Lincat Opus 800 OE8008 Six-Plate Electric Range Cooker

The Lincat Opus 800 OE8008 is a six-plate electric range cooker from Lincat's Opus 800 series. It combines a full six-zone hob with a fan-assisted double-door oven in a single unit, designed to handle both hob and oven demand running simultaneously through a busy service. The 800mm depth aligns with the practical standard found across most professional cooking suites, which makes it straightforward to integrate into an existing or planned kitchen line.

On the hob, each of the six plates offers thermostatic control across a broad temperature range, giving chefs consistent output whether holding sauces at low heat or pushing output during peak covers. The full-depth dished hob surface keeps spills contained and simplifies cleaning between sittings. The fan-assisted oven circulates heat evenly across all shelf positions, which reduces the uneven results that commonly occur when an oven is fully loaded with GN trays during batch cooking, finishing, or reheating alongside active hob use.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the OE8008 offers a number of practical advantages:

• Fan-assisted oven delivers consistent heat distribution when cooking at full capacity
• Vitreous enamelled oven liners and removable panels reduce cleaning time between services
• Dished hob surface contains spills and simplifies daily cleaning routines
• Side-opening oven doors allow safer access in tighter kitchen layouts
• Heavy-duty castors allow repositioning and easier cleaning access behind the unit

As an electric range, the OE8008 requires a three-phase electrical supply — not a standard single-phase connection — and installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician experienced with commercial kitchen fit-outs. The 800mm depth suits a well-planned cooking line, but it is worth confirming clearances to adjacent equipment and walls before ordering, particularly in refits where the existing suite was built around shallower 700mm-depth equipment. Extraction above the unit is essential and should be sized to handle the combined output of the hob and oven under full load.

The OE8008 is well suited to independent restaurants, gastro pubs, and catering operations running moderate to high covers where a reliable all-electric cooking suite is preferred. It sits within a broader range of configurations, so if your service volume is particularly demanding or your menu requires heavier continuous use, a higher-output model may be worth considering. Equally, if your kitchen runs lower volumes, a smaller footprint unit may offer better value in day-to-day running costs.
