ILVE Professional Plus Gas Hob HCPT95FD with Cast Iron Supports

A gas hob designed for professional kitchens, delivering instant and controllable heat across multiple burners. Gas hobs operate by mixing natural gas or propane with air in a burner, where an integrated ignition system produces a flame. The flame heats the base of pans directly, allowing rapid temperature adjustments and even heat distribution.

The hob is operated by placing cookware onto the sturdy cast iron pan supports, which keep pots and pans stable during use. Each burner is lit via an electric ignition system, eliminating the need for matches or lighters. The flame is adjusted using knobs that control the gas flow, offering infinite variability between the stated minimum and maximum outputs. A safety valve automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished, preventing gas leaks.

The hob features burners of varying diameters to accommodate different pan sizes and cooking requirements. The largest dual burner, with a 120 mm diameter, provides high heat output for rapid boiling or searing, while the smaller burners offer precise control for delicate tasks. The brass flame spreaders, treated with a non-stick nanotechnological coating, ensure even heat distribution and reduce the risk of food residue sticking to the burner.

The hob is constructed with a robust frame and a fry top plate that rests on the grill, providing additional cooking flexibility. The surface measures 900 mm by 532 mm, fitting standard worktop cut-outs in professional kitchens. Cast iron pan supports and brass components are built to withstand the demands of daily use in a busy kitchen environment.

Controls consist of knobs for each burner, allowing independent adjustment of the flame. The power outputs range from low simmer settings to high heat, enabling a wide variety of cooking techniques. The hob requires a gas supply and must be installed by a qualified professional to ensure safe operation.

Cleaning involves removing the pan supports and wiping down the surface after use. The non-stick treatment on the brass flame spreaders simplifies the removal of food debris, while the cast iron supports can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Regular inspection of the burners and safety valve is recommended to maintain performance and safety.

The ILVE Professional Plus gas hob is categorised under professional cooking equipment, specifically designed for high-demand kitchen environments.
