Lincat IH21 Twin Zone Induction Hob | Countertop
£897.00(£1,076.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Lincat IH21 is a twin-zone countertop induction hob designed for commercial kitchen use. Unlike gas or conventional electric elements, induction generates heat directly within a compatible pan's base, leaving the cooking surface itself significantly cooler during service. Power response is immediate rather than gradual, which changes how the hob behaves during busy periods.
That immediacy matters in practice. Temperatures can be held precisely or adjusted in seconds without the lag associated with gas or ceramic surfaces — useful when managing sauces, reductions, or anything that demands close attention. The twin-zone layout allows two pans to run independently and simultaneously, extending the useful output of a compact unit without occupying additional worktop space or requiring a second appliance.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the IH21 offers several practical advantages:
- Immediate power response supports precise temperature control throughout service
- Cooler cooking surface reduces ambient kitchen heat and lowers contact burn risk
- Automatic pan detection cuts power when cookware is removed, reducing energy waste
- Smooth ceramic glass surface wipes down quickly between covers
- Plug-in design allows flexible positioning without a fixed electrical installation
Because the IH21 connects to a standard commercial outlet, no hardwired supply or specialist electrical installation is required. It is worth confirming that the available circuit is rated appropriately for the hob's power draw before settling on a permanent position. Kitchens transitioning from gas should also note that induction requires cookware with a ferrous base — aluminium and copper pans will not be compatible. The ceramic glass surface is robust under normal commercial use but should be kept clear of heavy impacts and abrasive cleaning products.
The IH21 is well suited to smaller food service operations: café kitchens, compact restaurant pass areas, pop-up and event catering, and hospitality prep environments where flexibility matters more than fixed cooking capacity. It also works well as supplementary output alongside an existing range or induction line. For sites running continuous high-volume service across multiple zones, a heavier-duty or permanently installed induction solution may be worth considering instead.
If you are weighing up whether induction suits your current cookware, available power supply, or service workflow, we are glad to talk it through before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Does the IH21 require a dedicated electrical circuit or specialist installation?
The IH21 is designed to connect to a standard commercial outlet, so no hardwired installation or specialist electrical work is required. That said, it is worth confirming your available circuit is rated to handle the hob's power draw before finalising its position, particularly if other high-draw appliances share the same supply.
Will my existing pans work with an induction hob?
Induction cooking requires cookware with a ferrous base — cast iron and most stainless steel pans are typically compatible, while aluminium and copper pans are not. A simple way to check is whether a magnet adheres firmly to the base of the pan. Kitchens moving from gas should audit their existing cookware before ordering.
Is the IH21 suitable for continuous high-volume service?
The IH21 is well suited to smaller operations, pass areas, and supplementary cooking output rather than continuous high-volume production across multiple zones. For kitchens running sustained heavy service, a heavier-duty or permanently installed induction unit would generally be a more appropriate choice.
