Roller Grill PID700 Dual Zone Induction Hob

The Roller Grill PID700 is a dual zone induction hob designed for professional use. It operates two independent induction cooking zones, each controlled separately, giving the operator precise, responsive heat management across both surfaces simultaneously. The unit runs from a standard 13A supply, which makes it straightforward to position without dedicated electrical installation.

In service, the PID700 performs reliably across sustained periods — it is rated to run at full output for extended periods without thermal cut-out, which matters in kitchens where hobs are in near-constant use during a shift. The 20-level digital power control on each zone gives cooks the kind of fine adjustment that suits delicate sauce work as much as rapid boiling. Recovery after adding cold product to a pan is prompt, and because induction heats the pan directly rather than the surface, there is less residual heat drift when power is reduced.

Practically, this unit suits a number of operational settings well:

• Front-of-house theatre cooking where a clean, compact unit is needed
• Supplementary cooking capacity during peak service
• Stations where gas is not available or not permitted
• Kitchens with limited extraction, as induction generates significantly less ambient heat than gas or radiant electric

The vitro-ceramic glass plate is robust enough for regular commercial use and the raised steel bar along the front edge provides a degree of protection against pans being pushed off the surface. The unit is compact and light enough to be repositioned between services if required, which gives it flexibility a fixed range does not.

The 13A plug connection is both a strength and a consideration. It removes the need for hardwiring, but it also means the unit draws on a single socket circuit — something worth checking against your kitchen's electrical load before committing. The PID700 suits smaller operations and supplementary use well; kitchens running continuous high-output cooking across multiple zones may want to consider a heavier-duty configuration.

This hob is well suited to independent restaurants, small hotel kitchens, pop-up and event catering, and front-of-house cooking theatre. It works equally well as a backup or overflow unit in larger kitchens where flexibility is valued.
