Lincat Opus OE8015 Electric Solid Top Range

The Lincat Opus OE8015 is a freestanding electric range designed for professional kitchen use. It combines a full-width cast iron solid top with a fan-assisted electric oven below, giving operators a single unit capable of handling both direct cooking and oven work across a continuous service period. As part of Lincat's Opus 800 series, it is built to the dimensions and output levels that suit a high-throughput kitchen pass.

The solid top is divided into two zones, each controlled independently via simmerstat settings with six positions. The cast iron plate develops a heat gradient from the centre outward, which experienced cooks use deliberately — higher heat at the centre for rapid searing and reducing, lower heat toward the outer edges for holding and gentle cooking. This makes the surface genuinely versatile rather than simply a large flat hotplate. An outer spillage channel around the perimeter helps contain liquids and keeps the cooking area manageable during a busy service.

The oven uses twin fan-assisted heating to circulate air evenly throughout the cavity, which supports consistent results across multiple shelves. The side-hinged doors open to 180 degrees, improving access when loading and unloading during service. The interior liners — base, sides, and top — are all removable, which makes end-of-day cleaning considerably more straightforward than fixed-interior designs.

• Independent zone control across the solid top for flexible heat management
• Removable oven liners reduce cleaning time and effort significantly
• Full-width machined cooking surface maximises usable hotplate area
• Fan-assisted oven supports even results across multiple shelf positions
• Mounted on heavy-duty castors for repositioning and cleaning access

Installation requires a suitable three-phase or single-phase electrical supply depending on the site configuration — this is worth confirming with your electrician before ordering. The unit sits within the standard 800mm depth suite format, so it integrates cleanly with other Opus 800 series equipment. Adequate ventilation above the range is required, typically via a canopy extraction system. Weight and footprint should be considered when planning kitchen layout, particularly if the floor surface needs protecting during installation.

The OE8015 suits restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where a reliable, general-purpose cooking suite is needed. It is well suited to kitchens serving consistent covers across lunch and evening services. For higher-volume operations running extended service periods or requiring greater oven capacity, a heavier-duty or larger-format alternative may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations with limited space or lower throughput demands, a compact range model may offer better value.
