Delivery Information
Price Match
The Buffalo Induction Wok is a countertop induction cooking unit designed specifically for wok-style cooking in commercial kitchens. Rather than using gas burners or open flame, it transfers heat directly into the base of an induction-compatible wok through a toughened ceramic glass curved surface, delivering the high temperatures needed for stir-frying, searing, and rapid-heat techniques without combustion.
In a busy kitchen environment, induction cooking offers a meaningful practical advantage over gas wok burners in terms of heat control and responsiveness. Because the heat is generated within the pan itself rather than around it, temperature changes happen quickly and consistently. This suits high-turnover kitchens where dishes need to be prepared in rapid succession and where consistent results across a service period matter.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit include:
- Flameless operation reduces ventilation demands compared to gas wok burners
- Induction efficiency means less wasted heat into the kitchen environment
- Smooth ceramic glass surface is straightforward to wipe down between services
- Built-in timer supports straightforward session management
- Stainless steel housing withstands the wear of daily commercial use
Installation is relatively straightforward compared to gas alternatives — there is no requirement for gas supply, gas safety certification, or specialist burner ventilation canopy, though general kitchen ventilation should always be assessed for your setup. The unit requires a suitable electrical supply, and it is worth confirming your existing circuit can support the load before installation. It is also essential to use induction-compatible cookware; standard woks without a magnetic base will not work with this unit.
This wok hob is well suited to smaller operations running Asian or fusion menus — street food concepts, small restaurant kitchens, dark kitchens, and similar settings where a single high-heat wok station is sufficient. For sites running a continuous high-volume wok operation across multiple covers, a heavier-duty or multi-zone solution may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether induction wok cooking is the right fit for your kitchen setup or service style, we are happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Does this unit require any special installation or electrical work?
The induction wok hob runs on a standard electrical supply, but you should confirm your existing circuit can handle the load before installation. Unlike gas wok burners, there is no requirement for a gas supply or gas safety certification, which makes placement more flexible. General kitchen ventilation guidance should still be followed, and your installer can advise on whether your current extraction is adequate.
Can I use any wok with this induction hob?
No — induction cooking requires cookware with a magnetic base. Standard carbon steel or cast iron woks will typically work, but aluminium or copper woks without a magnetic layer will not function on an induction surface. If you are unsure about your existing cookware, a simple magnet test on the base will confirm compatibility.
Is this unit suitable for a high-volume wok operation running across a full dinner service?
This unit is well suited to smaller operations or kitchens where a single wok station handles a moderate volume of covers. For sites where a wok station is running near-continuously throughout a long or high-volume service, it may be worth speaking with us about whether a higher-output or more heavy-duty solution would serve you better.
