Falcon Range Cookers

The Falcon Dominator Plus E3196 is a freestanding electric range combining a six-zone ceramic glass hob with a large fan-assisted oven. It is designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent, controllable heat across multiple cooking zones without the infrastructure demands of a gas supply. The ceramic surface offers a flat, easy-to-clean cooking platform, and the integrated residual heat indicators alert staff when zones remain dangerously warm after use — a practical safety consideration in a busy pass environment.

In service, the six 230mm square hob zones provide good coverage for a range of pan sizes, and the round elements beneath the glass are responsive enough to suit the pace of a working lunch or dinner service. The fan-assisted oven accepts 2/1 GN trays, which aligns it with standard gastronorm kit already in most professional kitchens. Fan circulation supports more even heat distribution across the oven cavity, which helps when running multiple trays simultaneously. The vitreous enamelled oven chamber and full-width removable drip tray make end-of-service cleaning straightforward — a detail that matters when the kitchen turns around quickly between covers.

Practical benefits worth noting for day-to-day operation:

• Ceramic surface is smooth and simple to wipe down between services
• Residual heat indicators reduce the risk of accidental contact burns
• Glass oven door panels allow monitoring without opening the door and losing heat
• Five shelf positions give flexibility for different tray depths and cooking configurations
• Fan-assisted oven improves temperature consistency across the cavity

Because this is an electric unit, installation will require an appropriate three-phase or single-phase electrical supply — the exact requirement should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before purchase, as older sites in particular may need a supply upgrade. At 115kg, it will also need adequate access and two or more people for positioning. It is a floor-standing unit, so sufficient clear floor space and appropriate ventilation or extraction above the hob are prerequisites.

The E3196 is a practical choice for small to medium restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable all-electric range with a generous oven capacity covers the majority of daily cooking demands. It is particularly well suited to sites where gas is not available or not preferred. For higher-volume operations running extended service periods with heavy simultaneous hob use, a heavier-duty or wider configuration may be worth considering.

If you are working out whether this model fits your kitchen layout, electrical supply, or service volumes, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to an order.

The Falcon Dominator Plus E3101 is an electric commercial range combining three full-depth cast iron solid-top hotplates with a fan-assisted oven in a single self-contained unit. It forms part of Falcon's long-established Dominator Plus series, which has maintained a consistent presence in professional UK kitchens for many years. Because it requires no gas supply, it is a practical choice for sites where gas is unavailable, restricted, or where an all-electric cooking station is operationally preferable.

Cast iron solid-top hotplates heat across their full surface rather than concentrating heat at discrete burner points. This allows pans to be moved between hotter and cooler zones of the plate during service — a working pattern that suits the simultaneous demands of sautéing, reducing, simmering, and holding that are common in a busy pass. Three hotplates provide a meaningful working area without requiring the floor footprint of a wider range. The fan-assisted oven circulates heat evenly across multiple shelf positions, supporting consistent results when cooking batches across several trays at once.

From an operational standpoint, the E3101 covers a broad range of kitchen tasks from one unit:

• Solid-top hotplates allow simultaneous cooking at different heat levels across the surface
• Fan-assisted oven delivers even heat distribution for consistent batch results
• Multiple shelf positions accommodate different tray depths and menu requirements
• All-electric operation suits sites without a gas supply or with limited gas capacity
• Oven cavity accepts 2/1 GN trays, integrating with standard commercial kitchenware

The E3101 requires a three-phase electrical supply and must be installed by a qualified electrician with appropriate circuit protection. It is not suitable for a standard single-phase connection. Like all commercial ranges, it should be positioned beneath an appropriately rated extraction canopy, and adequate clearance must be maintained around the unit to meet ventilation and fire safety requirements. The unit is substantial in both size and weight, so it is worth confirming available floor space and structural load-bearing capacity before ordering.

This model is well suited to hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, independent restaurants, and staff canteens producing a varied menu across both hob and oven. It is a practical choice for mid-sized operations where reliability and cooking flexibility are the priorities. Very high-output kitchens running multiple simultaneous services, or sites with particularly demanding throughput requirements, may find a wider or more heavily specified range better matched to their needs.

The Falcon Dominator Plus E3101 OTC is an electric commercial range combining three full-width cast iron hotplates with a fan-assisted oven below. It sits within Falcon's long-established Dominator Plus series, which has been a dependable choice in UK professional kitchens for many years. The configuration — solid hotplate cooking surface above a full-capacity oven — is a layout most kitchen brigades are comfortable with, and it lends itself well to operations running à la carte, table d'hôte, or high-cover service at consistent pace.

Cast iron distributes heat broadly and holds temperature well under sustained load. Heavy pans, stockpots, and bain-maries sit without difficulty on the surface, and the hotplate remains steady through busy periods rather than dropping away each time cookware changes. The fan-assisted oven circulates heat evenly around the cavity, which reduces hot spots and supports reliable results across multiple shelf positions — useful when roasting, braising, and finishing dishes are running simultaneously during a single service.

For operators focused on daily reliability and end-of-shift cleaning, the E3101 offers several practical advantages:

• Vitreous enamelled oven interior resists staining and cleans down quickly after service
• Full-width removable drip tray reduces oven floor cleaning time
• Fan-assisted circulation supports consistent results across all five shelf positions
• Cast iron hotplate handles sustained high-heat cooking and heavy commercial cookware
• Familiar Dominator Plus layout reduces brigade training time on new equipment

The E3101 requires a three-phase electrical supply, which is standard for equipment in this class but should be confirmed with your electrical contractor before ordering. The unit is substantial in both size and weight, so adequate clearance on all sides and compliant overhead extraction must be in place before installation. Reviewing your existing electrical infrastructure early will avoid delays on the day of commissioning.

This range is well suited to mid-sized restaurants, hotel kitchens, staff canteens, and similar operations running consistent daily covers. Where a site operates extended service periods with multiple chefs working the range at full capacity throughout the day, a wider or higher-output configuration may be worth considering. Equally, smaller operations with lighter throughput may find a more compact unit represents better value for their needs.
