CASTA Electric Hob P7/CUET6BB for Professional Kitchens

An electric hob heats pots and pans directly through cast iron hotplates that convert electrical energy into radiant and conductive heat. The plates reach temperature quickly and hold it steadily, allowing chefs to sear, simmer or boil without waiting for a flame to stabilise. Because the heat comes from below and spreads evenly across the plate, food cooks uniformly and hotspots are avoided. The hob sits on the worktop and draws power from the kitchen's three-phase circuit, freeing the chef from gas bottles or open flames.

To use the hob, the operator places a pot or pan on one of the six cast iron plates. Each plate has its own seven-position rotary switch, so the heat can be set from low simmer to full boil independently. The switch clicks into each position, giving tactile feedback and preventing accidental changes. Once the desired setting is chosen, the plate heats up within minutes and maintains the temperature until the switch is turned off. A built-in thermal cut-out on each plate prevents overheating, automatically cutting power if the plate becomes too hot. When cooking is finished, the operator turns the switch to zero and the plate cools down, ready for the next task.

The hob is built on a stainless steel top made of AISI 304, a grade chosen for its resistance to corrosion, staining and high temperatures. The surface is smooth and seamless, making it easy to wipe down between services. A drip tray is integrated into the frame, collecting spills and splashes so they do not reach the worktop or floor. The knobs and handles are made of a heat-resistant composite that stays cool to the touch even after hours of use, reducing the risk of burns. Four adjustable legs raise the unit to standard worktop height, allowing it to sit flush with adjacent counters or under a canopy.

The 400 V three-phase supply means the hob connects to a dedicated circuit that can handle the combined load of all six plates at full power. The 1200 mm width provides space for six pots side by side, making it suitable for medium to large kitchens where multiple dishes are prepared simultaneously. The 700 mm depth fits standard worktop depths, leaving room for backsplashes and taps behind. The 305 mm height, including legs, matches the height of most professional counters, so the hob integrates seamlessly into existing layouts.

Cleaning is straightforward: after service, the operator wipes the stainless steel top and drip tray with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The cast iron plates can be cleaned with a non-abrasive pad once they have cooled, removing any food residue without damaging the surface. The drip tray slides out for emptying and rinsing, and the legs can be adjusted to level the unit on uneven floors.

The hob is supplied as a single unit with six cast iron hotplates, seven-position switches, and a three-phase power connection. No additional modules or accessories are required for standard operation.
