Frequently Asked Questions
A commercial induction hob provides fast, responsive cooking without an open flame, making it a practical choice for many professional kitchens. Our range includes compact countertop models, double-zone induction hobs, larger multi-zone units and specialist induction cooking equipment.
What is a commercial induction hob?
A commercial induction hob uses electromagnetic energy to heat compatible cookware directly. Rather than heating an element first, induction transfers energy into the base of the pan. This allows responsive temperature control and makes induction a useful cooking method for professional kitchens. Commercial models are available in different sizes, power outputs and configurations.
Do commercial induction hobs need special cookware?
Yes. Induction cooking requires cookware with a magnetic base. Suitable options often include cast iron and some stainless steel cookware. Aluminium, copper or glass pans will only work if they include an induction-compatible magnetic base. If you are unsure, check the cookware specification before use.
What can I cook on an induction cooker?
You can cook a wide range of foods on a commercial induction cooker, including soups, sauces, pasta, vegetables, rice, meat and stir-fries. The exact dishes will depend on the type of induction equipment and cookware used. Standard induction hobs suit everyday pan cooking, while induction wok units and stock pot stoves are better suited to more specialist or high-volume applications.
What businesses use commercial induction hobs?
Commercial induction hobs are used in restaurants, hotels, cafes, care homes, schools, canteens and other professional catering environments. Different formats are suitable for different workloads, from compact countertop units to larger heavy-duty and multi-zone cooking stations.
