Electric hob FRUCOSOL BC100

An electric hob that moves the pot for you, replicating the steady circular motion of hand-stirred cooking. The BC100 rotates the vessel continuously, keeping sauces, risottos and slow-cooked dishes evenly heated and gently blended without scorching. The motion is smooth and constant, allowing ingredients to meld while the base maintains a steady temperature. This method is used for dishes that require prolonged, even heat and frequent stirring—codfish pil-pil, creamy rice puddings, or delicate reductions that must not catch or separate.

To use the hob, place the pot or pan on the rotating plate and secure it with the side fasteners. Adjust the feet to level the unit on the worktop. Plug into a standard 230 V or 110 V supply, depending on the kitchen circuit. The hob begins rotating as soon as power is supplied, so the operator can focus on adding ingredients or monitoring consistency. There are no timers or temperature dials; the motion and heat are continuous, making it suited to dishes that cook over an extended period rather than quick frying or boiling.

The construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a professional kitchen. The feet are adjustable to accommodate uneven worktops, and the side fasteners accommodate pots ranging from 22.5 cm to 45.5 cm in diameter. The unit's footprint—400 mm deep, 535 mm wide and 200 mm high—fits on most worktops without crowding adjacent equipment. At 10.5 kg, it is light enough to move between stations but stable enough to remain in place during use.

The 1.25 kW power rating indicates a moderate load on the electrical supply, suitable for a standard kitchen circuit. The dual-voltage capability allows the hob to be used in kitchens with either 230 V or 110 V wiring without modification. The continuous motion eliminates the need for manual stirring, freeing the chef to attend to other tasks while the dish cooks evenly.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth after use. The rotating plate can be removed for deeper cleaning if needed. The adjustable feet should be checked periodically to ensure the hob remains level during operation.

The BC100 is categorised under electric hobs designed for slow, stirred cooking, distinct from induction or gas hobs that rely on direct heat transfer without motion.
