Induction cooktop HENDI 239681

An induction hob built for wok cooking transfers energy directly into the pan without heating the surface. A magnetic field beneath the ceramic plate generates heat only in the base of the wok, so the stove stays cool around the edges while the centre reaches the temperature needed for stir-frying, searing or flash-frying. The method eliminates open flames and reduces heat loss, concentrating the power where the food is cooked rather than warming the kitchen air.

The operator places the HENDI wok pan on the stove, switches the unit on and selects the power level with a touch-sensitive control. The stove responds instantly to each adjustment, moving from high to low heat in a fraction of a second. A grease collection filter beneath the pan catches splashes and spills, keeping the worktop cleaner during service. The stove is designed to hold a single wok pan and supports a maximum load of 20 kg, allowing large batches of ingredients to be cooked at once.

The unit is constructed with a ceramic cooking surface and a stainless-steel housing. A touch panel on the front edge sets the power level, with no knobs or dials to collect grease. The grease filter slides out for cleaning, and the smooth surfaces of the stove and filter allow quick wiping between uses.

A 3.5 kW power rating means the stove requires a dedicated circuit capable of handling the load without tripping. The 230 V voltage matches the standard supply in British commercial kitchens, so no special wiring is needed beyond the correct fuse rating. The 10 kg weight allows the stove to be moved by one person, while the 340 x 450 mm footprint fits on most worktops without crowding adjacent equipment. The 295 mm height clears the space needed for the wok pan and filter beneath.

Cleaning involves removing the grease filter, washing it separately, and wiping the ceramic surface and stainless-steel housing with a damp cloth. The touch controls do not trap food particles, so they stay hygienic with minimal effort.

This stove is designed exclusively for use with HENDI wok pan 239773. It is listed in the catalogue under induction hobs and wok equipment.
