Joseph Joseph Folio Large Chopping Board Set Editions Green
Every great meal starts with a chopping board, so we designed Folio™ to make the food-prep process more efficient and enjoyable. Our chopping board set includes four colour-coded boards with knife-friendly, textured surfaces and non-slip grip feet for safer slicing, chopping and dicing.
The set features a slimline case for organised storage, with a tiered design and stainless-steel bars on boards for easy selection. The double-sided boards feature knife-friendly, textured cutting surfaces on both sides and non-slip feet that keep boards stable during use. The stand holds boards apart from each other so air can circulate, promoting faster drying and better hygiene.
Available only in Large size, this Green edition brings a sophisticated, contemporary colour palette to your kitchen. The four colour-coded boards help prevent cross-contamination by allowing you to designate different boards for different food types - typically raw meat, vegetables, fish, and cooked foods or bread.

What Customers Ask About Joseph Joseph Folio Chopping Board Set
What does colour-coding mean and why is it important?
Colour-coding helps prevent cross-contamination by using different boards for different food types. A common system is: one board for raw meat, one for vegetables, one for fish/seafood, and one for cooked foods or bread. This prevents bacteria from raw foods transferring to ready-to-eat items. The Folio set's four distinct colours make it easy to maintain this system. You can establish your own colour-coding system based on your cooking habits.
Are the boards really knife-friendly?
Yes, the textured surface is designed to be gentle on knife blades compared to glass or very hard plastic boards. The material will show slight marking during use - this is normal and indicates the surface is working as intended to protect your knives. However, no board is completely immune to knife marks. The textured surface also helps prevent food from slipping whilst cutting. Regular knife sharpening is still recommended as part of normal kitchen maintenance.
Can I use both sides of each board?
Yes, both sides are fully functional cutting surfaces with the same textured finish. This doubles the usable surface area and extends the board's lifespan. Some users prefer to designate one side for certain tasks, whilst others flip the boards to use a fresh surface. The non-slip feet work on whichever side you place down. Using both sides also helps boards wear evenly.
How does the tiered design work for selection?
The storage case holds boards at slightly different heights with stainless-steel bars visible at the top of each board. This tiered arrangement means you can see which colour board you need and pull it out easily without removing others first. The bars provide a good grip point. This design is significantly more convenient than stacked boards where you must remove several to access the one you want.
Will four boards fit in my dishwasher?
The boards are dishwasher safe, but whether all four fit at once depends on your dishwasher size and configuration. Many users find they can fit 2-3 boards per wash in standard dishwashers. The 24x34cm size means boards stand upright in most dishwashers. You may need to run the dishwasher twice for a complete clean of all four boards, or hand wash some. The case should be wiped clean rather than dishwashed.
Does the case need much storage space?
The case is designed to be slimline - just 7.5cm deep, 35.7cm wide, and 26cm high. This fits easily in most cupboards or can sit on the worktop without dominating space. The vertical storage is much more space-efficient than stacking four large boards horizontally. Many customers find the organised storage actually saves space compared to their previous board storage methods.
What makes this better than buying four individual boards?
The integrated storage case keeps boards organised and takes up less space than loose boards. The tiered design with steel bars makes selection effortless. The case allows air circulation for better hygiene. You get a coordinated set in a cohesive colour scheme. The set is more cost-effective than buying four quality boards separately. Plus, the case protects boards from damage when stored.
Are the non-slip feet effective on all worktops?
The non-slip feet work well on most kitchen worktops including granite, quartz, laminate, and wood. They provide good stability during cutting on smooth surfaces. On very textured or uneven worktops, effectiveness may vary slightly. For additional stability on any surface, place a damp cloth under the board. The feet are more effective than boards without any grip features.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all packaging. Wash all four boards in warm soapy water or run through the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly. Wipe the storage case with a damp cloth and dry.
Establishing your colour-coding system: Decide which board colour you'll use for which food type. A typical system: one for raw meat, one for vegetables, one for fish/seafood, one for cooked foods or bread. You might use labels or a reference chart initially until the system becomes habit. The key is consistency - always use the same colour for the same food type.
Using the boards: Select your desired board using the stainless-steel bar at the top. Place the board on your worktop with the non-slip feet down. The textured surface provides good grip for food whilst cutting. Both sides are usable - flip the board when one side becomes marked or wet. The boards are designed to mark slightly during use; this is normal and indicates the knife-friendly surface is working as intended.
After each use: Wash boards promptly after use, especially after cutting raw meat or fish. The boards are dishwasher safe - stand them upright in the dishwasher for best cleaning. For hand washing, use hot soapy water and a brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning to the case. Never leave boards soaking for extended periods.
Drying and storage: After washing, dry boards with a cloth or allow to air dry standing upright. Once completely dry, return boards to the storage case. The case design holds boards apart allowing air to circulate, promoting hygiene and preventing moisture buildup. Store the case in a cupboard or on your worktop.
Maintaining the case: Wipe the storage case clean with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the case in water or place in the dishwasher. Check that the case interior is dry before replacing boards. Clean the stainless-steel bars occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain their appearance.
Preventing warping: Always dry boards thoroughly before storing. Don't stack wet boards. Avoid leaving boards in direct sunlight or near heat sources which could cause warping. Store boards in the case rather than leaning against walls. Properly cared for boards should maintain their shape for years.
When to replace boards: Replace individual boards when they become deeply grooved, cracked, or excessively warped. Surface marking and light knife scratches are normal. If a board develops an odour that cleaning doesn't remove, it's time for replacement. The modular design means you can replace individual boards rather than the entire set if needed.
Avoid: Do not use boards for cutting on unstable surfaces. Don't use boards as trivets for hot pans - they're not designed for high heat. Avoid cutting frozen foods which can damage both board and knife. Don't use harsh abrasive cleaners or scourers which might damage the surface texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used the boards for food preparation. We've offered this guarantee since 1972 because we believe customers shouldn't take a risk when investing in quality products.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage the set, we'll replace it at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This covers accidental breakage but not normal wear and tear from regular use. Contact us with your proof of purchase and we'll arrange the replacement.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses takes up to 7 working days (usually 3-4) and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Can I buy replacement boards individually?
Contact Joseph Joseph customer service or check with us regarding availability of replacement boards. The modular design means individual boards can potentially be replaced without buying an entire new set. This extends the life of your investment. If one board becomes heavily worn, you may be able to replace just that board.
Is the Green colour different from the standard Folio set?
Yes, the Green edition features a distinct colour palette compared to the standard Folio set. It offers a more contemporary, sophisticated aesthetic. The functionality, size, and quality are identical - only the colours differ. Choose based on your kitchen décor and colour preferences. Both versions offer the same award-winning design and features.
Do professional chefs use colour-coded boards?
Yes, colour-coding is standard practice in professional kitchens and required by food safety regulations in many commercial settings. The principle is the same whether you're a professional chef or home cook - preventing cross-contamination protects against foodborne illness. The Folio set brings professional kitchen practices into your home in a stylish, organised package.
Will this work with your price match guarantee?
Yes. If you've seen this identical Joseph Joseph Folio Large Chopping Board Set Editions Green cheaper elsewhere, tell us where. If it's available with our competitor on the day you contact us, we'll match the price. The item must be identical (same size and edition) and the competitor must be a UK retailer with physical stores.
How does this compare to bamboo or wooden boards?
This plastic board set offers advantages including dishwasher safety, colour-coding for cross-contamination prevention, consistent quality across all four boards, and the integrated storage case. Wooden boards require more maintenance (oiling) and aren't dishwasher safe. However, some cooks prefer wood's aesthetic and natural antimicrobial properties. The choice depends on your priorities - convenience and hygiene versus natural materials.
