Roller Grill PID700 Dual Zone Induction Hob

The Roller Grill PID700 is a dual zone induction hob designed for professional use. It runs two independent cooking zones, each with its own digital power control, allowing the operator to manage two separate cooking tasks simultaneously without either zone affecting the other. The unit connects to a standard 13A supply, removing the need for dedicated electrical installation.

In service, the PID700 holds up well during sustained periods of use. The 20-level power control on each zone gives cooks the precision to move between delicate sauce work and rapid boiling without overadjusting, and because induction heats the pan directly, the response when increasing or reducing power is immediate rather than gradual. Recovery after introducing cold product to a pan is prompt, and residual heat drift when power is reduced is minimal — both useful qualities during a busy service.

From a practical standpoint, this hob suits a number of operational settings:

• Front-of-house theatre cooking where a clean, compact unit is required
• Supplementary cooking capacity during peak service periods
• Stations where gas is unavailable or not permitted
• Kitchens with limited extraction, as induction produces significantly less ambient heat than gas or radiant electric

The vitro-ceramic glass plate is robust enough for regular commercial use, and the raised front edge provides a practical degree of pan retention. The unit is light and compact enough to be repositioned between services, which gives it a flexibility that fixed range equipment cannot offer.

The 13A connection is worth thinking through carefully before purchasing. It removes the need for hardwiring and gives genuine placement flexibility, but it draws from a single socket circuit — so it is worth checking the electrical load in your kitchen before committing. The PID700 is well suited to smaller operations, supplementary use, and event or pop-up catering. Kitchens running continuous high-output cooking across multiple zones may find a heavier-duty configuration more appropriate.
