BHS-G GT1000-080EV+S02 Electric Solid Top for Professional Kitchens

A solid-top electric hob spreads heat evenly across a thick metal plate, eliminating hot spots that can scorch food. The plate absorbs and holds heat, then radiates it steadily to the pans above, so sauces simmer without scorching and meats sear without burning. Four independent 2.5 kW heating zones let the chef run different processes at once—simmering a stock on one side while searing steaks on the other—without heat bleeding across the surface.

The operator starts by adjusting the four round legs to level the unit on the worktop. Each of the four knobs controls one zone; turning them smoothly raises the temperature from a gentle simmer to a fierce sear. The centre of the plate can reach 450 °C, hot enough to char vegetables or flash-cook thin cuts. Once the zones are set, the hob heats quickly, ready for service in minutes. Pans sit directly on the 15 mm stainless steel plate; no grates or trivets are needed, so the full surface is usable and easy to wipe clean between batches.

The hob is built on an open stainless-steel base that stands 850 mm high, 800 mm deep and 730 mm wide. The 750 × 570 mm cooking surface sits flush with the front edge, giving the chef clear access without reaching. A removable chimney collects steam and smoke, then comes off for cleaning in a commercial dishwasher. The body and legs are made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitising in a busy kitchen.

The 10 kW power rating means the hob draws a steady load that must be wired to a three-phase 400 V circuit, the standard supply for professional catering equipment. The 750 × 570 mm footprint fits on most worktops, while the 850 mm height matches standard counter levels, so the chef can work without bending. The four adjustable legs allow the unit to sit level on uneven floors, preventing spills and uneven cooking.

After service, the hob cools and the operator wipes the solid top with a damp cloth. The removable chimney is washed in the dishwasher, and the stainless-steel body is wiped down with a sanitising solution. The four knobs are cleaned in place, and the legs are checked for stability.

The GT1000-080EV+S02 is a freestanding solid-top hob designed for professional kitchens. It is listed in the BHS-G catalogue under electric cooking equipment.
