Buffalo 600 Series 4 Zone Induction Hob 2 x 3kW

The Buffalo 600 Series four-zone induction hob is a countertop unit built for professional kitchens that want the precision and efficiency of induction cooking without the complexity of a full range installation. It operates across four independent cooking zones, each with eleven power levels, giving the chef close control over heat at every stage of service — from a rapid boil through to a steady simmer. A boost function is available across all zones when additional output is needed quickly.

In a busy kitchen environment, induction has a practical advantage over gas and traditional electric: heat is generated directly in the pan rather than the surrounding surface. This keeps the cook line cooler, takes some load off the ventilation system, and reduces the ambient heat that builds up during long service periods. Recovery between cooking loads is quick, which matters during peak covers when zones are in continuous use.

From an operational standpoint, the 600 Series hob offers a number of day-to-day advantages:

• Ceramic glass surface is straightforward to wipe down — no grates, burners, or trapped grease
• No open flame reduces extraction requirements compared with equivalent gas output
• Eleven power levels per zone support precise cooking across a wide range of menu items
• Lower residual surface heat improves safety on a busy cook line
• Designed to integrate with other 600 Series units for a consistent cook line layout

The unit requires a hardwired electrical connection and should be installed by a qualified electrician before use. It is 600mm wide, which means it sits neatly on 600 Series cupboard bases from the same range or can be used as a standalone countertop appliance — useful where kitchen layout or space is a constraint. Induction cooking requires compatible ferromagnetic cookware; any existing aluminium or copper pans will not work with this hob, which is worth confirming before purchase.

This hob is well suited to small to medium operations — cafés, bistros, pub kitchens, and contract catering environments where a reliable, easy-to-clean induction station is needed without committing to a full induction range. For higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple zones simultaneously, a heavier-duty unit with greater combined output may be a more appropriate fit.
