LOTUS PCI-74ETX Professional Induction Cooking Hob

A professional induction hob that transfers energy directly into magnetic-base cookware, eliminating open flames and radiant heat. The glass ceramic surface remains cool except where the pan sits, concentrating all power into the base for rapid, even heating. This method allows instant response to temperature changes and precise control over cooking processes, from delicate simmering to high-heat stir-frying in a WOK pan.

The operator places a compatible pan on the marked zone, selects the desired power level with the water-resistant control knobs, and starts the programme. The hob senses the pan's presence and activates the induction field, heating only the pan and its contents. A locking system prevents accidental activation, and adjustable feet provide a stable, level worktop. When cooking is complete, the hob switches off automatically once the pan is removed, leaving the surface safe to touch and easy to clean.

The hob is built from 2 mm thick CrNi 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, rounded edges and chrome-plated components. The glass ceramic cooking surface withstands high temperatures and is designed for continuous professional use. IPX5-rated control knobs protect against water ingress during cleaning.

A 10 kW power rating requires a 400/440 V three-phase electrical supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with dedicated high-current circuits. The 40 kg weight and 400 × 705 × 900 mm dimensions provide a stable, freestanding unit that fits into standard worktop layouts. The three-phase connection allows consistent power delivery even under heavy loads, supporting high-temperature cooking without voltage drop.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass ceramic surface with a damp cloth after each use, while the stainless steel body can be washed with mild detergent. The rounded edges and satin finish reduce dirt accumulation, and the water-resistant knobs allow safe rinsing. The hob is designed for use with concave steel WOK pans, offering a dedicated WOK model variant for stir-frying and high-heat techniques.

The LOTUS PCI-74ETX is designed for commercial kitchens requiring precise, energy-efficient heat control in professional induction and WOK cooking ranges.
