Caterlite Touch Control Double Induction Hob

The Caterlite double induction hob is a countertop cooking unit with two induction zones, touch-panel controls, and a stainless steel body with ceramic glass cooking surface. It operates from a standard 13A plug, making it straightforward to position within an existing kitchen layout or to move between locations as operational needs change.

Induction technology transfers heat directly to compatible cookware rather than heating the surrounding air, which means response is immediate and temperature adjustments take effect quickly. In a busy service environment, that responsiveness helps operators maintain consistent cooking temperatures and reduces the idle time between dishes. With ten heat settings and a timer running up to 180 minutes, the hob gives sufficient control for most short-order and prep tasks.

From a practical standpoint, the ceramic glass surface is straightforward to wipe down between services, and because the surface itself does not get hot outside the pan contact area, the risk of food burning onto the hob is lower than with conventional radiant or gas equipment. Key operational advantages include:

• Immediate heat response — no warm-up period before service begins
• Reduced ambient heat output compared to gas or ceramic radiant hobs
• No gas supply or additional electrical installation required beyond a 13A socket
• Simple touch controls accessible to all kitchen staff
• Portable format suits mobile catering, pop-ups, and overflow stations

Because this unit runs from a single 13A socket, it requires no dedicated electrical circuit or installation work, which keeps setup straightforward. It is worth confirming that your cookware is induction-compatible before use — cast iron, carbon steel, and most stainless steel pans will work, but aluminium, copper, and glass will not. As a double-zone countertop unit, it is best suited to lower-volume operations or as supplementary capacity; sites running continuous high-volume service across multiple pans may find a more powerful freestanding unit better matched to their throughput.

This hob is well suited to small cafés, mobile caterers, pop-up kitchens, demonstration cooking, and hospitality operations needing flexible additional capacity. For higher-volume sites or those running extended service periods, a heavier-duty induction range with a higher combined power output may be a more appropriate choice.
