LOTUS Induction Wok Hob PCIW-74ETDX for Professional Kitchens

An induction wok hob transfers energy directly into a steel pan through a magnetic field, eliminating the need for a traditional flame or heating element. The ceramic glass surface remains cool to the touch except where the pan sits, concentrating heat only where it is needed. This method delivers rapid temperature changes and precise control, making it suitable for stir-frying, searing and delicate sauces alike.

The operator places a steel wok or compatible pan onto the marked cooking zone, selects the desired power level using the digital or standard control knob, and begins cooking. The hob responds instantly to adjustments, allowing quick shifts between high heat for stir-frying and lower settings for simmering. A rear splashback protects the wall from grease and steam, while the rounded worktop edges reduce the risk of accidental damage.

Built from 18/10 CrNi stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin polish, the unit resists corrosion and staining. The 2 mm thick worktop supports heavy pans, and chromed details add durability. Waterproof IPX5-rated knobs prevent moisture ingress during cleaning. Adjustable flanged feet level the hob on uneven floors, and rolling racks beneath the cabinet keep pots and utensils within reach.

A 5 kW power rating requires a 400 V 3-phase electrical supply, typical of professional kitchens with high-demand equipment. The 400 × 705 × 900 mm footprint fits into standard worktop runs, while the 38 kg weight ensures stability without permanent fixing. The ceramic glass top is easy to wipe clean, and the front control panel removes for access to serviceable parts.

Maintenance involves regular wiping of the glass surface to remove spills, and occasional cleaning of the stainless steel exterior with mild detergent. The rear splashback and rounded edges simplify daily upkeep, and the waterproof knobs allow safe rinsing under a tap.

The PCIW-74ETDX is categorised under professional induction cooking equipment, specifically designed for wok use with a concave steel pan.
