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.

Frequently asked questions

Does this hob need a dedicated electrical connection?

Yes — this is a hardwired unit, so it requires a suitable electrical supply installed by a qualified electrician before use. It cannot be plugged into a standard socket, so it is worth confirming your electrical provision ahead of installation.

Is this unit suitable for a busy kitchen running multiple covers?

It is well suited to lower- to mid-volume service, supplementary cooking positions, or kitchens where two simultaneous cooking tasks are the typical demand. For kitchens running consistent high throughput across several zones at once, a four-zone or higher-output induction unit would generally be more appropriate.

Will any pan work on this induction hob?

Induction hobs require cookware with a ferrous base — cast iron and most stainless steel pans are compatible, but aluminium, copper, and some hard-anodised pans are not unless they have an induction-ready base. If you are unsure about your current pan stock, a simple magnet test on the base will confirm compatibility.
