Fagor 900 Series 4-Zone Countertop Induction Hob C-I945

The Fagor C-I945 is a four-zone countertop induction hob from the 900 Series range, designed for professional kitchen environments where precise heat control and consistent output are required throughout service. Running on three-phase power at 20kW total, it delivers 5kW per zone — enough to bring large pans to temperature quickly and maintain rolling heat under continuous use.

Induction cooking transfers heat directly to compatible cookware rather than heating a surface or producing a flame, which makes response times significantly faster than conventional electric hobs and more controllable than gas at lower heat settings. In a busy service environment, this translates to more consistent results and less time waiting for temperatures to recover between batches. The front-mounted dial controls are straightforward to operate, which matters when chefs are working quickly and do not have time to navigate complex interfaces.

From an operational standpoint, the C-I945 offers several practical advantages:

• No open flame or hot element — the surface itself does not get hot, reducing burn risk and improving kitchen safety
• Ceramic glass top is easy to wipe down between services, with no burner grates or drip trays to clean
• More energy-efficient than gas or radiant electric, as heat is generated directly in the pan
• 800mm wide working surface accommodates larger pans and stockpots comfortably
• Stainless steel body suits commercial hygiene standards and withstands heavy daily use

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, which is standard in most commercial kitchen fit-outs but should be confirmed before ordering. At 85kg, the unit is substantial — countertop positioning and adequate structural support should be considered during planning. As a countertop model, it offers flexibility for operators who need induction cooking capacity without committing to a full suite installation, though it does integrate well with other Fagor 900 Series stands and equipment where a cohesive line is preferred.

The C-I945 is well suited to restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and contract catering environments running multiple covers. It is particularly appropriate where gas is not available or not preferred, or where surface hygiene and speed of cleaning are priorities. For very high-volume operations requiring more zones or higher overall output, a larger induction range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether induction suits your current cookware, your electrical supply, or the capacity you need, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
