Caterlite Touch Control Double Induction Hob

The Caterlite double induction hob is a countertop unit with two independent cooking zones, touch-panel controls, and a stainless steel body with a ceramic glass cooking surface. It runs from a standard 13A socket, which means it can be positioned wherever a socket is available and moved without any rewiring or installation work.

Induction technology transfers energy directly to compatible cookware rather than heating the surrounding air, so response to temperature adjustments is immediate. In a service environment, that means less waiting between dishes and more consistent results across the cooking surface. The ten heat settings and a timer of up to 180 minutes give enough control for short-order cooking, prep work, and holding tasks.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the ceramic glass surface is quick to wipe down between covers, and because the surface itself stays cool outside the pan contact area, burnt-on food residue is less of a concern than with gas or radiant equipment. Practical advantages include:

• Immediate heat response with no warm-up period before service
• Lower ambient heat output than gas or ceramic radiant hobs
• No dedicated electrical circuit or installation work required
• Straightforward touch controls accessible to all kitchen staff
• Portable format suits mobile catering, pop-ups, and overflow stations

One point worth confirming before purchase: your cookware must be induction-compatible. Cast iron, carbon steel, and most stainless steel pans will work. Aluminium, copper, and glass will not. As a double-zone countertop unit running from a single 13A supply, this hob is best suited to lower-volume cooking rather than sustained high-throughput service. Sites running continuous multi-pan output across long service periods would likely benefit from a heavier-duty freestanding induction range with a higher combined power output.

This unit is well suited to small cafés, mobile caterers, pop-up operations, demonstration cooking, and any hospitality setting that needs flexible supplementary capacity without committing to a fixed installation.
