High-quality cutting boards from Banholzer for every purpose

The main purpose of a chopping board is to avoid scratching the worktop when cutting, slicing or chopping. At the same time, the kitchen boards provide a hygienic surface that is easy to clean and can be used again quickly. Not every kitchen board is equally suitable for all types of work. There are some differences and special features between the chopping boards that you should bear in mind when buying. In our store you will find various products, all of which have been developed for professional kitchens.

Cutting boards in different colors and their meaning

Cutting boards are available in different colors. This is not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to facilitate the hygienic work of chefs in professional catering. For example, when raw meat is cut on a chopping board, bacteria can settle on the material and adhere to the meat. These are killed during further processing of the meat. However, if vegetables are subsequently cut on the same cutting board, this can lead to food poisoning in the worst case scenario. It is therefore all the more important to use a separate chopping board for meat and different chopping board colors for other foods.

The following cutting board colors have established themselves in the catering industry:

Cutting board green: fruit & vegetables
Chopping board yellow: Poultry
Cutting board blue: fish
Cutting board red: Meat (raw)
Brown cutting board: Cooked/roasted meat
Cutting board white: Baked goods & dairy products
Black chopping board: Carving

These colors are the so-called international HACCP regulation, which is intended to ensure the safety of food.

Our tip: With our PROFBOARD cutting board, you can simply change the surface, which is available in different colors.

Chopping boards with various features for the professional kitchen

To make work in the kitchen more effective, we offer chopping boards with various features. When buying your kitchen equipment, pay attention to which features are important to you.

Large chopping board with knife insert
The chopping board with knife insert is perfect for all kitchen work. Knives lying around are a real source of danger in the kitchen. The knife can be safely stored on this chopping board and is still immediately to hand.
Cutting board with groove
A cutting board with a juice groove is also known as a carving board. Juices and other liquids can collect in this board to prevent them from accidentally flowing off the kitchen board and causing additional soiling.
Chopping board with drip tray
A chopping board with a drawer is also particularly practical. An additional container is built into the chopping board and the cutting surface is slightly raised. This allows you to dispose of kitchen waste from cutting, slicing or chopping directly into the container. Alternatively, you can also use it to collect pieces of meat or vegetables that have already been cut before they go into the pan or saucepan. If you don't want to use a board with a bowl, you can also use a chopping board with a hole that is placed on a drip tray.
Round cutting board
You can also find round chopping boards in our store, which are ideal for serving pizza or tarte flambée directly at the table, for example.

When buying chopping boards, the key question is whether to choose a board with or without knobs. Chopping boards with knobs have the great advantage of providing a non-slip surface. However, kitchen professionals often look for chopping boards without these knobs so that they can use them on both sides. Alternatively, you can place a chopping board without knobs on a damp kitchen towel to make it non-slip.

Wooden or plastic chopping boards: which is the best material?

In professional kitchens in particular, a chopping board must be hygienic so that guests can enjoy their food in a safe quality. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the material when selecting the kitchen board. You can choose between chopping boards made of plastic or wood.

Plastic chopping board: the right decision for reasons of hygiene

Hygiene requirements in the kitchen are particularly high in restaurants and hotels. This is why plastic chopping boards are almost exclusively used here, as they are manufactured in accordance with HACCP regulations. Plastic is a particularly food-friendly material. You can buy plastic chopping boards in different colors so that they can be used separately for processing different foods. Plastic chopping boards are particularly advantageous for processing meat and fish in the catering industry, as they are easy to clean. These kitchen boards are also comparatively inexpensive to buy, dishwasher-safe and gentle on delicate knife blades. One disadvantage: grooves form more quickly in a plastic chopping board, allowing dirt to settle.

Wooden chopping board: more suitable for private use

Wooden kitchen boards are more commonly used in the home. They have a high-quality design and are very robust, but are not as easy to clean as a plastic board. In addition, wooden boards cannot simply be put in the dishwasher. On the other hand, wood has an antibacterial effect, is more durable and environmentally friendly.
