prep sections, and any kitchen running a colour-coded system. It is a reliable workhorse option rather than a premium professional blade, which is reflected in the price point. Kitchens requiring a heavier-duty knife for more demanding cutting tasks may find a higher-specification model more appropriate.

If you're equipping a full prep section or selecting knives across multiple colour groups, our team is happy to help you work through the full range.

The Hygiplas Pro fillet knife in blue is a professional-grade prep knife designed for fish filleting, skinning, and trimming in commercial kitchen environments. The 15cm flexible stainless steel blade is built to follow the natural contours of fish, allowing the knife to move cleanly between flesh and bone with minimal resistance.

In practice, the flexibility of the blade is what separates a proper fillet knife from a general-purpose prep knife. It lets the blade stay close to the bone throughout the cut, which reduces waste and keeps portions consistent — something that matters when you're working through volume service or breaking down whole fish to order. The edge holds well under regular use and responds to sharpening without difficulty, which keeps prep efficient over the course of a shift.

From an operational standpoint, a few things are worth noting:

• The blue handle supports HACCP colour-coding protocols for raw fish areas
• The grip remains secure when wet, which is important in fish prep where hands and work surfaces are rarely dry
• At 93g the knife is light enough to reduce hand fatigue during extended prep sessions
• Easy to clean and suitable for dishwasher use in commercial settings

This knife is well suited to seafood restaurants, fishmongers, hotel kitchens, and any operation where fish preparation is a regular part of the workflow. It is not designed for heavy butchery or general chopping — for that, a different blade profile would be more appropriate. If your operation works through very high volumes of whole fish daily, it is worth considering whether a second knife kept in rotation would support consistency during longer prep periods.

If you have questions about knife selection for your kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your prep requirements.
