HENDI Induction Stove 3.5 kW for Professional Kitchens

An induction stove transfers energy directly into the base of a pan using a magnetic field, eliminating the heat loss of a conventional hob. The coil beneath the ceramic surface generates a high-frequency alternating current that induces eddy currents in the ferromagnetic pan, heating it instantly while the surrounding worktop stays cool. This method gives precise temperature control and rapid response, cutting energy waste and shortening cooking times. To use the stove, place an induction-compatible pan with a flat base between 120 mm and 260 mm in diameter on the marked cooking zone. Plug the unit into a 230 V single-phase circuit and switch it on. The control panel lets the operator select the power level up to 3.5 kW, adjusting the magnetic field strength to match the cooking task. The stove automatically detects the pan and activates only when one is present, conserving energy when idle. Once cooking is complete, the pan can be removed immediately; the ceramic surface cools quickly, reducing the risk of accidental burns. The unit is built with a stainless-steel frame and a ceramic glass cooking surface. Its compact footprint of 329 mm by 435 mm fits tight worktops, while the 106 mm height allows under-cupboard clearance. At 5.2 kg, the stove is light enough for one person to reposition without tools, yet stable enough to support a pan load of up to 20 kg. A 3.5 kW power rating means the stove draws a significant current, so it should be connected to a dedicated circuit with adequate circuit protection. The 230 V requirement matches standard UK commercial mains supply, avoiding the need for special transformers or three-phase wiring. Cleaning is straightforward: the smooth ceramic surface wipes clean with a damp cloth once it has cooled. The stainless-steel frame resists corrosion and can be sanitised with standard kitchen cleaners. The smooth ceramic surface slides under a damp cloth without removing a single part, letting you restart service in seconds. This model is designed exclusively for induction-compatible pans; it will not work with aluminium, copper or non-magnetic stainless-steel cookware. The 120–260 mm base diameter range covers most professional induction pans, from small saucepans to large stockpots.
