How to choose

Check the pack size first. Tableware, glassware and cutlery are often sold in packs of 6, 12 or more, so work out the price per piece when you compare. For storage, match the gastronorm size, such as 1/1 or 2/3, and the depth to your fridges, bain maries and shelving.

For knives and chopping boards, Hygiplas colour coded options such as blue and white are available, which helps if you separate prep areas by colour. Always check the dimensions and material on the product page.
