Induction Hobs

The Roller Grill PIC25 is a single-zone induction hob built around precision temperature control, with a particular focus on chocolate, caramel, sugar work, and delicate sauce preparation. Where a general-purpose induction hob offers broad power increments, the PIC25 includes three dedicated chocolate settings calibrated within a very close temperature band — the kind of consistency that working with chocolate demands. Beyond those settings, a 20-level digital power controller covers a wider range of cooking tasks, and a built-in digital timer supports timed processes and reduces the need for close supervision.

In practice, the unit delivers responsive, even heat across the induction zone and is rated for extended continuous service without thermal cutout — useful during long prep sessions or sustained service periods. The raised induction surface allows pans to be worked and stirred freely without losing contact with the heat field. The toughened vitro-ceramic glass plate is robust enough for daily professional use and cleans down quickly between tasks.

Key practical advantages include:

• Three close-calibrated chocolate settings for repeatable, precise temperature control
• 20-level digital power control for broader cooking tasks beyond confectionery
• Digital timer to support timed processes and reduce hands-on supervision
• Plug-and-use operation from a standard 13-amp socket — no electrical installation required
• Smooth glass surface that cleans quickly between uses

Because the PIC25 runs from a standard 13-amp socket, it can be placed on a counter, pass, or front-of-house station without any fixed electrical work, and it is light enough to be moved between stations as needed. It is worth noting that this is a single-zone unit — kitchens requiring simultaneous multi-pan induction capacity would be better served by a multi-zone model.

The PIC25 is well suited to patisserie sections, dedicated chocolate workstations, and front-of-house theatre cooking where controlled, visible temperature management matters. It also works reliably as a supplementary hob for sauce work or holding preparations at a stable temperature during service. For operations with heavier or continuous induction demands across multiple pans, a higher-output model from the range may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether the PIC25 fits your specific application before placing an order, the team is happy to help.

The Blue Seal Evolution IN512R5-LS is a compact, freestanding twin-zone induction cooktop built for commercial use. It features two independently controlled round induction zones set into a ceramic glass surface, each adjusted via a rotary knob with infinitely variable power settings. The integrated leg stand brings the unit to a practical working height, allowing it to operate as a standalone cooking station without requiring a built-in counter or bench cut-out.

Induction works by transferring heat directly into the pan base rather than heating the surface around it, which gives operators fast response and precise control. In service, that means you can hold a consistent simmer on one zone while bringing a pan to a full rolling boil on the other, with none of the thermal lag you get from gas or conventional electric. When a pan is lifted, automatic detection cuts power to that zone immediately — useful both for safety and for keeping energy consumption in check during a busy service.

From a practical standpoint, the format offers several day-to-day advantages:

• Fast heat response helps reduce turnaround time between courses
• Cool surrounding surface lowers ambient kitchen temperature compared to gas
• Automatic pan detection improves safety and reduces unnecessary energy draw
• Ceramic glass surface is quick to wipe down at the end of service
• Independent zone controls let two pans run at entirely different heat levels simultaneously

Being an induction unit, this cooktop requires ferrous-based cookware — cast iron and most stainless steel pans are compatible, but aluminium and copper pans without an induction base will not work. It runs on a single-phase supply, so it is worth checking your available circuit capacity before installation. The leg stand removes the need for any counter modification, though you should allow adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and safe operation. The 450mm footprint makes it a practical fit where space is limited.

This model is well suited to small restaurants, cafés, private dining kitchens, and catering operations where two induction zones comfortably cover the required output. It also works well as a supplementary station alongside a main cooking suite — useful for sauce work, finishing, or keeping a prep area self-sufficient. For operations running consistently higher volumes or needing greater simultaneous capacity, a larger multi-zone induction unit would be worth considering. If bench mounting suits your layout better, a countertop variant may be a more appropriate choice.

The Blue Seal Evolution IN512F-B is a bench-mounted induction cooktop with two independently controlled full-area zones across a 450mm footprint. It is designed for professional kitchen use and suits operators who need reliable, controllable heat output without the infrastructure demands of a gas installation. The cooking surface is a ceramic glass panel — robust under daily commercial use and straightforward to keep clean.

Induction operates differently from gas or solid-top cooking, and understanding that distinction matters before specifying it. Heat transfer is direct — energy goes into the pan rather than the surrounding air — which means the cooking environment stays noticeably cooler and heat response is near-immediate. For brigade members working in close quarters, and for kitchens where ventilation is restricted, this is a genuine operational advantage rather than a feature on paper. Both zones offer continuously variable power via rotary controls, giving chefs precise heat management rather than jumping between fixed settings.

Automatic pan detection is worth noting from both an efficiency and safety perspective. Each zone deactivates when the pan is removed, reducing energy waste during a busy service and removing the risk of an unattended active surface. Indicator lights keep the operator informed at a glance.

• Two full-area induction zones with independent, infinitely variable power control
• Automatic pan detection deactivates each zone when cookware is lifted
• Cool cooking surface lowers burns risk and simplifies end-of-service cleaning
• No gas connection required — electrical supply only
• Compact bench footprint suits tight pass or prep stations

Installation is simpler than gas in most respects — there is no flue, no gas supply to route, and no combustion ventilation requirement. That said, the electrical supply must be correctly specified before the unit arrives on site. A dedicated circuit with appropriate amperage will be needed, and this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician ahead of delivery. One practical consideration that applies to all induction equipment: cookware must be ferrous or otherwise induction-compatible throughout. Existing aluminium or copper pans will not work and may need replacing.

This cooktop is well suited to smaller restaurants, café kitchens, hotel serveries, and operators introducing induction cooking without committing to a full suite. It is also a sensible option for sites where gas is unavailable or where ventilation constraints limit what can be installed. For kitchens running continuous high-volume service across multiple cooking positions, a larger multi-zone unit would be worth considering instead.

If you are weighing up whether induction is the right fit for your kitchen, or want to confirm the electrical requirements before committing, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Valera ABW50A is a single-zone commercial induction hob designed specifically for wok cookery. Unlike a flat induction surface, it features a dished cooking zone that cradles a wok at the correct angle, maintaining consistent contact between the pan base and the induction field. It is compatible with ferrous cookware, including the 18/8 stainless steel woks commonly used in professional Asian kitchens.

In a busy service environment, the speed advantage of induction is particularly apparent with wok cooking. Heat transfers directly into the pan rather than the surrounding air, giving near-instant temperature response — something that makes a meaningful difference when cooking in rapid succession or managing a run of simultaneous orders. The absence of residual heat around the cooking zone also makes the immediate work area more comfortable and reduces the demand on kitchen ventilation.

From a practical standpoint, the ABW50A offers several operational advantages over a gas wok burner:

• No open flame, which reduces fire risk and can simplify ventilation compliance in certain premises
• Rotary dial control is straightforward to operate consistently under service pressure
• Dished surface holds the wok securely during vigorous cooking movements
• Smooth surround cleans down quickly between services
• Induction efficiency reduces energy waste compared with gas or solid-top alternatives

The unit requires a three-phase power supply. If three-phase is not already present in the kitchen, the cost and disruption of installing it should be factored into the project budget before ordering. It is also worth noting that the dished format is purpose-built for wok use — this is not a general-purpose flat induction zone, and kitchens needing broader cooking flexibility will typically specify it alongside standard induction hobs rather than as a standalone solution.

The ABW50A is well suited to Chinese, Asian fusion, and pan-Asian operations where wok cookery sits at the centre of the menu. It also works effectively as a dedicated wok station within a larger mixed-cooking setup. For sites with particularly high wok volumes or where multiple wok zones need to run simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a higher-output or multi-zone configuration would better match the throughput required.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen's power supply, layout, or service volume, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit.

The Blue Seal Evolution IN512R3-LS is a compact twin-zone induction cooktop mounted on a leg stand, intended for commercial kitchens where bench space is tight or a freestanding supplementary cooking position is needed. Rather than heating through a flame or radiant element, induction generates heat directly within the pan itself, which means the cooking surface responds quickly to power changes and the area surrounding the pan stays relatively cool during service.

In practice, induction suits tasks that benefit from precise, controllable heat — sauce work, reductions, finishing, and holding. Each of the two zones has its own infinitely variable control, allowing two separate cooking tasks to run independently at the same time. Automatic pan detection cuts the field when a pan is lifted, so there is no energy draw from an unattended active zone and no risk of a live surface going unnoticed during a busy service.

Key operational advantages of this unit include:

• Rapid response to power adjustments, useful for delicate saucing and reduction work
• Cool surface around the active zone reduces burn risk during service
• Automatic pan detection eliminates energy waste when zones are unattended
• Leg stand configuration frees bench space and suits pass or satellite cooking positions
• Smooth ceramic glass surface cleans down quickly at the end of service

The unit runs on a single-phase electrical supply. Because there is no combustion involved, ventilation requirements can be simpler than gas, though extraction above the cooking position remains advisable. The 450mm footprint is genuinely narrow, which helps in tight layouts, but it is worth confirming that your electrical supply is adequate and that the floor beneath will support the unit safely.

This cooktop is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, hotel kitchens, and similar operations that need a reliable induction position for sauce work or finishing alongside a main cooking suite. It is not designed to carry the full cooking load of a high-volume operation. Where more zones or higher throughput are needed, there are larger induction options in the range worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this fits your layout, power supply, or service pattern, the team is glad to help before you make a decision.

The Blue Seal Evolution IN514R3-B is a 900mm bench-mounted induction cooktop with four independent cooking zones set into a ceramic glass surface. Unlike gas or conventional electric, induction generates heat directly within the pan itself — the surface remains comparatively cool outside the active zone, and each zone responds almost immediately to adjustments. There are no elements to burn off residue and no open flame to manage.

In service, the responsiveness of induction makes a meaningful difference during à la carte or multi-course covers, where each zone may be running at a different temperature simultaneously. Recovery between dishes is fast, and the automatic pan detection — which cuts each zone as soon as cookware is lifted — means energy is not being consumed between plating or during the natural interruptions of a busy pass. Over a full shift, that adds up.

The practical case for induction over gas or conventional electric is worth considering in detail:

• No open flame reduces ventilation load and can ease extract system requirements
• Ceramic glass surface wipes clean quickly between covers or at end of service
• Individual zone controls allow precise, simultaneous management of multiple dishes
• Automatic pan detection limits energy draw during interrupted service periods
• Bench-mount format integrates cleanly into existing counter runs or island layouts

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply — this is not a single-phase unit, and your electrical contractor should confirm the circuit specification before fitting is arranged. As a bench model it sits on a counter surface rather than being recessed or dropped in, so structural support and clearance from adjacent equipment should be confirmed at the planning stage.

This unit is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations where controlled, responsive heat across multiple zones is essential and where gas is either unavailable or less practical. It is particularly relevant where extract capacity is limited and reducing thermal output at the cooking surface is a priority. For higher-volume operations that need additional zones or a floor-standing configuration, heavier-duty options in the range are worth exploring.

If you have questions about whether this unit is the right fit for your electrical supply, kitchen layout, or service style, we are glad to talk it through before you order.

The Valera AT50A is a single-zone counter top induction hob designed for commercial use. Rather than heating a surface element, it generates heat directly within the base of compatible cookware, which means energy goes where it is needed and the hob surface itself stays relatively cool throughout service. It works with any pot or pan that has a ferrous base — stainless steel and cast iron being the most common in commercial batterie de cuisine — so it is worth confirming your existing cookware is compatible before purchasing.

In a working kitchen, the practical value of induction is in its response. Heat adjusts near-instantly, which matters during service when you need to move quickly between a rolling boil and a controlled simmer without losing time. The rotary controls are straightforward to operate under pressure and require no particular training for kitchen staff. Because there is no retained surface heat and no combustion residue, cleaning at the end of service is considerably faster than with gas or solid-top electric alternatives.

• Near-instant heat response for precise control throughout service
• Cool hob surface reduces burn risk and speeds up end-of-service clean-down
• Compact counter top footprint suits tight layouts and supplementary stations
• No open flame means no combustion-specific ventilation requirement for the hob itself
• Compatible with standard ferrous cookware found in most commercial kitchens

As a single-zone unit, the AT50A is well suited to smaller operations, front-of-house live cooking positions, supplementary prep stations, or as additional capacity during peak periods. It runs on a three-phase power supply, so confirming your electrical infrastructure can accommodate this before proceeding is important — worth raising with your electrician at the planning stage. For higher-volume sites requiring continuous multi-zone output, a heavier-duty or multi-zone unit is likely the better fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right match for your kitchen layout and service demands, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Roller Grill PID30 is a countertop induction hob with two independently controlled cooking zones. Each zone operates entirely separately, so one can hold a sauce at a steady simmer while the other runs at full power — a practical arrangement for smaller operations where a single piece of equipment needs to cover more than one task at a time. Heat is managed through a 20-level digital power selector with an integrated timer, which supports consistent, repeatable cooking and reduces reliance on operator judgement during a busy service.

The unit is designed to run at full load continuously for up to eight hours without thermal cutout, which matters to operators planning to use it across a full lunch and dinner service rather than in short bursts. Induction responds quickly and cuts off cleanly when a pan is lifted, improving both cooking consistency and surface safety compared with radiant or gas alternatives.

Practical advantages in a working kitchen include:

• Standard 13A plug-and-go operation — no hardwiring or dedicated electrical supply required
• Independent zone control for simultaneous tasks at different heat levels
• Digital power steps reduce the risk of overcooking during busy service
• No residual surface heat once a pan is removed, improving safety at the pass
• Compact footprint suits tight countertop, pass, and front-of-house layouts

Because the PID30 draws from a standard 13A socket, it can be positioned and repositioned without any electrical installation work. This makes it well suited to front-of-house theatre cooking, pop-up stations, private dining rooms, and supplementary capacity during peak periods. The vitroceramic glass surface is reinforced with a front steel bar, which adds useful resilience for day-to-day kitchen handling.

The PID30 is a sensible choice for cafés, smaller restaurants, private dining operations, and mobile or event catering setups that need reliable induction capacity without a fixed installation. It is less well suited to high-volume kitchens requiring sustained output across several zones simultaneously — in those situations, a higher-output or multi-zone unit is worth considering before committing.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your service pattern or how its capacity matches your menu requirements, we are happy to help.

The Blue Seal Evolution IN511F-B is a 450mm bench-mounted induction cooktop with a single full-area induction zone. Rather than heating through a conventional element or gas burner, induction generates heat directly within compatible cookware via an electromagnetic field. The 6mm ceramic glass surface remains relatively cool outside the pan contact area, and the zone cuts out automatically when a pan is removed — a straightforward safety and energy-saving behaviour that suits busy kitchen environments.

In service, induction responds immediately to control input, which makes it well suited to precision tasks: holding a beurre blanc at a low simmer, reducing a jus at full power, or adjusting quickly between the two. The infinitely variable control knob gives operators finer adjustment than stepped-setting alternatives, which matters when the difference between a correct and a spoiled sauce is a few degrees. Recovery after load changes is near-instant, helping maintain consistency through a full service period without the lag associated with ceramic or solid-top units.

From a practical standpoint, the unit offers several operational advantages over gas or radiant-electric cooking:

• No open flame or radiant heat, reducing ambient temperature at the cooking position
• Ceramic glass surface wipes down quickly between services
• Automatic pan detection limits energy draw when the zone is unattended
• Indicator lights confirm zone status and pan compatibility at a glance
• Compact 450mm footprint suits tight bench configurations or supplementary stations

Installation is straightforward relative to gas. The unit is hardwired and requires connection by a qualified electrician; there are no gas lines, flue requirements, or ventilation mandates specific to the cooktop itself. It sits on the bench surface rather than dropping into a cut-out, so placement is flexible. One practical point worth confirming before ordering: cookware must be induction-compatible. Standard aluminium pans without a magnetic base will not work on this unit.

This cooktop is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, prep and finishing stations, serveries, demonstration kitchens, and venues where a gas supply is impractical or undesirable. It also works effectively as a supplementary cooking position in larger operations. Sites running high-volume continuous cooking across multiple positions may find a multi-zone or heavier-duty configuration more appropriate — it is worth a conversation if you are unsure which route fits your workflow.

Our team is familiar with how units like this perform across a range of kitchen types, and are happy to talk through whether this is the right fit for your setup before you make a decision.

The Blue Seal Evolution IN511R5-LS is a single-zone induction cooktop built for commercial use. A single round induction zone sits within a 6mm ceramic glass surface, and the unit is supplied on a fabricated leg stand that brings it to a practical working height without requiring a bench. A single rotary knob provides continuously variable power output, keeping operation straightforward for any member of the kitchen team.

Induction transfers energy directly into the base of the pan rather than heating the surrounding surface. In practice this means heat response is immediate, temperature adjustment is precise, and the working environment stays noticeably cooler than with gas or solid-top cooking. Automatic pan detection cuts the zone as soon as a pan is lifted, which limits energy waste and reduces the risk of accidental burns to the surface during a busy service.

From an operational standpoint the unit offers several meaningful advantages:

• Rapid, precise heat response supports consistent results throughout service
• Cool ceramic surface simplifies cleaning and reduces burn risk for kitchen staff
• Automatic pan detection reduces running costs between uses
• Leg stand provides a freestanding cooking position where bench space is limited
• Single rotary control keeps operation simple with no training overhead

Being an electric induction unit, it requires a suitable dedicated electrical supply and appropriate circuit protection — your installer or electrician should confirm the supply requirements before fitting. Induction also relies on magnetic coupling, so only ferrous or induction-compatible cookware will work. Cast iron, most stainless steel, and the majority of professional pans are compatible; copper, aluminium, and non-magnetic bases are not. The leg stand configuration suits flexible or temporary placement, though access beneath the unit for cleaning is worth factoring into where it is positioned.

The IN511R5-LS is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, hotel suites, smaller restaurant kitchens, and private dining or function spaces — where a single high-output induction zone covers the cooking requirement without the footprint of a larger range. For sites running higher volumes across multiple cooking positions simultaneously, a multi-zone or larger-format induction unit would be a more appropriate consideration.

If you would like to talk through whether a single-zone unit fits your service pattern, or have questions about cookware compatibility and installation, the team is here to help before you make a decision.
