Yelkar Plastik Professional Cutting Boards

Yelkar Plastik is a Turkey-based manufacturer that has produced polyethylene cutting boards, kitchen equipment, work counters, floor gratings, and technical plastic products since 2001. The brand ships its products to more than 50 countries.

The Yelkar selection on Mutfak10 consists of polyethylene cutting boards in different colors, sizes, and thicknesses, along with stretch-film cutting accessories. The active product group focuses on cutting and packaging stations rather than dishwashing baskets.

Separating Product Groups by Color

Yelkar cutting boards come in different colors such as white, red, green, and yellow. Color coding can help ensure raw meat, vegetables, poultry, or ready-to-eat products are prepared on separate surfaces.

Which food group each color represents should be defined in the business's written hygiene plan. Although common industry color pairings exist, it should not be assumed that the same system is automatically used in every business.

Staff training and clear storage of the boards are necessary for the color system to be applied properly. Dirty and clean boards of the same color must not be mixed up.

Choosing Size and Thickness

Mutfak10 products range from compact sizes such as 40×25 cm to wide working surfaces like 60×40 cm. Thicknesses can vary among roughly 1, 2, and 4 cm options.

A thin board is lighter and easier to carry but may shift when working with large, heavy products. A thick board provides more weight and rigidity. Whether the counter can bear the load and whether the board will be lifted for washing should be evaluated.

The board's size must accommodate the entire product to be cut and the knife's range of motion. Preparing a large cut of meat on a small board can cause the product to overhang onto the counter.

Knife Marks, Resurfacing and Replacement

Polyethylene surfaces develop knife marks with use. Deep scratches can trap food residue and moisture. Daily washing does not remove the need to regularly inspect surface condition.

Thick boards can be resurfaced with suitable equipment. How much material can be removed depends on the board's remaining thickness and the manufacturer's recommendation.

Boards with cracks, deep gouges, deformation, or persistent odor should be taken out of service. If resurfacing is not possible, a new board should be used.

Featured Highlights

• Yelkar Plastik has produced polyethylene cutting and technical kitchen products since 2001.

Cutting Board Cleaning and Storage

Boards must be cleaned with suitable temperature, detergent, and disinfection method at every product change. Whether polyethylene is dishwasher-safe should be checked against the board's size and the manufacturer's temperature limit.

After washing, boards must be dried vertically with airflow, without stacking against each other. Leaving wet boards stacked extends drying time.

To prevent slipping, the board should be used on a flat counter, and a food-safe non-slip mat should be used where needed. A wet cloth should not be used as a temporary base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Yelkar cutting board colors mean?

Colors help ensure different food groups are prepared on separate surfaces. Which color is assigned to which product must be clearly defined in the business's hygiene plan and taught to staff.

Should I choose a 2 cm or 4 cm Yelkar cutting board?

A two-centimeter board is easier to carry for medium-scale prep. A four-centimeter product can be considered for heavy cutting, fixed counter placement, and areas needing resurfacing.

Can a scratched Yelkar polyethylene board still be used?

Light marks can be used with regular inspection; if deep gouges create areas that can't be cleaned, the surface should be resurfaced or the board replaced. Cracked or deformed product should not be used.
