Knives and Cutting Boards

Professional Knives and Cutting Boards – Efficiency, Hygiene, and Safety in Every Kitchen Step

In a professional kitchen, high-quality cutting tools are not just accessories—they are the foundation of effective work. Correctly selected knives and cutting boards ensure excellent performance, adherence to hygiene standards, enhanced staff safety, and food safety compliance with HACCP guidelines.

Knife Types and Their Uses

• Chef’s knife: multipurpose, ideal for vegetables, meat, and herbs

• Filleting knife: thin and flexible for precise fish and meat segmentation

• Santoku & utility knives: suitable for quick vegetable prep and light meat cutting

• Bread & pastry knives: serrated blades for cutting crusty items without crushing

• Cleavers & heavy-duty meat knives: strong tools for bones and heavy portions

• Paring knives: small, precise tools for fruit and vegetable prep

Cutting Boards and HACCP Color Coding
Cutting boards play a key role in preventing food cross-contamination. HACCP color codes provide organization:

• Green – veg/fruit

• Blue – fish/seafood

• Yellow – poultry

• Red – red meat

• White – dairy/cheese

• Brown – bread/ready meals

All boards are made from food-safe materials designed to withstand daily use and moisture, and are easy to clean using sanitizing agents.

Sharpening, Care, and Storage

• Keep knives sharp to reduce effort and risk of injury

• Use honing steel daily and whetstone for regular precision sharpening

• Hand wash knives—dishwashers damage edges and handles; dry immediately

• Store knives in magnetic strips, professional cases, or wooden blocks to protect blades and extend life

• Clean and disinfect boards regularly; store vertically and dry to prevent bacterial growth

Chef Recommendation

“Knife quality directly affects food quality. A dull or unsuitable knife slows you down and damages ingredients. I recommend every chef invests in at least three basic knives and one quality board specific to their needs,” advises a professional head chef.
