Product Description
The Valera AT25C is a single-zone counter top induction hob built for commercial kitchen use. Rather than heating through a conventional element or open flame, it transfers energy directly into the base of compatible cookware via electromagnetic induction. The hob surface itself stays relatively cool, and the unit works with any pan that has a ferrous base — including the 18/8 stainless steel pans common in professional kitchens.
In a working kitchen, the AT25C is well suited to stations where a responsive, self-contained heat source is needed without committing to a full range installation. Induction reacts quickly to power adjustments, which is useful when shifting between a steady simmer and a rapid boil during service. Because the surface does not heat directly, food and sauce spillages are far less likely to bake on, making end-of-service cleaning considerably more straightforward than with gas burners or conventional electric plates.
Key practical advantages in a commercial setting include:
- Near-instant response to power adjustments during busy service periods
- Cooler hob surface lowers ambient heat at the cooking station
- Flat, smooth surface wipes clean quickly with no grates or rings to remove
- No gas connection or open flame — reduces risk and simplifies siting
- Portable format allows flexible use across counters, pass areas, or prep stations
As a counter top unit, the AT25C can be positioned wherever a suitable electrical supply is available. It is worth confirming the electrical supply requirements before installation, and equally important to check that your existing cookware is induction-compatible — non-ferrous pans will not work with this or any induction unit.
The AT25C is a practical choice for smaller operations, pop-up or event catering, prep kitchens, or as a supplementary hob alongside an existing range. Sites that need continuous multi-zone induction output or higher throughput across a full service may find a larger or multi-zone unit better matched to demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The AT25C is designed for commercial use and will handle continuous operation across a standard service period. That said, as a single-zone unit it is best positioned as a supplementary or dedicated-task hob rather than the primary heat source for a high-volume kitchen. If you need to run several zones simultaneously at sustained output, a multi-zone induction unit would be worth considering.
- Connection requirements should be confirmed with the full technical specification before installation, as supply type can vary by power rating. We'd recommend checking with our team or a qualified electrician before siting the unit, particularly if you are planning a hardwired installation rather than using an existing outlet.
- Induction hobs require cookware with a ferrous — magnetically responsive — base to function. A simple test is to hold a magnet to the base of your pan; if it attracts firmly, the pan is induction-compatible. Most professional-grade stainless steel pans will work, but aluminium, copper, and some older stainless steel pans will not. If you are unsure about your current stock, it is worth reviewing this before purchasing.
