The Fagor W-I905 is a countertop induction wok hob from the 900 Series range, designed to deliver focused, high-powered heat directly to a commercial wok. Unlike conventional gas or solid-top electric hobs, induction transfers energy directly to the cookware itself, which means faster heat-up, more responsive control, and very little wasted energy into the surrounding environment. The front-mounted dial controls keep operation straightforward, which matters in a fast-moving kitchen where staff need to make adjustments quickly and without confusion.

In practice, induction wok hobs like this are well suited to kitchens producing stir-fry dishes, noodle-based menus, or any high-heat wok cookery where temperature responsiveness is important. The 5kW output supports the kind of rapid, intense heat that wok cooking demands, and because induction reacts almost immediately to dial adjustments, there is genuine control over the cooking process rather than simply managing residual heat. Recovery between batches is quick, which helps maintain pace during busy service periods.

From an operational standpoint, induction offers several practical advantages over gas in particular:

  • No naked flame means a lower fire risk and a safer working environment
  • The ceramic glass surface stays relatively cool outside the cookware contact area, reducing burn risk
  • Cleaning is straightforward — spills do not bake onto a hot element or burner grate
  • No combustion means no requirement for gas supply or the associated gas safety infrastructure
  • Energy is directed into the pan rather than lost to the atmosphere, reducing running costs over time

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, so this is an important consideration before purchasing. The unit is a countertop model and sits within a 400mm wide footprint, making it practical for kitchens with limited run space, though at 40kg it will need a sturdy, well-rated surface or stand beneath it. Compatibility with the Fagor 900 Series equipment stands makes it straightforward to integrate into an existing Fagor 900 line-up. It is worth confirming your electrical infrastructure is suitable before ordering.

This hob is best suited to professional kitchens with a dedicated wok section — Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurants, noodle bars, and similar operations where wok cookery is a core part of the menu. It works well as a compact, self-contained station. For kitchens running multiple wok positions simultaneously or at very high volume, a multi-burner induction suite or higher-output arrangement may be a more practical solution.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your setup — particularly around electrical supply or how it fits alongside other equipment — our team is happy to help you work through the details before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What electrical supply does the Fagor W-I905 require?

The W-I905 runs on a three-phase electrical supply, which is standard in most commercial kitchen installations but worth confirming before purchase. If your site is single-phase only, this unit will not be compatible, and you would need to explore alternative induction options suited to that supply type. We would always recommend having your electrician verify the available supply and load capacity before ordering.

What type of wok is compatible with an induction hob?

Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base to function — cast iron and most carbon steel woks are typically compatible, and these are the materials most commonly used in professional wok cookery anyway. Aluminium or copper woks without a magnetic base layer will not work on an induction surface. If you are unsure about your existing wok stock, a simple magnet test will confirm suitability.

Is a single induction wok hob sufficient for a busy service, or should we consider multiple units?

A single W-I905 works well as a dedicated wok station for kitchens where wok dishes form part of a broader menu — for example, a restaurant offering a selection of stir-fry or noodle dishes alongside other items. For operations where wok cookery is the primary output across high cover volumes, running multiple units or a purpose-built multi-position induction wok suite is likely to be a more practical approach. It is worth mapping out your expected throughput during peak service before deciding on the number of stations required.
