Why this induction hob earns its place
Induction cooking puts all the energy into the pan—no wasted heat, no burnt edges, no waiting. The Vollrath 4-Series at 3kW is the sweet spot for medium-duty prep: heating a decent stock pot, maintaining oil for batch frying, or simmering multiple pots of sauce during service. Unlike gas, induction is instantly responsive and repeatable—set it once, walk away, come back to the exact same temperature every time.
The hob's front-mounted touchscreen controls four customisable programmes and a temperature probe, so your team can dial in the heat they need and lock it in. At 420mm wide and 133mm tall, it sits on the pass or a prep counter without consuming floor space. The stainless steel surface stays cool—nothing sticks, nothing burns on, cleaning takes seconds. Weigh it: 12 kg. Light enough to relocate between stations, built solid enough to handle daily service abuse.
Vollrath's patented power control makes 3kW feel bigger than the number suggests—stable output, no dips or overshoots. It's designed for simmering sauces and stocks and manages deep frying without strain. Plug-and-go: 230V standard commercial socket, 2-year parts and labour warranty, no installation needed.
