Commercial Induction Cookers for Restaurant Kitchens

It’s fair to say that induction technology has revolutionised commercial kitchens. Transforming them from sweltering infernos that needed noisy fans, to a much more pleasant, temperate atmosphere that’s more comfortable to work in. Indeed, some of our clients have reported that after the move to induction hobs, there had been a marked decrease in staff turnover.

The change has been profound and is one of the factors that has enabled restaurants to add an element of theatre by enabling diners to see what’s going on in the kitchen. This would not be possible with the heat of more traditional gas burners.

Why are Commercial Induction Hobs so Popular?

Induction cooking has all the speed and efficiency of using gas, is a lot safer, a lot easier to clean and creates better working conditions for your chefs. It offers many advantages to commercial kitchens in terms of safety, cost and efficiency.

Induction is very efficient because:

1. It allows consistent heat distribution.
2. Quicker cooking times.
3. Less energy usage and waste

Induction hobs work by generating heat inside the base of the induction cooking pan, rather than the element of a traditional electric hob. This means the hob itself doesn’t get very hot, enabling you to clean it straight away.

What’s more, commercial induction hobs won’t deliver power if a pan is not placed on top of them, or if the pan isn’t large enough for the ring. This means no power or energy is wasted when it’s not in use; they will only use power when you are using them.

And because the thermostatic controls will turn off the power if they sense that the pan is too hot, it will prevent pans from boiling dry. This also prevents cooker failure in the event that a pan is forgotten.

Due to the way induction hobs work, lower amounts of waste heat are generated which has many benefits including:

1. Reducing the ambient temperature of the commercial kitchen.
2. Reducing the reliance on ventilation safety systems usually associated with gas appliances.
3. Creates a better overall working environment for chefs helping with staff retention.

Commercial induction hobs were one of the key elements of our Ceda Grand Prix award-winning design for the five-star Park Lane London hotel. Together with other energy-saving equipment we installed, the Hotel reported it saved them £75,000 on their energy bill in just one year.

De Manincor Induction Cookers, Heat Pans and Woks

We have installed De Manincor Induction Ranges

in many of our kitchens because they offer significant advantages. Ergonomically designed, they are reliable, cost-effective and flexible. The De Manicor range of induction cookers, heat pans, woks and griddles are an excellent addition to any modern restaurant kitchen.

They can be tailor-made for any kitchen layout giving chefs everything they need to improve the workflow, create a nicer working environment and adapt the menu. Thanks to the integrated Royal MAXI INDU technology, chefs can use the entire surface of the hob – wherever the pan is placed, the hob will automatically react to it. They are no longer restricted to the number of rings available, which increases their working space and capabilities. They also feature an automatic safety switch and work excellently with induction-compatible pans.

Induction-Driven Wok

De Manincor has introduced a bowl-shaped induction hob, especially for woks. Normally, woks need to be used on gas rings to enable the heat to reach up the sides of the pan, but with a shaped induction hob, the heat will reach the increased surface area needed to prepare the food effectively. This induction hob especially designed for wok use, ensures that the entire surface of the pan is emitting heat evenly.

The De Manincor induction hob wok cooker range offers a high-performance electric, energy-efficient alternative to the commercial Chinese wok burner range which traditionally uses gas. The induction wok cooker can satisfy chefs’ and business requirements by using either single-phase or 3-phase electricity whilst incorporating any number of induction wok burners to suit you.

With minimal maintenance and ventilation requirements compared to traditional Chinese wok cookers, alongside quicker and more responsive induction wok cooktops, this commercial indiction hob wok range is easy to keep clean, produces a cooler working environment and can also dramatically reduce your running costs.

Induction Griddle

Induction technology has also been applied to countertop griddles. It uses around 55% less electricity than a conventional electric griddle and due to the powerful induction technology, the griddle provides instant heat at lower running costs. The way that these commercial induction hobs are emitting heat, means that you have accurate temperature readings. Plus it’s easy to clean.

Commercial Induction Hobs

Commercial induction hobs are a highly versatile and efficient addition to the modern restaurant kitchen. Thanks to their innovative energy-saving cooking method, induction cookers heat pans up quickly without emitting heat into the kitchen, great for all-sized businesses. Most induction hobs are also portable, making them great for mobile catering or easy storage. If you prefer to cook using energy-efficient induction, check out the selection of induction hobs.

De Manincor also offers powerful induction oven ranges and fryers – these powerful induction oven ranges are perfect for busy restaurants needing to reduce running costs. Most induction hobs can provide instant heat and can be highly versatile, the De Manincor range goes a step further, offering complete tailor-made solutions for your commercial kitchen, including easy storage, a convection oven, a labour warranty and portable equipment.
