Delivery Information
Price Match
This Hygiplas green colour-coded set brings together three everyday preparation utensils — a pair of tongs, a chopping board, and a cook's knife — each finished in green to designate fruit and salad use within a structured kitchen colour-coding system. The set is designed for kitchens that follow the widely used colour-coding convention to reduce cross-contamination risk and keep food safety procedures visible at a glance.
In a busy kitchen, colour coding only works when every team member can instantly identify the right tool for the right food group. Having the tongs, board, and knife in a matching green finish means the system holds up during service, even when multiple staff are working across prep areas. The ambidextrous tongs are comfortable for extended use, the board is built for daily commercial work, and the stainless steel cook's knife is straightforward to maintain and resharpen over time.
Practical day-to-day advantages of the set include:
- Immediately recognisable green colour reduces cross-contamination risk at the point of use
- Tongs are dishwasher safe, keeping cleaning quick and consistent
- A matching three-piece set simplifies stock control and staff training
- Stainless steel knife blade holds an edge well under regular prep use
- Complements other Hygiplas colour-coded items to complete a full kitchen system
No special installation is required. These are hand tools that sit within an existing colour-coding framework. The main consideration is ensuring the set is replaced or augmented if your kitchen handles high volumes across multiple prep stations — a single board and knife may not be sufficient if fruit and salad preparation is continuous throughout service.
This set suits any commercial kitchen operating a formal colour-coding policy, from smaller independent restaurants to school or care catering operations. If you are building out a full colour-coded system across all food groups, it is worth considering the complete Hygiplas range to ensure consistency.
If you are unsure which colour-coded items best fit your current kitchen setup, we are happy to help you think it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is one set sufficient for a busy prep kitchen?
For kitchens with continuous fruit and salad preparation throughout service, a single board and knife may become a bottleneck. It is worth having at least one spare set available, particularly in higher-volume operations where multiple staff work across prep simultaneously.
Does this set cover all the colour-coded food groups we need?
No — this set covers green only, which is designated for fruit and salad. You will need separate sets in the appropriate colours for raw meat, raw fish, cooked meat, dairy, and bakery if your kitchen operates a full colour-coding policy. Hygiplas produce utensils across the full standard colour range.
Are the tongs and knife suitable for daily commercial dishwasher cycles?
The tongs are confirmed dishwasher safe. The stainless steel knife can typically withstand commercial dishwasher cycles, though frequent machine washing can accelerate edge dulling on any knife — hand washing and prompt drying will extend the blade's working life.
