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.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen and service volumes, we are happy to help before you place an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this hob suitable for continuous service in a busy kitchen?

As a single 13A countertop unit, it is best matched to lower-volume operations — small cafés, prep areas, or supplementary stations rather than a primary cooking line under sustained high demand. For sites running extended service periods across multiple pans simultaneously, a heavier-duty freestanding induction range with a higher combined power output would generally be a more practical fit.

Does it need any special electrical installation?

No. The unit runs from a standard 13A socket, so no dedicated circuit, hard wiring, or electrician's sign-off is required. That makes it straightforward to position within an existing kitchen layout or to move between sites as needed.

How do I know if my existing pans will work with this hob?

Induction cooking requires ferromagnetic cookware — cast iron, carbon steel, and most stainless steel pans are compatible. Aluminium, copper, and glass pans will not work. A simple test is to hold a magnet to the base of the pan; if it attracts firmly, the pan should be compatible. It is worth checking your existing batterie before purchasing if you are unsure.
