Roller Grill PID30 Dual Zone Induction Hob

The Roller Grill PID30 is a countertop dual zone induction hob designed for professional use. It features two independently controlled cooking zones, each with a full 3kW of induction power, giving operators precise, responsive heat across both zones without any compromise when running at full load. Control is handled via a 20-level digital power controller with a built-in digital timer, allowing consistent, repeatable cooking rather than guesswork. The vitroceramic glass plate is 4mm thick and protected at the front by a steel bar, adding a degree of resilience that matters in daily kitchen use.

In service, the PID30 performs reliably under continuous demand. Roller Grill rate it to run at full power for up to eight hours without thermal cutout, which is a meaningful distinction for operators planning to use it throughout a full service period rather than intermittently. Each zone functions independently, so one can be held at a low simmer while the other is running at full power — useful in smaller operations where a single piece of kit is doing multiple jobs simultaneously.

The practical advantages of this unit come down to a few things that matter in a working kitchen:

• Plug-and-go 13A operation — no hardwiring or dedicated supply needed
• Independent zone control for simultaneous tasks at different temperatures
• Precise digital power levels reduce the risk of overcooking during busy service
• Fast heat response with no residual surface heat, improving safety
• Compact footprint suits tight countertop or pass configurations

Because the PID30 operates from a standard 13A socket, it is straightforward to position and reposition without electrical installation work. This makes it particularly practical for front-of-house theatre cooking, pop-up stations, or supplementing an existing range during high-demand periods. The raised cooking zones — sitting approximately 30mm above the glass surface — allow good contact with pans and reduce the chance of heat loss during cooking.

This unit is well suited to smaller restaurants, cafés, private dining rooms, and front-of-house stations where flexibility and ease of use matter. It is also a practical option for catering businesses that need portable induction capacity without committing to hardwired equipment. Where a kitchen is running consistently high volumes across both zones for extended periods or needs more than two cooking positions, it would be worth considering a higher-output or multi-zone alternative before committing.
