Product Description
The Falcon Dominator Plus E3101 is an electric commercial range built around three full-depth cast iron solid-top hotplates and a fan-assisted oven. It forms part of Falcon's long-established Dominator Plus series, which has been a consistent choice in professional UK kitchens for many years. As a single self-contained unit, it provides both hob and oven cooking capacity without requiring a gas supply — a practical consideration for sites where gas is unavailable or where an all-electric cooking station is preferred.
Cast iron solid-top hotplates distribute heat evenly across the full surface rather than concentrating it around discrete burner zones. This allows pans to be repositioned between hotter and cooler areas of the plate during service, which suits the kind of multi-task cooking common in busy kitchens — sautéing, reducing, simmering, and holding can all take place across the same surface simultaneously. Three hotplates give a meaningful working area without demanding the footprint of a wider range. The fan-assisted oven circulates heat evenly across multiple shelf positions, which supports consistent results when cooking batches across several trays.
From an operational standpoint, the E3101 covers a broad range of kitchen tasks from one unit:
- Solid-top hotplates allow simultaneous cooking at different heat levels across the surface
- Fan-assisted oven delivers even heat distribution for consistent results across multiple trays
- Five shelf positions accommodate different tray depths and menu requirements
- All-electric operation suits sites without a gas supply or with restricted gas capacity
- 2/1 GN oven compatibility integrates with standard commercial kitchenware
The E3101 requires a three-phase electrical supply and must be installed by a qualified electrician with appropriate circuit protection in place. It is not a standard single-phase connection. Like all commercial ranges, it should be positioned beneath an appropriately rated extraction canopy, with adequate clearance maintained around the unit to satisfy ventilation and fire safety requirements. The equipment is substantial, so it is worth confirming available floor space and load-bearing capacity before ordering.
This model is well suited to hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, independent restaurants, and staff canteens producing a varied menu across both hob and oven. It is a practical choice for mid-sized operations where reliability and cooking flexibility matter more than sheer volume. Very high-output kitchens running multiple simultaneous services may find it worth considering a wider or more heavily specified range to match their throughput demands.
If you would like to talk through whether this model fits your kitchen's layout, volume, and electrical setup, our team is happy to work through the detail with you before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The E3101 requires a three-phase electrical supply and cannot be run on a standard single-phase connection. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician who can confirm that the available supply, cable rating, and circuit protection all meet the unit's requirements before commissioning.
- The E3101 is well matched to mid-sized operations such as hotel kitchens, pub restaurants, and independent restaurants with a varied menu. For very high-volume sites running continuous service across a large brigade, it is worth discussing whether a wider or more heavily specified range would better meet the throughput demand — our team can help assess that based on your service pattern.
- Yes — a cast iron solid-top hotplate provides a continuous heated surface rather than discrete heat zones, which allows pans to be moved between hotter central areas and cooler edges during service. This suits multi-task cooking and precise temperature management, though solid tops take longer to heat up from cold and respond more slowly to adjustment than gas or induction, so they tend to reward operators who plan their mise en place accordingly.
