Hobs & Boiling Tops

The Caterlite 2000W induction hob is a compact, single-zone portable cooking unit designed for light-duty professional use. It operates via direct induction, meaning heat is generated in the pan itself rather than through a surface element — providing precise, responsive temperature control across a range that suits most everyday cooking tasks, from gentle simmering to high-heat searing.

In practice, this unit performs well in lower-pressure environments where one or two additional cooking positions are needed without the commitment of fixed equipment. It is commonly used as a backup hob during service, a dedicated sauce or bain-marie station, or a primary cooking surface at events and temporary catering setups. Because it runs from a standard plug socket, deployment is straightforward. Recovery between tasks is quick given the nature of induction, though at 2000W this is not a unit intended for continuous high-throughput service across multiple covers.

Key practical advantages include:

• Automatic pan detection — power only draws when a compatible pan is in contact with the surface
• Built-in timer with auto shut-off to help manage multiple simultaneous tasks
• Selectable power and temperature modes for flexible cooking control
• Flat glass surface wipes clean quickly between uses
• Lightweight build makes it easy to relocate between stations or venues

Installation requirements are minimal — a standard UK 13A socket is all that is needed. The unit is not hardwired and carries no gas or water connections. The warranty is rated for semi-commercial, light-duty use only, which is an honest indicator of where this hob sits in the market. It is not designed to replace a fixed range or sustain full-service volume in a busy kitchen. Weight capacity is rated to 10kg, which covers most standard pans comfortably. Note that induction-compatible cookware is essential — cast iron, carbon steel, and magnetic stainless steel pans will work; aluminium and copper will not.

This hob suits event caterers, pop-up kitchens, small cafés needing an occasional backup position, and operators who need a portable, easily stored cooking unit. For kitchens requiring sustained multi-zone output or heavier daily use, a more robust countertop induction unit or fixed induction range would be a better long-term fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit will cover what you need in service, we are happy to talk through the options with you.

The Buffalo Heavy Duty Induction Hob is a single-zone countertop unit built for professional kitchen use. Rather than generating heat through a flame or a conventional electric element, it transfers energy directly into compatible cookware via induction — producing faster response times, more precise temperature control, and a cooking surface that stays significantly cooler than gas or radiant electric alternatives.

In a working kitchen, the 3kW element is capable of bringing liquids to the boil quickly during a busy service and holding steady, consistent heat for sauces, sautéing, or gentle simmering. Because induction only activates when a suitable pan is detected, energy is not wasted between uses and the surface does not accumulate dangerous levels of residual heat — a meaningful consideration in compact or high-traffic kitchen environments where operator comfort and safety matter.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

• Digital touch controls allow precise temperature adjustment throughout service
• Built-in timer supports consistent cooking results across covers
• Automatic pan detection cuts power when no cookware is present, reducing running costs
• The ceramic glass surface wipes down quickly at the end of service
• Stainless steel housing meets commercial hygiene requirements

This is a countertop unit requiring a suitable worksurface and a standard mains electrical connection — no gas supply, water connection, or fixed installation is needed. That flexibility makes it straightforward to reposition as kitchen layouts change. One practical consideration worth noting: induction cooking requires ferrous-based cookware. Standard aluminium pans without an induction-compatible base will not work, so it is worth checking your existing batterie de cuisine before ordering.

This unit is well suited to smaller catering operations, pop-up kitchens, food trucks, and as a supplementary cooking station in larger establishments. It is also commonly used for front-of-house cooking where a dedicated burner is needed without the infrastructure demands of a full range. For sites running continuous high-volume cooking across extended services, a higher-output multi-zone unit is likely a better fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your service volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you commit.

The Buffalo single zone induction hob is a countertop electric cooking unit that uses electromagnetic induction to heat compatible cookware directly. There is no open flame, no radiant element, and the surface surrounding the pan stays cool during use. A rotary dial moves through 26 power levels, giving operators a reasonable degree of control over cooking intensity across a range of tasks.

In a working kitchen, this unit is best understood as a supplementary cooking position rather than a replacement for a primary range. The 3kW output delivers fast heat-up and adequate recovery between uses, making it a practical fit for sauce work, finishing dishes, holding at temperature, or managing additional demand during a busy service. Because the surface stays cool, spills tend to wipe away cleanly rather than burning on, which helps keep turnaround times between covers short.

Practical advantages operators tend to value in day-to-day use:

• Instant heat response with no warm-up period required before service
• Cool surrounding surface reduces burn risk in tight or front-of-house layouts
• 26 power levels support fine control across different cooking tasks
• Stainless steel construction holds up under regular commercial handling
• Standard plug connection — no gas supply or fixed electrical installation needed

Setup is straightforward given there are no fixed services to connect, but it is worth confirming your existing circuit can support the load before positioning the unit, particularly if other equipment shares the same supply. It is also worth checking your current pan stock — the hob will only work with induction-compatible cookware, and that is a practical consideration if you are relying on existing pots and pans.

This model suits smaller kitchens, pop-up operations, catering vans, and established sites that need a flexible additional cooking point without committing to a permanent installation. Where induction is needed as a primary cooking method across multiple positions, a larger multi-zone unit is likely to be a more practical solution.

If you are weighing up whether a single-zone unit at this output level is the right fit for your operation, we are glad to help you think it through.

This Buffalo countertop induction hob provides four independent cooking zones across a freestanding stainless steel unit, drawing on two 3kW elements to deliver controlled, responsive heat without an open flame or radiant element. It operates from a standard plug-in connection, which removes the need for hardwired electrical installation and makes repositioning straightforward when kitchen layouts change.

In a working kitchen, the practical advantage of induction becomes clear during service. Heat transfers directly into the pan rather than the surrounding air, which means faster response when adjusting temperatures and less residual heat building up on the line. Each zone offers eleven power levels along with a boost function for situations where rapid heat-up is needed — useful when recovering temperature quickly between covers. The ceramic glass surface stays relatively cool outside the pan contact area, which reduces the risk of accidental burns and simplifies end-of-service cleaning.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Significantly lower energy loss compared with gas, as heat goes directly into the cookware
• Reduced ambient heat output, which can ease the load on extraction and improve comfort for kitchen staff
• Flat, sealed ceramic glass surface that wipes down quickly after service
• No gas supply or hardwired connection required — plug in and use
• Consistent zone-by-zone temperature control across eleven power settings

Because this unit runs from a plug-in connection, it is well suited to kitchens where a permanent induction installation is not practical — temporary setups, event catering, smaller sites, or as supplementary capacity alongside an existing range. It is worth confirming that the available socket circuit is rated appropriately for the combined load before use. The stainless steel and toughened ceramic glass construction is robust for daily commercial use, though operators with very high continuous throughput may find a larger, hardwired unit better suited to their volume.

This hob works well for small to mid-sized operations, catering functions, pop-up kitchens, and sites looking to introduce induction cooking without committing to a full installation. If your service volumes are higher or you need more zones running simultaneously at full power, it is worth considering what a larger format unit could offer.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen setup or want to talk through induction cooking in more detail, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Vollrath 4-Series is a countertop single-zone induction hob designed for professional kitchen use. It delivers 3kW of induction power through a front-mounted touch screen interface, with adjustable temperature and power levels, four programmable settings, and compatibility with a temperature probe for precision cooking. The stainless steel construction and compact footprint make it practical for counter space that is at a premium.

In service, this unit is commonly used for simmering sauces and stocks that require consistent, controlled heat over extended periods, and for deep frying where holding a precise oil temperature matters. Induction heating responds quickly and holds a set temperature reliably, which helps reduce the risk of product loss during busy service. The 3kW output is well suited to single-zone tasks on a live pass or prep station rather than as the primary heat source across a full section.

The practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Precise power control reduces scorching on delicate sauces and reductions
• Programmable settings speed up repetitive tasks during prep
• Induction surface stays cooler than gas or solid-top alternatives, reducing ambient heat
• Easy-clean flat surface with no burner components to dismantle
• Lightweight at 12kg, making it straightforward to reposition between service areas

Installation is straightforward — the unit runs from a standard single-phase supply and requires no gas connection or fixed ventilation. It sits on a countertop and needs adequate clearance around the unit for air circulation. As with all induction equipment, compatible cookware is required; cast iron, carbon steel, and magnetic stainless steel pans will all work, but aluminium and copper will not.

This hob is well suited to smaller operations, pop-up kitchens, and supplementary cooking positions in larger sites — anywhere a reliable, controllable single-zone heat source is needed without the infrastructure of a fixed range. Sites running high-volume continuous frying or needing multiple simultaneous cooking zones should consider a higher-output or multi-zone alternative.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service style or want to talk through how it would work alongside your existing equipment, the team is happy to help before you commit to a purchase.

The Vollrath 4-Series countertop induction hob is a single-zone unit designed for commercial kitchens where precise, controllable heat is more useful than raw output. Running at 3.8kW, it uses induction rather than radiant or gas heat, meaning energy is transferred directly to the pan rather than the surrounding surface. The result is faster response to temperature changes and a cooking zone that stays cooler and cleaner between uses.

In a working kitchen environment, this kind of control matters most for tasks that require consistency over time — reducing stocks and sauces, holding a steady temperature for deep frying, or managing delicate preparations that would suffer under the blunt heat of a solid-top range. The touch screen and four programmable settings allow kitchen teams to standardise temperatures across different service periods, which is particularly useful where multiple staff rotate through the same station.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are worth noting:

• Instant heat response allows cooks to adjust quickly during service without waiting for a zone to cool or recover
• The cool cooking surface reduces burn risk and makes end-of-service cleaning straightforward
• Programmable settings support consistency across shifts without relying on individual judgement
• No gas connection or extraction hood required, which simplifies placement within the kitchen
• Stainless steel construction stands up well to the knocks and cleaning cycles of a busy pass or prep area

Because this is a countertop unit, it can be positioned flexibly — on a prep bench, a pass, or as a supplementary station during high-demand periods. It does not require a fixed plumbed connection or dedicated ventilation, though it will need an adequate electrical supply. At 12kg it's manageable to reposition, though its role in most kitchens will be semi-permanent rather than truly mobile.

This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where one dedicated induction zone is needed for sauce work, frying, or temperature-sensitive cooking. It works as a standalone supplement to an existing range or as part of a purpose-built induction setup. For operations running multiple simultaneous induction zones at volume, multi-zone or higher-output units would be worth considering instead.

If you're weighing this up against other induction options for your setup, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your service style and kitchen layout.

The Buffalo four-zone countertop induction hob is a plug-in electric cooking unit designed for professional kitchens that need reliable, controllable heat without the commitment of a hardwired or gas installation. It provides four independent cooking zones — two rated at 3kW each — with eleven power levels per zone, giving chefs the control to move between a rapid boil and a steady simmer without the lag you get from gas burners or radiant hobs.

In a busy service environment, the ability to respond quickly matters. Induction transfers energy directly into the pan rather than heating a surface first, so heat is available almost immediately when a zone is activated or when a power level is adjusted. There is also a boost function for moments when maximum output is needed at short notice. Recovery between dishes is fast, which helps when covers are coming through consistently and there is little margin for delay.

From an operational standpoint, the format offers some practical advantages worth considering:

• No open flame or radiant element reduces ambient heat in the kitchen, easing the load on extraction
• The flat ceramic glass surface cleans quickly between services
• Plug-in connection means it can be repositioned or used as a temporary supplement during high-demand periods
• Eleven power levels per zone support a wider range of cooking techniques than a simple high-medium-low arrangement
• Stainless steel construction holds up well under the wear of a working kitchen

Because this unit runs from a standard connection rather than a hardwired supply, installation is straightforward and does not require an electrician or a gas engineer. That said, it is worth checking your available socket capacity and circuit loading before positioning it in a fixed station, particularly if other high-draw equipment is running nearby. The unit is suited to countertop use and should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it.

This hob works well as a primary cooking station in smaller operations — cafés, pop-ups, ghost kitchens, or smaller restaurant kitchens — and is also used regularly as a supplementary unit in larger kitchens during service peaks. If your volume is consistently high and you need more zones running simultaneously, it is worth considering a higher-output model before committing.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service pattern or kitchen setup, we are happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo Heavy Duty Double Induction Hob is a twin-zone, hardwired induction unit designed for commercial kitchen use. Each zone operates independently, allowing operators to run two cooking tasks simultaneously at different power levels. The stainless steel body is straightforward to wipe down, and the controls are uncomplicated enough for all kitchen staff to use without training.

In a working kitchen environment, induction performs well where speed and temperature control matter. Heat is applied directly to the pan rather than the surface, which means response to power adjustments is near-immediate. This is useful during service when you need to reduce a sauce quickly or hold a dish without it catching. The hardwired connection is appropriate for a unit that will see daily use rather than occasional deployment — it removes the risk associated with trailing plug leads in a busy pass or cook line.

Practical advantages of induction at this level include:

• Cool surface between zones reduces burn risk and simplifies cleaning
• Independent zone control allows simultaneous cooking at different intensities
• No combustion means no ventilation canopy requirements in most installations
• Stainless steel construction stands up well to daily commercial use
• Compact footprint suits tight counter or range sections

This unit is hardwired, so installation requires a qualified electrician and a suitable dedicated supply. It is worth confirming your existing electrical capacity before ordering, particularly if you are adding this to an already loaded circuit board. Induction requires compatible cookware — pans must be ferrous-based, so aluminium and copper will not work unless they have an induction-compatible base.

The Buffalo double induction hob suits small to medium operations — cafés, small restaurant kitchens, supper clubs, or as a supplementary unit on a larger line. For sites running continuous high-volume service across multiple zones, a heavier-duty or larger multi-zone model may be worth considering instead.

If you are unsure whether this unit will cope with your service volume or want to check electrical compatibility before committing, we are happy to talk it through.

The Buffalo 8kW induction stock pot hob is a hardwired, single-zone induction unit built specifically for high-volume cooking tasks in professional kitchens. It is designed to handle large stock pots, stockpot braising, and bulk frying where sustained, powerful heat is required over extended service periods.

With 8kW of induction power, this unit brings large volumes of liquid up to temperature considerably faster than a conventional gas or electric ring at a comparable output. Recovery after adding cold stock or ingredients is prompt, which matters during continuous production rather than à la carte service. The cooking surface accommodates pans up to 320mm in diameter, making it well suited to the large-format cookware commonly used in production kitchens, event catering, and high-throughput establishments.

Because induction transfers energy directly to the pan rather than heating the surrounding air, kitchens typically see a reduction in ambient heat at the cooking station. Pan detection means the element draws no power when a pan is absent, which reduces running costs incrementally over the course of a busy week. The stainless steel and ceramic glass construction keeps cleaning straightforward — a consideration that is easy to underestimate in a busy brigade.

• Reduced ambient heat at the cooking station compared to open-flame alternatives
• Prompt recovery when cold ingredients are added mid-service
• Pan detection reduces unnecessary energy draw between uses
• Smooth ceramic surface is quick to wipe down at service end
• Flame-free operation suits kitchens with ventilation or fire suppression constraints

As a hardwired unit, this hob requires a dedicated electrical supply and appropriate installation by a qualified electrician before use. It is not a plug-in appliance. Operators should confirm that their existing electrical infrastructure can support the 8kW load before ordering.

This hob is well suited to production kitchens, central preparation facilities, event and hospitality operations, and any site where large-batch cooking is a regular part of the workflow. It is less suited to operations needing multiple concurrent cooking zones in a compact space — in those cases, a multi-zone induction suite may be a more practical configuration. For very high-volume sites running stock pots continuously across long shifts, it is worth discussing whether a higher-output or multi-unit arrangement would better match the demand.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen's electrical capacity or workflow, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

The Buffalo Heavy Duty Induction Hob is a single-zone, hardwired induction unit designed for continuous use in professional kitchen environments. It operates via a large ceramic glass cooking surface and uses electromagnetic induction to transfer heat directly into compatible cookware, rather than heating the surface itself. The result is fast, controlled cooking with minimal ambient heat output — a practical consideration in kitchens where temperature and comfort matter during long service periods.

In a busy kitchen, this unit performs reliably across a range of cooking tasks — boiling, simmering, frying, and sautéing. Because induction responds almost instantly to temperature adjustments, chefs can move between techniques quickly without waiting for a zone to cool down or heat up. The pan detection function means power is only drawn when compatible cookware is in place, which reduces unnecessary energy consumption and protects the unit's internal components over time.

From an operational standpoint, there are several practical advantages worth noting:

• Precise digital touch controls allow repeatable temperature settings across service periods
• Built-in timer supports consistent cooking without constant monitoring
• Smooth ceramic glass surface cleans quickly between services
• Lower ambient heat output compared to gas improves working conditions on the pass
• Pan detection reduces running costs by cutting power when no cookware is present

This unit is hardwired — it cannot be plugged into a standard socket — so a qualified electrician will need to install a dedicated supply before commissioning. It accepts pans up to 320mm in diameter, which covers most professional cookware. The stainless steel housing is robust and suited to the physical demands of a commercial environment, though it is worth confirming your cookware is induction-compatible before purchase, as aluminium and some stainless grades will not work.

This hob suits small to medium operations — cafés, pub kitchens, hotel breakfast stations, and smaller restaurant kitchens — where a reliable, easy-to-clean induction zone is needed without the complexity of a multi-burner range. For sites running high-volume continuous service across multiple cooking positions, a larger multi-zone induction suite may be worth considering instead.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your service volumes or existing electrical setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Buffalo 600 Series freestanding induction hob is a self-contained cooking unit combining a four-zone induction surface with an integral stainless steel cupboard base. It is designed for commercial kitchens that want induction cooking at counter height without the need for a separate equipment stand or fabricated bench. The unit is hardwired and intended for permanent installation.

Each cooking zone offers eleven power levels, giving kitchen teams precise control across a wide range of cooking tasks — from a gentle simmer to a rapid boil. A boost function is available on each zone when sustained high heat is needed during a busy service. Induction heating transfers energy directly to compatible cookware rather than heating the surrounding surface, which means response to temperature changes is noticeably faster than gas or solid-top electric alternatives. It also means the surface itself stays cooler between zones, reducing the risk of accidental burns.

From an operational standpoint, induction offers a number of practical advantages in a commercial setting:

• Faster heat-up and recovery compared with conventional electric hobs
• Reduced ambient heat output, easing the load on ventilation and air conditioning
• A flat, smooth ceramic glass surface that wipes down quickly after service
• No burners, grates or flame-related maintenance requirements
• Integral cupboard base provides accessible storage for induction-compatible cookware

Installation requires a hardwired electrical connection — this is not a plug-in unit — so a qualified electrician should be involved in planning and commissioning. The cupboard base brings the hob to a standard ergonomic working height, and the adjustable feet allow for levelling on uneven floors. The 600mm width fits within a standard 600 Series cook line and is designed to align with other Buffalo 600 Series appliances if a matched suite is required. One practical consideration worth noting: induction cooking requires cookware with a ferrous base, so any existing aluminium or copper pans will not be compatible and would need replacing.

This unit is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, dark kitchens, and event catering operations where cooking volume is moderate and installation space is limited. It works particularly well where reducing kitchen heat load is a priority — basement kitchens or compact back-of-house areas benefit noticeably from the lower ambient temperature induction produces. For operations running sustained high-volume service across multiple zones simultaneously, it is worth discussing whether a higher-output configuration would be a better long-term fit.

If you are unsure whether this model matches your service volume or electrical setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Vollrath 4-Series is a single-zone countertop induction hob designed for professional kitchen use. It operates at 2.6kW and is built around practical usability — a front-mounted touch screen, four programmable cooking settings, and an optional temperature probe allow consistent, repeatable results across service periods without relying on operator guesswork.

In a working kitchen environment, this unit is well suited to tasks that demand precise, sustained heat control: simmering stocks and sauces, holding temperatures during service, or providing a controlled heat source at a live cooking station. Induction cooking responds faster than conventional hobs and transfers heat directly to the pan rather than the surrounding surface, which helps with both energy efficiency and kitchen temperature management during busy periods.

The practical advantages of this unit in day-to-day use include:

• Rapid response to temperature adjustments, supporting tighter control during service
• Programmable presets that reduce setup time and support consistency across shifts
• A cool cooking surface that lowers burn risk and simplifies end-of-service cleaning

It will need an appropriate electrical supply, so it is worth confirming your existing circuit capacity with your electrician before ordering. At 12kg it is light enough to reposition if your workflow changes.

This hob is a practical choice for smaller operations, pop-up kitchens, or as a supplementary zone in larger kitchens where a dedicated sauce or finishing station is needed. For sites that need higher continuous output or multiple simultaneous zones, it is worth considering heavier-duty induction options from the wider range.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service volume or kitchen setup, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you commit to an order.

The Buffalo 600 Series double zone induction hob is a countertop unit designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable, controllable heat without the infrastructure demands of a gas installation. It provides two independent cooking zones, each with eleven power levels, allowing different dishes to be held at different temperatures simultaneously. A boost function on each zone delivers additional output when a rapid increase in heat is required.

In a working kitchen environment, induction offers a practical advantage over gas or ceramic in that energy is directed into the pan rather than the surrounding air. This keeps the cooking line cooler and reduces the load on extraction, which matters in tighter kitchen setups or where ventilation capacity is limited. The smooth ceramic glass surface means cleaning between services is straightforward — no burners, grates or elements to work around.

From an operational standpoint, this unit suits a range of day-to-day tasks well:

• Independent zone control supports simultaneous dishes at different temperatures
• Boost function assists rapid bring-to-boil without waiting on recovery
• Induction technology reduces ambient heat output compared with gas or radiant hobs
• Ceramic glass surface cleans quickly and withstands regular commercial use
• Compatible with the 600 Series range for a consistent countertop line

This hob is hardwired rather than plug-in, so an appropriate electrical connection will need to be in place before installation. It is sized at 400mm wide, which means it sits neatly on Buffalo's own 600 Series cupboard units or can be used as a freestanding countertop appliance. It is worth noting this is a two-zone unit — kitchens running heavier concurrent output may find a four-zone or higher-wattage model more appropriate.

This unit is well suited to smaller operations, supplementary cooking positions, or kitchens making the transition away from gas where a compact induction solution is needed. It works particularly well in prep areas, serveries, or as additional capacity during busy periods. For sites with consistently high throughput across multiple burners, a larger or more powerful unit would be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this unit matches the demands of your kitchen or want to talk through how it fits alongside your existing equipment, the team is happy to help you work that out before you commit.

The Buffalo 600 Series four-ring electric hob is a hardwired countertop cooking unit designed for commercial kitchens where straightforward, reliable hob cooking is required. It provides four independent cooking zones — two lighter-output rings suited to simmering and gentle reduction work, and two higher-output rings for boiling and pan frying — giving a combined output of 7kW across the surface.

In a busy kitchen environment, the hob performs reliably through continuous service. The two heavier rings handle tasks that demand sustained heat, while the lighter rings allow operators to hold sauces or keep sides at temperature without tying up more capable positions elsewhere in the line. It is not designed to replace a high-output range in a high-volume à la carte operation, but for a kitchen running a moderate cover count, it covers the fundamentals well.

Practical advantages worth noting:

• Fully pressed and sealed hob top simplifies cleaning at the end of service
• Four independent zones allow simultaneous cooking at different temperatures
• Integrates neatly into a 600 Series cook line for a consistent bench layout
• Can sit directly on a 600 Series base cupboard, making use of otherwise unused vertical space
• Countertop format suits kitchens where floor space or planning constraints limit freestanding equipment

The unit is hardwired rather than plug-connected, so a qualified electrician will be needed for installation. It requires a suitable dedicated electrical supply — this should be confirmed with your electrician before ordering. At 600mm wide, it aligns with standard 600mm suite depths and fits comfortably on a standard worktop run. The unit is relatively compact and lightweight, which makes repositioning straightforward if your layout changes.

This hob is well suited to small-to-medium commercial kitchens, café and bistro operations, and sites where electric cooking is preferred or where gas is not available. It also works well as a supplementary cooking position in a larger kitchen — useful for pass-side holding or prep area cooking. For higher-volume sites where sustained throughput across all four rings is the norm, it is worth considering a heavier-duty model with greater individual ring output.

If you are building out a 600 Series line or want to talk through whether this unit fits your service volume and kitchen layout, our team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

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.

The Buffalo 600 Series 2 Ring Electric Hob is a compact, hardwired countertop cooking unit built for commercial use. It carries two independently controlled solid plate rings — a smaller and a larger element — giving an operator two simultaneous cooking zones on a 400mm-wide footprint. It is straightforward in purpose: controlled heat across two positions, built to the standards expected of professional kitchen equipment.

In a working kitchen environment this hob earns its place as a reliable secondary or supplementary cooking station. It suits sites where gas is unavailable or unsuitable, or where a compact electric option is needed to extend an existing cook line without significant infrastructure changes. The sealed, pressed hob top resists spillage penetrating the unit and simplifies cleaning at the end of service — a practical advantage in a fast-paced environment where cleaning time matters.

Key operational advantages worth noting:

• Two independently controlled cooking zones for simultaneous tasks
• Sealed hob surface reduces cleaning time between and after service
• Compact 400mm width fits tight countertop positions or sits neatly on matching 600 Series cupboard bases
• Hardwired connection supports stable, consistent power delivery
• Part of the 600 Series range, allowing a uniform cook line alongside other Buffalo 600 Series appliances

Installation requires a hardwired electrical connection — this is not a plug-in appliance, so a qualified electrician will need to commission it. The 400mm width is well suited to smaller kitchens, serveries, and prep areas, though for sites running sustained high-volume service across multiple cooking tasks, a broader or more powerful multi-ring unit would be worth considering.

This hob is best suited to cafés, small restaurants, staff canteens, and hospitality operations where a compact secondary cooking station is needed. It also works well in catering units or mobile kitchens where space and electrical load are both constrained. For operations requiring a higher cooking output or more zones, a larger model from the same series or a heavier-duty range may better meet the demand.

If you are building out a 600 Series cook line or want to discuss whether this unit suits your site's electrical supply and service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Adventys GLN2 3000 F is a dual-zone induction hob designed for professional kitchen use. Its two cooking zones are arranged front-to-back rather than side-by-side, which keeps the unit's footprint narrow — a useful characteristic where counter space is limited. Each zone operates independently, so the cook can hold a sauce at a low simmer on one plate while driving a stock to a rolling boil on the other, without either zone affecting the other's output.

Induction's near-instant response to temperature adjustments is a genuine operational advantage during service. Heat changes register immediately, giving cooks more precise control than is typically possible on gas burners or solid-top ranges. Recovery after adding cold product to a pan is quick, and because the glass surface outside the pan contact area remains relatively cool, spills do not bake on — which shortens end-of-service cleaning considerably.

Key practical advantages of this unit include:

• Two independently controlled zones allow simultaneous cooking at different heat levels
• Front-to-back layout preserves counter width on a narrow pass or prep station
• Plug-in connection means the unit can be repositioned as service needs change
• Cool outer surface reduces burn risk and keeps cleaning straightforward
• Stainless steel construction stands up to daily commercial kitchen use

As a plug-in unit, there are no fixed electrical installation requirements beyond a circuit rated to handle the combined load. It is worth confirming your available circuit capacity before putting the unit into service. The compact format makes it well suited to cafés, supper clubs, pop-up operations, and smaller kitchens, or as a supplementary station within a larger setup. Sites running continuous high-volume service across multiple pans simultaneously may find a heavier-duty multi-zone induction suite a more practical fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your service volume and kitchen layout, our team is happy to help you work it out before you commit.

The Adventys GLN2 3000 S is a twin-zone induction hob manufactured in France, offering two independently controlled cooking zones in a compact stainless steel unit. Each zone operates at its own power level, so a chef can hold a sauce at a low simmer on one side while bringing stock to a rapid boil on the other — both without interference between the two.

Induction transfers heat directly to the pan base rather than to the surrounding surface, which means quicker power response when levels are adjusted and noticeably less ambient heat building up at the cooking station. During a busy service, that cooler working environment is a practical advantage. The GLN2 3000 S is plug-in rather than hardwired, which keeps installation uncomplicated and allows the unit to be repositioned as operational needs shift — useful in kitchens where the layout changes seasonally or the unit is needed across more than one station.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the stainless steel construction holds up well to regular kitchen use and cleans down quickly between covers. Key practical points include:

• Two independently controlled zones allow concurrent cooking tasks at different power levels
• Plug-in connection removes the need for hardwired electrical installation
• Induction surface remains cooler than gas or radiant alternatives, reducing station heat build-up
• Stainless steel finish is robust and straightforward to keep clean during service
• Compatible with any induction-suitable cookware already in the kitchen

This unit is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, compact restaurant kitchens, prep areas, or sites needing a supplementary cooking station without a fixed installation. It is light enough to move between positions without difficulty. For higher-volume kitchens requiring sustained heavy use across multiple zones throughout a long service, a more powerful model from the range would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are weighing this up against your service volume or existing kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Adventys GLN 3000 is a single-zone induction hob producing 3kW of cooking power from a standard 13A plug. Made in France by a manufacturer with a solid track record in professional induction, it is designed for commercial kitchens that need reliable, controllable heat without the commitment of a hardwired installation. The compact stainless steel construction means it can be positioned wherever it is most useful — on a pass, a prep counter, or a satellite station.

Induction transfers heat directly to the pan rather than the surrounding surface, which means faster response to temperature changes and more consistent results than traditional hob types. For service tasks such as reducing sauces, holding stocks, or finishing dishes to order, that precision has real operational value. The 3kW element supports reasonable recovery between uses, though operators planning sustained back-to-back service at full load should note this is a single-zone unit — it is not a substitute for a multi-burner range in a high-volume kitchen.

The GLN 3000 suits operations where flexibility matters:

• Plug-and-play setup — no electrician required for initial installation
• Cool surrounding surface reduces burn risk and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Digital controls support consistent results across different members of staff
• Induction efficiency keeps running costs lower than comparable gas or ceramic output
• Lightweight construction makes repositioning between services straightforward

Because it runs from a 13A socket, placement is largely unconstrained by fixed infrastructure — a genuine advantage for pop-up operations, temporary stations, or kitchens where running additional hardwired circuits is not practical. One important consideration: induction requires ferrous-base cookware. Aluminium, copper, and most non-magnetic pans will not work, so it is worth auditing your existing pan stock before committing.

The GLN 3000 is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, hotel room service preparation, private dining setups, and as a supplementary station in larger kitchens. Operators running high-volume continuous service across multiple cooking zones may find a higher-output or multi-zone unit better matched to their throughput demands.

If you are weighing up whether this model fits your service style and existing setup, the team are happy to talk it through with you.

The Adventys BRIC 3000 is a single-zone portable induction hob built from stainless steel and rated at 3kW. Unlike the lightweight domestic-grade induction plates that occasionally find their way into commercial settings, this unit is engineered with professional kitchen use in mind — capable of handling the base and weight of large commercial pots and pans without compromise.

In a working kitchen, the BRIC 3000 responds quickly to temperature adjustments, which is genuinely useful when you need to move between a rolling boil and a controlled simmer mid-service. That responsiveness also makes it a practical choice for tasks where precision matters — sauce reduction, chocolate tempering, sous vide water bath maintenance — where a degree of consistency is difficult to achieve over gas or conventional electric rings.

From an operational standpoint, several characteristics make this unit a useful addition to many kitchens:

• Runs from a standard 13A socket with no dedicated circuit or electrical modification needed
• Weighs under 8kg, so it can be repositioned between prep and service without difficulty
• Induction transfers heat directly to the pan, keeping the surrounding surface cooler and easing the ambient heat load
• No open elements or burners to clean around — the flat stainless surface wipes down quickly between tasks
• Compact enough to store away and deployed as a supplementary or backup unit when required

Because it draws through a single 13A plug, there are no installation prerequisites beyond confirming your existing socket can comfortably sustain a continuous load at that rating. It is worth being clear-eyed about the unit's role: the BRIC 3000 is best suited to supplementary, targeted, or occasional cooking tasks rather than serving as the primary heat source in a kitchen running multiple covers simultaneously. For that level of sustained throughput, a multi-zone induction range or higher-output solution would be more appropriate.

This hob works well for smaller cafés, pop-up catering operations, front-of-house cooking theatre, finishing stations, and as a dependable backup in larger kitchens. Sites with continuous, high-volume cooking across several burners should consider whether a heavier-duty induction range would better match demand.

If you are weighing this up against other options or want to talk through how it would fit into your specific setup, we are glad to help before you commit.

The Buffalo single induction hob is a compact, plug-in cooking unit built for professional catering environments where flexibility and energy efficiency are practical priorities. It operates through a ceramic glass surface with touch controls and connects via a standard 13A plug, removing the need for any hardwired electrical installation.

Induction cooking transfers heat directly to the pan rather than the surrounding surface, so the 3kW element delivers responsive, controlled output with less energy waste than conventional radiant or gas hobs. Recovery between cooking tasks is quick, and 19 selectable power levels give operators precise control when moving between searing, simmering, and holding during a busy service. The cooler ambient surface temperature also helps reduce heat build-up at the cooking station — a noticeable advantage in an already hot kitchen at peak hours.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Plug-in connection means no electrical contractor and no installation downtime
• Lightweight and portable — practical for mobile units, pop-ups, and front-of-house use
• Smooth ceramic glass surface cleans down quickly between services
• Precise power control reduces overcooking risk during quieter covers
• Induction efficiency keeps running costs lower compared to gas or radiant electric alternatives

One consideration worth addressing before purchase: induction cooking requires cookware with a ferrous base. Standard aluminium or copper pans will not function on this hob. Operators switching from gas should check their existing batterie de cuisine before committing. This unit is not designed to replace a full range in a high-volume kitchen, but works reliably as a supplementary cooking station or as the primary hob in lower-throughput environments.

This hob is well suited to smaller catering operations, mobile caterers, pop-up kitchens, hospitality suites, and front-of-house cooking demonstrations where portability and a clean finish matter. For sites running consistently high covers across multiple cooking zones, a heavier-duty or multi-zone induction solution is likely to be more appropriate.

If you are weighing up whether a single-zone unit will cover your throughput, or have questions about cookware compatibility, we are glad to talk it through before you place an order.

The Caterlite double induction hob is a countertop unit with two independent cooking zones, touch-panel controls, and a stainless steel body with a ceramic glass cooking surface. It runs from a standard 13A socket, which means it can be positioned wherever a socket is available and moved without any rewiring or installation work.

Induction technology transfers energy directly to compatible cookware rather than heating the surrounding air, so response to temperature adjustments is immediate. In a service environment, that means less waiting between dishes and more consistent results across the cooking surface. The ten heat settings and a timer of up to 180 minutes give enough control for short-order cooking, prep work, and holding tasks.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the ceramic glass surface is quick to wipe down between covers, and because the surface itself stays cool outside the pan contact area, burnt-on food residue is less of a concern than with gas or radiant equipment. Practical advantages include:

• Immediate heat response with no warm-up period before service
• Lower ambient heat output than gas or ceramic radiant hobs
• No dedicated electrical circuit or installation work required
• Straightforward touch controls accessible to all kitchen staff
• Portable format suits mobile catering, pop-ups, and overflow stations

One point worth confirming before purchase: your cookware must be induction-compatible. Cast iron, carbon steel, and most stainless steel pans will work. Aluminium, copper, and glass will not. As a double-zone countertop unit running from a single 13A supply, this hob is best suited to lower-volume cooking rather than sustained high-throughput service. Sites running continuous multi-pan output across long service periods would likely benefit from a heavier-duty freestanding induction range with a higher combined power output.

This unit is well suited to small cafés, mobile caterers, pop-up operations, demonstration cooking, and any hospitality setting that needs flexible supplementary capacity without committing to a fixed installation.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen and service volumes, we are happy to help before you place an order.

The Nisbets Essentials Single Induction Hob is a compact, single-zone unit designed for light-duty cooking tasks. It runs from a standard 13A socket, requires no fixed installation, and heats only the cookware placed directly on its surface — making it a practical option where a portable or supplementary heat source is needed.

In terms of real-world performance, this hob is best understood as a support unit rather than a primary cooking station. The 2.7kW output is adequate for boiling, simmering, frying, and sautéing at low to moderate throughput — one pan at a time. It is not suited to sustained high-volume service. Where it performs well is in controlled, lower-intensity settings: a front-of-house station for finishing dishes, a prep area needing occasional heat, or as a reliable backup when a main range is temporarily out of service.

• Runs from a standard 13A plug — no hardwiring or gas supply required
• Lightweight and genuinely portable between kitchen areas or sites
• Induction heating keeps the surrounding surface cool, reducing burn risk
• Digital controls allow straightforward temperature adjustment during service
• Flat surface wipes down quickly — no burners or grates to clean around

Because this unit plugs into a standard socket, there are no electrical installation costs and no specialist ventilation requirements beyond normal kitchen airflow. It is worth confirming that your cookware is induction-compatible — pans require a magnetic base — before putting the unit into use. The stainless steel and plastic construction keeps the unit light and easy to move, though operators should be aware this reflects its light-duty positioning. It is not built to the same specification as a fixed countertop induction unit intended for continuous service.

This hob is well suited to small catering operations, pop-up events, mobile catering units, front-of-house finishing stations, or as a temporary backup on a busy service line. For sites requiring continuous multi-zone induction cooking or higher sustained output, a heavier-duty countertop or range-style induction unit would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are weighing up whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Adventys GL2 6000 F is a dual-zone commercial induction hob designed for professional kitchen use. It provides two independently controlled cooking zones, each driven by a 3kW element, housed in a compact stainless steel unit. Induction technology generates heat directly in the pan rather than through a radiant surface, which gives faster response times and more consistent temperature control than gas or ceramic alternatives.

In a working kitchen, the independent zone control is a genuine operational advantage. Both zones can run at entirely different temperatures simultaneously without either influencing the other, which is practical when moving between a delicate sauce and a rapid boil during the same service. The 3kW element on each zone provides solid recovery when cold pans are introduced, keeping throughput steady rather than forcing a pause while the zone rebuilds heat.

Key operational benefits include:

• Faster heat-up than gas or ceramic, reducing idle waiting time during service
• Energy only drawn when a compatible pan is present, keeping running costs down
• Cool cooking surface reduces burn risk and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• Independent zone control supports multi-dish output from a single compact unit
• No gas supply or fixed overhead extraction required

The unit's compact footprint makes it well suited to tight pass areas, supplementary cooking stations, or kitchens where bench space is limited. Being a standalone induction unit, installation is straightforward — no gas connection is needed, and there is no requirement for fixed extraction directly overhead. That said, operators should confirm their electrical supply can comfortably support the combined 6kW draw before installation, as an inadequate supply is the most common practical obstacle with induction equipment of this type.

The GL2 6000 F suits cafés, small restaurants, prep kitchens, and catering operations where flexibility and energy efficiency are priorities. It works well as a primary hob in lower-volume sites or as an additional cooking station in larger kitchens during peak periods. For operations running sustained full-service output across multiple zones over long service periods, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

If you are weighing this unit against your service volume or want to talk through your existing electrical setup before committing, we are glad to help you think it through.

The Vollrath Professional Series single induction hob is a countertop unit designed for commercial kitchens where precise heat control and a compact footprint are practical requirements. It operates on induction rather than gas or radiant heat, meaning energy transfers directly to the pan rather than heating the surrounding surface — a relevant distinction where ambient temperature and safety are concerns.

In service, the unit offers responsive, consistent heating across a range of tasks. With 100 selectable power levels, operators can hold an exact simmer, saute, or reach a rapid boil without adjustment by feel. The front-mounted controls reduce the likelihood of accidental changes when the hob is positioned at a busy pass or live station. Recovery between tasks is prompt, and the output is appropriate for a single-zone countertop format.

From a practical standpoint, induction suits kitchens where managing ambient heat matters. There is no open flame, and the glass-ceramic surface itself does not become hot, which reduces the risk of incidental burns. The smooth surface wipes clean quickly between covers, supporting hygiene compliance without significant effort. The stainless steel casing is built to handle the daily wear of commercial kitchen use.

• Front-mounted controls minimise accidental adjustment during a busy service
• No open flame reduces ambient heat build-up in compact kitchen spaces
• Glass-ceramic surface cleans quickly, supporting hygiene between sittings
• 100 power levels allow precise heat management across varied dishes
• Lightweight countertop format allows repositioning between stations as needed

Installation is straightforward. This is a countertop unit with no gas or water connection and no fixed ventilation requirement, though reasonable airflow around the unit is advisable to support the internal cooling. It is worth confirming your available electrical supply before ordering — induction units draw a meaningful load and shared circuits may not always be suitable.

This hob is well suited to smaller operations, pop-up kitchens, and supplementary cooking stations, or as a dedicated sauce or finishing hob within a larger kitchen. It is not intended as a primary cooking range for continuous high-throughput service — for sites running at that volume, a multi-zone or higher-output unit would be a more appropriate fit.

If you are unsure whether single-zone induction suits your setup, or would like to talk through how it integrates with your existing equipment, the team is glad to help you work it out before you commit.

The Fagor 900 Series four-burner countertop gas hob is a high-output cooking platform designed for commercial kitchens where sustained heat and consistent burner performance are a daily requirement. Running on natural gas with a combined output of 28.7kW across four burners, it is built for the kind of throughput that a busy service demands — not occasional use.

Each burner uses a double crown design, which distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan than a conventional single-ring burner. In practice, this reduces the likelihood of hot spots and gives the cook more reliable temperature control across the cooking surface. With each burner independently regulated via front-mounted controls, the hob suits kitchens running several dishes simultaneously at different heat levels.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit are straightforward:

• High aggregate output supports rapid searing, wok-style cooking, and simultaneous multi-pan service
• Independent burner control helps kitchen staff manage different cooking stages without interference between stations
• Even heat distribution through the double crown burners reduces the need for constant repositioning of cookware
• Stainless steel construction throughout makes daily cleaning manageable and holds up well under heavy service conditions
• Countertop format allows flexible positioning on existing workbench runs without requiring floor space or a full suite installation

As a countertop unit, it requires a stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate clearance above and to the sides for safe operation. Natural gas connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the installation should comply with current ventilation requirements — typically a suitable extraction canopy overhead. At 61kg, two-person handling is advisable during positioning.

This hob is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens, dark kitchens, and catering operations where bench-mounted cooking flexibility is a priority. For very high-volume operations running multiple hobs continuously, a heavier-duty floor-standing range within the 900 Series may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service volume, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.

The Fagor 900 Series two-burner countertop gas hob is a high-output unit built for commercial kitchens where consistent, intense heat is a daily requirement. Running on natural gas and delivering 18.2kW across two burners, it sits within Fagor's heavy-duty 900 Series range — a line designed around the demands of professional kitchen environments rather than light or occasional use.

Each burner uses a double crown design, which distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan than a single-ring burner. In practice, this reduces the risk of hot spots during sautéing or sauce work, and gives operators more control when working at high output. The front-mounted control dials regulate each burner independently, which is the standard arrangement most chefs will be accustomed to.

For a countertop unit, the construction is reassuringly solid. The stainless steel body handles the rigours of a busy service environment and is straightforward to wipe down between covers. Key operational advantages include:

• High heat output suited to fast searing, wok-style cooking, and high-volume sauté work
• Even heat distribution from the double crown burners reduces inconsistency across the pan base
• Independent burner control allows different cooking tasks to run simultaneously at different intensities
• Countertop format offers flexibility for kitchens adding supplementary cooking capacity
• Stainless steel construction supports straightforward daily cleaning routines

As a countertop unit, it requires a stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate overhead clearance for ventilation. Connection to a natural gas supply will require installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and extraction provisions should be confirmed before installation. At 48kg, positioning should be planned in advance. This is not a unit intended for a single-section kitchen running modest covers — it is sized and specified for environments where sustained high heat output is genuinely needed.

This hob is well suited to mid-sized restaurant kitchens, hotel operations, and catering establishments where two high-power burner positions are required without the footprint of a full range. Where a kitchen needs four or six burner positions, or requires an integrated oven beneath, other configurations in the range are worth considering. Equally, lower-volume operations may find a lighter-duty unit more appropriate for their needs.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen layout and service style, the team is happy to help.

The Fagor 900 Series two-burner countertop gas hob is a heavy-duty cooking station designed for commercial kitchens where high heat output is a genuine operational requirement. Each of the two burners delivers 10.2kW, giving a combined output of 20.4kW across a compact countertop footprint. This positions it firmly in the extra-high-power bracket, suited to demanding cooking tasks such as wok cookery, rapid searing, or high-volume sauce and stock work.

In a busy kitchen environment, the ability to reach and sustain high temperatures quickly makes a measurable difference to throughput. Both burners use a double crown design that distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan, reducing the risk of hot spots and giving the chef greater control during service. Each burner is regulated independently via front-mounted controls, which keeps operation straightforward even under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages of this unit include:

• High output per burner supports rapid temperature recovery between cooking cycles
• Double crown burner design improves heat distribution and reduces uneven cooking
• Independent burner controls allow different cooking temperatures simultaneously
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean down after service
• Countertop format fits over existing prep or equipment runs without floor space commitment

Being a countertop unit, it does require a stable, heat-resistant surface and adequate clearance above for ventilation purposes. As a gas appliance, a suitable gas supply and professional installation by a Gas Safe registered engineer are both prerequisites. The unit runs on natural gas — LPG suitability should be confirmed before ordering. At 48kg, it is not a light piece of kit, so bench loading capacity is worth checking prior to installation.

This hob is well suited to mid-sized restaurant, bistro, or street food operations where two very high-power burners are sufficient for the menu. For kitchens needing more burner positions or a greater total output, a larger model from the same series or a full floor-standing range may be worth considering. Equally, for sites where this level of power exceeds what is regularly needed, a standard-output hob from the 900 Series range may be a more appropriate fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit is sized correctly for your service volume or want to talk through your gas supply requirements before committing, the team is happy to help work through it with you.

The Fagor 900 Series four-burner countertop gas hob is a heavy-duty cooking platform built around raw heat output. Each of the four burners delivers 10.2kW, giving a combined output of 40.8kW — a specification that places this firmly in the extra high power category and makes it a practical choice where rapid temperature response and sustained high heat are operational requirements rather than a preference.

In a busy kitchen environment, recovery speed matters. When cold pans hit a hot burner mid-service or stocks are brought to the boil repeatedly across a shift, a hob in this output range handles the load without the kind of heat drop that slows a pass down. The double crown burner design distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan, which reduces the risk of hot spots and supports more consistent cooking results — a practical advantage when the same burner is being used for sauces, sautéing, and rapid boiling across a single service.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the hob is straightforward to work with:

• Independent front-mounted controls give individual regulation of each burner without interrupting adjacent zones
• The stainless steel construction is durable under commercial use and cleans down efficiently between services
• Countertop format allows placement on an existing fabricated bench or sturdy equipment stand
• Natural gas operation keeps running costs predictable in kitchens already connected to mains gas
• The 900 Series build standard supports consistent performance across extended operating periods

As a countertop unit, installation requires a stable, weight-rated surface capable of supporting 61kg. The hob must be installed with appropriate clearances and connected to a natural gas supply by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement, not optional. Adequate overhead ventilation is essential given the combined output; existing canopy capacity should be reviewed before installation to confirm it is sufficient for 40.8kW of gas combustion. This unit is supplied for natural gas; LPG conversion availability should be confirmed prior to ordering if that is your supply.

This hob is well suited to mid-sized to busy commercial kitchens where throughput demands high sustained heat — restaurant ranges, hotel banqueting operations, and contract catering environments where multiple large-volume tasks run simultaneously. For smaller operations where this output level would exceed day-to-day requirements, a lower-output model may be a more appropriate fit. Equally, very high-volume sites running continuous double shifts may benefit from a floor-standing range format with additional burner capacity.

If you'd like to talk through whether this output level is the right match for your kitchen layout and service volume, our team is happy to work through it with you before you commit.

The Fagor 900 Series countertop gas hob is a four-burner natural gas unit delivering 21kW of total cooking power across independently controlled burners. It is designed to sit on an existing counter or fabricated stand, making it a practical choice where floor space is limited or where operators want to supplement an existing cooking suite without committing to a full range. The 900 Series sits within Fagor's heavier-duty commercial range, built to handle the demands of professional service rather than light-duty use.

In a busy kitchen environment, consistent heat output and burner responsiveness matter considerably. Each burner uses a double crown design that distributes heat more evenly across the base of the pan, reducing the risk of hot spots that can affect cooking quality during a fast-paced service. The independent front-mounted controls allow each burner to be set precisely, so chefs can hold sauces at a low simmer on one ring while running another at full power simultaneously — a practical requirement in most professional kitchens.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this unit include:

• High total output supports multiple cooking tasks running concurrently
• Double crown burners reduce uneven heat distribution across cookware
• Independent burner controls give precise regulation during varied service demands
• Stainless steel construction is robust under daily commercial use and straightforward to clean down
• Countertop format allows flexible positioning within an existing kitchen layout

As a countertop unit, installation requires a stable, heat-resistant surface capable of supporting the unit's 61kg weight. Natural gas connection must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and adequate ventilation or extraction above the cooking position is a requirement under commercial kitchen regulations. The unit's 800mm width means it fits comfortably within most standard kitchen configurations, though you should confirm your extraction canopy coverage before positioning.

This hob is well suited to small to medium-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, or catering units — where consistent output across four burners covers the majority of cooking requirements. For higher-volume sites running extended or multiple sittings, a larger cooking suite with additional burners or a floor-standing model may be a more appropriate long-term investment.

If you're unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen setup or service volume, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to anything.
