Valera
Valera AT50A Single Zone Counter Top Induction Hob
£1,898.00(£2,277.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Valera AT50A is a single-zone counter top induction hob designed for commercial use. Rather than heating a surface element, it generates heat directly within the base of compatible cookware, which means energy goes where it is needed and the hob surface itself stays relatively cool throughout service. It works with any pot or pan that has a ferrous base — stainless steel and cast iron being the most common in commercial batterie de cuisine — so it is worth confirming your existing cookware is compatible before purchasing.
In a working kitchen, the practical value of induction is in its response. Heat adjusts near-instantly, which matters during service when you need to move quickly between a rolling boil and a controlled simmer without losing time. The rotary controls are straightforward to operate under pressure and require no particular training for kitchen staff. Because there is no retained surface heat and no combustion residue, cleaning at the end of service is considerably faster than with gas or solid-top electric alternatives.
- Near-instant heat response for precise control throughout service
- Cool hob surface reduces burn risk and speeds up end-of-service clean-down
- Compact counter top footprint suits tight layouts and supplementary stations
- No open flame means no combustion-specific ventilation requirement for the hob itself
- Compatible with standard ferrous cookware found in most commercial kitchens
As a single-zone unit, the AT50A is well suited to smaller operations, front-of-house live cooking positions, supplementary prep stations, or as additional capacity during peak periods. It runs on a three-phase power supply, so confirming your electrical infrastructure can accommodate this before proceeding is important — worth raising with your electrician at the planning stage. For higher-volume sites requiring continuous multi-zone output, a heavier-duty or multi-zone unit is likely the better fit.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right match for your kitchen layout and service demands, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Valera AT50A suitable for use as a primary cooking hob in a busy kitchen?
As a single-zone unit, the AT50A is better suited to supplementary cooking positions, smaller operations, or front-of-house stations than as a primary hob in a high-throughput kitchen. Sites needing continuous multi-zone output would typically be better served by a heavier-duty or multi-zone induction unit.
What electrical supply does the AT50A require, and is it easy to install?
The AT50A runs on a three-phase power supply, which is not always available in every kitchen — particularly in smaller or older premises. Before purchasing, it is worth confirming with a qualified electrician that your site has the appropriate supply and that the connection point can be positioned conveniently for the intended installation location.
Does induction cooking require us to replace our existing cookware?
Induction hobs only work with cookware that has a ferrous base, meaning the base must be magnetic. Stainless steel and cast iron pans — both common in commercial kitchens — are generally compatible, but some aluminium or copper pans are not. It is worth running a quick magnet test on your existing batterie de cuisine before committing to the unit.
