Joseph Joseph Folio Icon: The Original Icon-Based Chopping Board Set
The Folio Icon is Joseph Joseph's bestselling chopping board system for good reason - it makes preventing cross-contamination genuinely intuitive. Each of the four boards features a clear illustrated icon showing exactly what it's designed for: raw meat, raw fish, vegetables, or cooked food. Combined with colour coding, this visual system removes any guesswork from food-safe preparation.
Every board in the set is designed for practical, everyday use:
- Illustrated food-type icons on each board (raw meat, raw fish, vegetables, cooked food) make designation instantly clear
- Colour-coded design provides additional visual identification for quick selection
- Knife-friendly textured surfaces that protect your knife edges whilst providing stable cutting
- Non-slip feet keep boards secure during slicing, chopping, and dicing
- Compact 20 x 30cm boards suit smaller kitchens and worktop spaces
The slimline storage case keeps the four boards organised and allows air circulation between them after washing, promoting quick, hygienic drying. At just 7.5cm deep, the complete set fits neatly in cupboards or on worktops without dominating your space.
Suitable for health-conscious home cooks, families prioritising food safety, anyone with limited kitchen space, and as an intuitive gift for students or first-time homeowners.
What Customers Ask About Joseph Joseph Folio Icon
Each board features an illustrated icon indicating its designated food type: raw meat, raw fish, vegetables, or cooked food. This visual system, combined with colour coding, makes it immediately clear which board to use and helps prevent cross-contamination during food preparation.
This Folio Icon set features smaller boards (20 x 30cm vs 24 x 34cm) with clear illustrated icons showing food types, making it ideal for kitchens with limited worktop space. The Folio Steel uses a stainless-steel case and larger boards. Both use the same hygienic separation system for drying.
The textured surfaces are designed to mark slightly during use - this is intentional and indicates the material is protecting your knife edges rather than dulling them. Hard surfaces like glass or ceramic blunt knives; softer materials preserve sharpness whilst providing a stable cutting surface.
The complete set measures H22 x W31.8 x D7.5cm (H8½ x W12½ x D3 inches). The 7.5cm depth makes it particularly suitable for cupboard storage or worktop display. Measure your available space to confirm fit.
Only the four chopping boards are dishwasher safe. The storage case should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth only - avoid abrasive cloths or strong chemical cleaners.
The case holds the four boards separately after washing, allowing air to circulate freely between them. This promotes quick, hygienic drying and prevents moisture build-up that could harbour bacteria.
Each board measures 20 x 30cm (8 x 12 inches), which is suitable for everyday meal preparation tasks. For larger items like whole chickens or extensive batch cooking, you may prefer the larger Folio Steel version with 24 x 34cm boards.

Care & Use Instructions
Chopping Boards: Dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. The knife-friendly textured surface is designed to mark slightly during use - this is normal and indicates the material is working as intended to protect your knife edges.
Storage Case: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cloths or strong chemical cleaners.
Daily Use: Use the illustrated icons to select the correct board for each food type. The visual system makes it easy to maintain food-safe practices - raw meat on the meat icon board, vegetables on the vegetable icon board, and so on.
After Use: Wash boards in the dishwasher and place back in the case whilst still slightly damp. The case design allows for air circulation and complete drying whilst keeping your worktop or cupboard organised.
