Joseph Joseph Folio Large Chopping Board Set Editions Blue
The Joseph Joseph Folio Large addresses a common kitchen frustration: finding space for multiple chopping boards whilst maintaining food hygiene standards. This set contains four colour-coded boards (24 x 34cm each) housed in a slim storage case that occupies minimal worktop or cupboard space. The tiered design with stainless-steel selection bars allows you to remove the board you need without disturbing the others.
Each double-sided board features a knife-friendly textured surface designed to protect blade edges, whilst integrated non-slip feet prevent movement during use. The colour-coding system helps reduce cross-contamination risk by designating different boards for raw meat, vegetables, cooked foods, and fish or dairy.
Key features:
- Space-efficient storage: Slim case (7.5cm depth) holds four large boards in the space traditionally occupied by one
- Easy board selection: Stainless-steel bars and tiered arrangement mean you can access any board without removing others
- Food safety design: Colour-coded boards help establish a system for preventing cross-contamination
- Knife-friendly surfaces: Textured cutting surfaces on both sides protect knife edges better than glass or hard plastic alternatives
- Stability during use: Non-slip feet on each board prevent movement when chopping or slicing
- Air circulation: Stand design keeps boards separated for faster drying and improved hygiene
This set suits home cooks who prepare varied ingredients and want to maintain proper food hygiene without cluttering their kitchen with multiple loose boards.
What Customers Ask About Joseph Joseph Folio Large
Colour coding helps prevent cross-contamination by designating specific boards for different food types. Whilst there's no universal standard, many users assign colours like this: red for raw meat, green for vegetables and salad, blue for raw fish, and white or yellow for cooked foods and dairy. You can establish whichever system works for your household and cooking habits.
Each board measures 24 x 34cm, which fits in most standard dishwashers when placed diagonally on the bottom rack. However, measure your dishwasher's interior dimensions before purchasing if this is a priority. The boards are dishwasher safe; the case requires wiping clean only.
The textured surface provides slight grip to prevent food slipping whilst you cut, and it's designed to be gentler on knife edges than glass or very hard plastic boards. Joseph Joseph notes that these surfaces are designed to mark slightly during use – this is normal and indicates the boards are protecting your knives rather than dulling them.
Yes. The case measures 26cm high x 35.7cm wide x 7.5cm deep and can be stored either standing upright or lying flat in a cupboard. The tiered design with stainless-steel bars functions in either orientation, though upright storage typically saves more space.
At 24 x 34cm, these boards provide a generous work surface for most home cooking tasks. The non-slip feet keep them stable during chopping. For extremely heavy tasks like breaking down large cuts of meat or intensive cleaver work, you might prefer a thicker wooden butcher's block, but these boards handle typical home food preparation effectively.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Boards - Dishwasher cleaning: Place boards on the bottom rack of your dishwasher, positioned diagonally if needed to fit. Use a standard cycle. The knife-friendly surface is designed to mark slightly during use – this is normal and shows the boards are protecting your blade edges.
Boards - Handwashing: Wash with warm soapy water immediately after use, particularly after preparing raw meat or fish. Pay attention to the textured surface to remove any trapped food particles. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before returning to the case.
Storage case: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or place in the dishwasher. Dry the stainless-steel bars to prevent water spots.
Maintaining hygiene: Establish a consistent colour-coding system and stick to it. Allow boards to dry completely in the case between uses – the stand design promotes air circulation. If boards develop deep scoring or odours that don't wash away, consider replacing them to maintain food safety standards.
Storage: The case can be stored upright or flat. Ensure boards are completely dry before storing to prevent moisture accumulation and potential bacterial growth.

The Editions Blue colourway features four boards in a coordinated blue-themed palette. The specific shades may include variations of blue, white, and complementary colours. If you need precise colour information for matching existing kitchenware, contact us before purchasing or check the product images.
The non-slip feet are designed to grip your worktop without causing damage to standard surfaces like laminate, granite, or wood. If you have a particularly delicate or newly refinished worktop, place a cloth underneath as a precaution when first using the boards.
For persistent odours (particularly after cutting onions or garlic), wash the board thoroughly then wipe with a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water. Leave for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Alternatively, rub the board with half a lemon and rinse. If odours persist after multiple cleanings, the board may have deep scoring and might benefit from replacement.
