  • Pros: The cast iron plates heat up quickly and  hold their temperature beautifully.
  • Cons: It’s a heavy unit and  needs a 3-phase supply, so check your setup first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, found their existing four-ring hob was causing bottlenecks during the busy summer tourist season. They upgraded to the Lincat OE8011 to increase their output and  speed up service.

"The difference was immediate. We can have six large pans on the go, from sauces to pasta, without any juggling. The heat is consistent across all the plates, which has improved the quality of our dishes. It’s just so much more efficient."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By adding the Lincat boiling top, The Harbour View Bistro successfully increased their main course output by over 30% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit must be installed and  hardwired by a qualified commercial electrician due to its 400V 3-phase power requirement.
  • Ensure it's placed on a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop with adequate load-bearing capacity (it weighs 48kg!).
  • Leave a minimum clearance of 150mm around the sides and  back for proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Before the first use, it's a good practice to 'season' the cast iron hotplates by heating them on a low setting with a light coating of cooking oil.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the hotplates to cool down completely before cleaning to avoid thermal shock.
  • Wipe the stainless steel body daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scouring pads.
  • For the cast iron plates, use a stiff brush to remove any burnt-on food, then wipe with a lightly oiled cloth to prevent rust.
  • Check that the control dials are clean and  free from grease build-up to ensure they operate smoothly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Boiling Top

Not sure which hob is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key points to help you decide.

1. Consider Your Volume

How many pans do you have on the go during your busiest period? A 6 plate commercial boiling hob like this is ideal for high-volume sites, while smaller cafés might only need two or four.

2. Check Your Power Supply

Powerful units like this Lincat OE8011 often need a 3-phase electricity supply. Always confirm what your kitchen has before you buy to avoid installation headaches.

3. Measure Your Space

Countertop models are great space-savers, but make sure you have enough depth and  width, plus essential ventilation clearance around the back and  sides.

4. Prioritise Easy Cleaning

Look for features like a sealed hob top. It might seem like a small detail, but it will save your team hours of cleaning time over the years.

5. Think About Durability

In a commercial kitchen, equipment needs to be tough. A stainless steel construction is the industry standard for longevity and  resistance to rust and  corrosion.

Why a Fully Sealed Hob is a Chef's Best Friend

Ever had a pot boil over or a sauce spill during a chaotic service? With a standard hob, that mess can drip down the sides, under the plates, and  into the machine's inner workings, creating a sticky, greasy cleaning nightmare that takes ages to sort out. The Lincat's fully pressed and  sealed hob top completely prevents this. Think of it like a baking tray with a raised edge. Any spills are contained right there on the flat surface, with nowhere to go. It turns a potential deep-clean job into a simple wipe-down with a cloth, saving you precious time and  effort when you need it most.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants & Gastropubs: Easily expands your cooking capacity to handle complex menus and  peak service without a full range.
  • Schools, Hospitals & Care Homes: A durable, straightforward, and  powerful hob for preparing large quantities of meals reliably every day.
  • Hotel Kitchens: Perfect for the main kitchen or as a dedicated unit for room service and  breakfast prep.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: A heavy-duty, transportable boiling top that delivers consistent performance in any temporary kitchen setup.
