ILVE Professional Plus 100 cm Induction Cooker with Dual Ovens PDI106WE3

A 100 cm professional induction cooker combines a full-width induction hob with two separate electric ovens, letting a kitchen run multiple cooking programmes at once without flavour transfer.

Induction hobs heat pans directly through an electromagnetic field beneath the ceramic surface. When a pan with a ferrous base is placed on the zone, the field induces currents in the metal, generating heat in the pan itself rather than in the hob. This gives instant control over power, rapid temperature changes and no wasted heat on the surrounding surface, making it safer and more responsive than gas or radiant electric hobs.

The two electric ovens use concealed elements and a fan to circulate hot air evenly around the cavity. The fan draws air over the heating elements, then pushes it through vents at the back and sides, ensuring every shelf receives the same temperature. This convection method cooks food faster and more uniformly than static heat, and allows multiple trays to be baked or roasted at once without rotating them.

To operate the cooker, the induction hob is switched on at the mains. Each zone is activated by touching its control, then the power level is set with a rotary knob or touch slider. Pans are placed on the active zones and the heat adjusts instantly when the setting is changed. The ovens are turned on individually; the desired temperature is selected on the electronic panel and the oven begins pre-heating. Once the set temperature is reached, the oven beeps and the food is loaded on wire shelves. The timer can be programmed for automatic shut-off, and the oven light is switched on to monitor progress without opening the door.

The cooker is constructed in stainless steel with a brushed finish. The induction hob surface is ceramic glass, and the oven cavities are lined with enamel-coated steel. Oven doors are double-glazed for heat retention and safety.

Controls include separate electronic panels for each oven, each with a digital display, temperature selector, timer and oven light switch. The induction hob has touch controls for zone activation and rotary knobs for power adjustment.

A width of 1000 mm fits standard worktop runs in professional kitchens, while the 600 mm depth allows it to be installed against a wall or island without overhang. The 860 mm height places the oven shelves at a comfortable working level for chefs of average stature. The A+ energy rating indicates lower electricity consumption per cooking cycle compared to less efficient models, reducing running costs in a busy kitchen.

The enamel-lined oven cavities are wiped clean with a damp cloth after each use. Wire shelves and oven trays are removed and washed separately. The ceramic induction surface is cleaned with a hob scraper and a damp cloth once it has cooled, as the smooth surface prevents food from burning on. The stainless steel exterior is wiped with a mild detergent solution to maintain its appearance.

The cooker is available in a stainless steel finish as standard, with optional copper or burnished finishes and RAL Classic colour options available at additional cost.
