Rather than a flat induction surface, it features a dished cooking zone that cradles a wok correctly, allowing proper contact between the base of the wok and the induction field. It operates on a three-phase power supply and is compatible with all cookware carrying a ferrous content, including 18\/8 stainless steel woks commonly used in professional kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a busy service environment, the speed advantage of induction becomes particularly apparent with wok cookery. Because heat transfers directly to the pan rather than the surrounding air, temperature response is near-instant — useful when cooking in batches at pace or managing multiple orders simultaneously. There is no residual heat around the cooking zone, which also makes the working environment more comfortable and reduces kitchen cooling load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the ABW50A offers several practical advantages over gas wok burners:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo open flame — lower fire risk and easier compliance with ventilation requirements in some premises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise control via rotary dial — straightforward for kitchen staff to operate consistently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDished surface retains the wok in position during vigorous cooking movements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth, flat surround makes cleaning between services quick and straightforward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInduction efficiency means less wasted energy compared to gas or solid-top alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit runs on a three-phase supply, so existing electrical infrastructure should be checked before installation. If three-phase power is not already in place, the installation cost should be factored into the overall budget. The dished format also means it is purpose-built for wok use — it is not a general-purpose flat induction hob and is best specified alongside standard induction zones if a broader cooking range is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ABW50A is well suited to Chinese, Asian fusion, and pan-Asian kitchens where wok cookery is central to the menu. It works equally well as a dedicated wok station within a larger kitchen setup. For operations with very high wok-cooking volumes or those needing multiple wok zones, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or multi-zone configuration would better match the throughput required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether this unit fits your kitchen's power supply or workflow, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36577301072,"sku":"ABW50A","price":560.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/Valera_CBW50A_Induction_Hob_and_Wok.jpg?v=1580239393"},{"product_id":"valera-cb70b-heavy-duty-drop-in-induction-hob","title":"Valera CB70B Heavy Duty Drop In Induction Hob","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Valera unit is safe to use, efficient, energy saving, hygienic and very easy to clean.\u003cbr\u003eWith fast, easy to use rotary controls give you near instant control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for all cookware with a ferrous content including 18\/8 stainless steel.\u003cbr\u003e2 x 3.5Kw.\u003cbr\u003eWarranty - 3 years parts and labour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnparalleled in their energy efficiency and rate of cooking, a commercial induction hob offers a faster, safer, cleaner way to cook.
