Lincat Opus 800 OE8008 Electric Range Cooker

The Lincat Opus 800 OE8008 is a six-plate electric range from Lincat's Opus 800 series, built to the 800mm depth that has become a practical standard in professional kitchens. It combines a full six-zone hob with a generously sized, fan-assisted double-door oven beneath, making it a single-unit solution for kitchens that need both hob and oven capacity running simultaneously through a busy service.

On the hob, each of the six plates delivers consistent heat with thermostatic control across a broad temperature range, giving chefs reliable performance whether they're holding sauces at low heat or pushing for rapid output during peak covers. The full-depth dished hob surface makes cleaning straightforward between services, which matters in a kitchen running multiple sittings. Below, the fan-assisted oven circulates heat evenly across all shelf positions, reducing the hot spots that cause uneven results when the oven is fully loaded. The oven accommodates GN 1/1 dishes across multiple shelf positions, which makes it practical for batch cooking, reheating, and finishing work alongside active hob use.

From an operational standpoint, the OE8008 offers a number of practical advantages:

• Fan-assisted oven delivers even heat distribution when cooking at full capacity
• Vitreous enamelled oven liners and removable panels reduce cleaning time between services
• Dished hob surface contains spills and simplifies daily cleaning routines
• Side-opening oven doors allow safer access without obstruction in tighter kitchen layouts
• Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning and easier access for cleaning behind the unit

As an electric range, the OE8008 requires a suitable three-phase electrical supply — this is not a single-phase domestic connection, and installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with commercial kitchen fit-outs. The 800mm depth suits kitchens with a well-planned cooking line, but it is worth confirming clearances to adjacent equipment and walls before ordering, particularly in refits where the existing suite was built around 700mm-depth equipment. Ventilation extraction above the unit is essential and should be sized to handle the combined output of the hob and oven running under load.

The OE8008 is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, and catering operations running moderate to high covers where a reliable, all-electric cooking suite is preferred. It sits within a broader range, so if your service volume is particularly high or your menu demands heavier continuous use, it is worth discussing whether a higher-output configuration would serve you better. Equally, if your kitchen runs lower volumes, a smaller footprint unit may offer better value in running costs.
