Why this induction hob earns its place
The Lincat Lynx 400 is built for kitchens where responsiveness and energy efficiency matter. Induction heats cookware directly, not air: turn the dial, temperature changes in seconds. No gas delay, no electric coil lag. That responsiveness makes it perfect for precision cooking—sauces, reductions, plating work—and for theatre-style service where you're cooking in front of the customer.
At 6000W on a single 230V plug, it's not underpowered. Two cooking zones let you work with two different pans or pot sizes without waiting or swapping. Temperature range runs +0 to +190 °C, so you're going from a gentle simmer to hard sear. The lightweight, portable design—22.1 kg, just 115mm high—means it tucks into a pass corner, a prep station, or a tasting bar without taking up valuable real estate.
Energy efficiency is real. Induction only heats the pan; the cooktop stays cool to touch, and the kitchen temperature is 20–30% lower than it would be with gas all day. Over a year, that cuts both utility bills and air conditioning load. The sleek profile—600mm wide and deep—works in show kitchens and open-plan prep areas where visual clutter matters. Standard 2-year parts and labour warranty covers the heating system and electronics.
