Buffalo 600 Series 4 Zone Induction Hob 2 x 3kW

£726.00(£871.20 inc VAT)

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.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right match for your kitchen's service volume or existing setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Buffalo Bain Marie with Tap and Gastronorm Pans

£151.00(£181.20 inc VAT)

The Buffalo bain marie is a wet heat food-holding unit designed to maintain pre-cooked foods at safe serving temperatures throughout service. It operates by heating a water bath that surrounds the gastronorm pans, providing gentle, even heat that keeps food ready to serve without overcooking or drying out. The unit comes supplied with two GN 1/3 and two GN 1/6 pans and lids, giving operators a ready-to-use setup from day one.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of bain marie is a reliable choice for holding sauces, gravies, soups, stews, or any portioned food that needs to be kept hot and accessible during a service period. The wet heat method is well regarded for maintaining food texture and moisture compared to dry heat alternatives, making it particularly suited to buffet counters, carvery stations, and canteen-style operations where food may sit for extended periods.

Key practical advantages include:

Front-mounted drain tap for straightforward emptying and cleaning at end of service
Stainless steel construction that wipes down quickly and withstands daily kitchen use
Adjustable temperature range allowing operators to match heat level to the food type being held
Pans and lids included, removing the need for a separate purchase before first use
Compact footprint suitable for counter-top positioning on a buffet line or servery

Installation is straightforward — the unit requires a standard 13A mains socket and no specialist fitting. It is worth considering counter space and the weight of the unit when filled, particularly on mobile or lightweight buffet furniture. The 1.2kW element is well matched to a unit of this size and keeps running costs modest, though it is worth noting this is a holding unit rather than a heating unit — food should be brought up to temperature before being placed in the bain marie.

This model is well suited to smaller operations: cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, care homes, and buffet or carvery setups with moderate volume requirements. For higher-volume sites running extended service periods or requiring greater pan capacity, a larger or heavier-duty unit from the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or counter setup, the team is happy to talk through the options with you.

Buffalo Programmable Commercial Microwave 25Ltr 1000W

£202.00(£242.40 inc VAT)

The Buffalo 25-litre programmable microwave is a stainless steel countertop unit built for reheating, cooking, and defrosting in commercial kitchen environments. Running at 1000W with five adjustable power levels, it gives kitchen teams consistent, repeatable results without depending on operator judgement at every use.

In a working kitchen, consistency during service matters as much as raw speed. The programmable memory function allows teams to store set cycles for regularly reheated dishes, which reduces errors when the pass is busy and staff are moving quickly. The three-stage cooking option means sequences such as defrost-then-reheat can run as a single unattended cycle, removing the need for manual intervention between steps. The 25-litre cavity is practical for whole plated dishes or smaller gastronorm containers used in a typical service.

Day-to-day operational advantages include:

Programmable cycles remove reliance on staff memory during busy service periods
Three-stage cooking handles multi-step tasks in one unattended run
Removable splatter shield speeds up interior cleaning between services
Stainless steel construction wipes down quickly and holds up to regular daily use
Runs from a standard 13A socket — no dedicated electrical supply required

Installation requires nothing beyond a standard 13A socket, so there is no need for dedicated electrical work or a specialist installer. The unit sits on a countertop and its footprint suits most pass areas or back-of-house preparation spaces. At 14.7kg it can be moved and repositioned without difficulty if the kitchen layout changes.

This microwave is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, staff canteens, and hospitality operations that need a reliable programmable reheating unit without the scale of a full heavy-duty commercial model. It is not designed for continuous high-volume reheating — kitchens running very high covers or requiring a demanding duty cycle should consider a higher-rated unit with a more robust specification.

If you would like to talk through whether this model is the right match for your kitchen's service volumes, our team is glad to help before you make a decision.
