Why this induction hob earns its place
The Falcon F900 i9097 is a solid top induction boiling top made for busy professional kitchens that need power, control and straightforward usability in one station. It is a 900 mm-wide stainless steel unit on a 400V three-phase supply, with a gross weight of 63 kg and a black finish.
Its main selling point is the five-zone layout. The square central zone is the most powerful at 7.5 kW, while the sides reach up to 3 kW, the front section 3 kW and the rear zone 5 kW. That gives chefs a flexible, high-output surface that can be worked in a way that feels familiar, because the manufacturer says it can be used the same way as a gas solid top.
The i9097 is also framed around the usual reasons kitchens choose induction: better energy efficiency, increased controllability and easier cleaning. The unit comes with a 2 year parts and labour warranty, a stainless steel body and a plug fuel type listing in the spec, so it is set up as serious fixed-site kit rather than a light-duty countertop appliance.
