The Valera CT70A is a twin zone countertop induction hob designed for commercial kitchen use. It sits directly on a work surface and provides two independently controlled cooking zones in a compact footprint, requiring no fixed installation beyond a suitable electrical supply. Heat is generated directly within the pan via induction rather than through an open flame or radiant element, which has meaningful practical implications during service.

In a busy kitchen environment, the near-instant heat response gives chefs reliable control over temperature-sensitive dishes — adjustments made at the control translate to the pan almost immediately. Because only the cookware heats up, the surrounding surface stays relatively cool, which reduces the risk of accidental burns and makes the unit safer to work around at pace. Recovery between dishes is quick, helping to sustain throughput when covers are back to back.

The practical advantages for day-to-day service include:

  • Independent zone controls allow two cooking tasks to run simultaneously at different temperatures
  • No open flame means improved air quality and lower extraction demands compared with gas
  • Smooth, flat surface simplifies cleaning between services and at close-down
  • Energy directed into the pan rather than the surrounding air supports more efficient running costs
  • Straightforward rotary controls are easy to operate without specialist training

As a countertop unit, the CT70A suits kitchens where flexibility matters — it can be positioned where it is needed and repositioned if workflows change. It requires cookware with a ferrous base, such as cast iron or 18/8 stainless steel. Aluminium or copper pans without a magnetic base will not function on induction, so it is worth confirming your existing pan stock is compatible before the unit arrives. You should also verify that your available circuit has adequate capacity to support both zones running simultaneously.

The CT70A is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, pop-up operations, catering vans, event catering, and as supplementary hob capacity in larger kitchens where additional cooking space is needed without committing to a fixed range. For high-volume sites running sustained back-to-back service across a large number of covers, a heavier-duty or multi-zone induction solution may be a more appropriate fit.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right match for your service volume and kitchen setup, the team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CT70A suitable for a high-volume restaurant running multiple sittings?

The CT70A works well as a supplementary unit or in lower-volume operations, but sites running sustained back-to-back service across a large number of covers would typically benefit from a heavier-duty or multi-zone induction solution with greater output capacity. If you are unsure where your service volume sits, it is worth speaking with the team before ordering.

What electrical supply does the CT70A require?

The unit connects to a standard electrical supply and requires no fixed installation beyond a suitable outlet, but you should confirm that the available circuit has sufficient capacity to support both zones operating simultaneously at full load. If you are adding this unit to an already well-loaded kitchen circuit, it is worth having an electrician check capacity first.

Do I need to replace my existing pans to use an induction hob?

Induction only works with cookware that has a ferrous, magnetically responsive base — cast iron and most 18/8 stainless steel pans are typically compatible. Aluminium, copper, and some older stainless pans without a magnetic base will not work. A simple test is to check whether a magnet holds firmly to the base of the pan; if it does, the pan will function on induction.
