Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The rapid heat-up time is a real asset during peak hours.
  • Cons: It requires a 3-phase supply, so double-check your kitchen's wiring first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby, Wales, found their existing four-burner range couldn't cope with the summer tourist demand for their seafood chowder and  pasta dishes. They needed to add more boiling capacity without a full kitchen refit.

"We slotted the Lincat boiling top onto a spare counter and  it was ready to go. The speed is phenomenal; we're no longer waiting for big pots to boil. It's tough, simple to use, and  has made our service so much smoother."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The bistro successfully increased its hot meal output by over 30% during peak lunch service, dramatically cutting down customer waiting times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit must be installed by a qualified commercial catering engineer to a suitable 3-phase supply.
  • Ensure it is placed on a sturdy, level, and  non-combustible countertop.
  • Leave at least 150mm of clear space around the sides and  rear for proper ventilation.
  • Before the first use, season the cast iron hotplates by heating them gently with a light coating of cooking oil.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Clean any spills from the hob surface as soon as it is safe to do so to prevent them from baking on.
  • When the hotplates are completely cool, use a wire brush to remove any stubborn food residue.
  • Regularly check that the controls are functioning correctly and  that the unit is heating evenly.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Boiling Top

Not sure what fits best for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a commercial boiling top.

Power Source

Electric hobs like this Lincat Opus 800 electric boiling top offer fantastic, even heat control. Just confirm you have the required 3-phase electrical supply in place.

Size & Capacity

Consider how many pans you need to use simultaneously. A four-plate model is a versatile choice for most medium-sized kitchens, providing ample capacity for a busy service.

Ease of Cleaning

A sealed hob top is a must-have. It prevents food and  liquids from seeping into the appliance, saving huge amounts of time and  effort on cleaning.

Durability

Look for robust materials like stainless steel and  heavy-duty cast iron hotplates. They're built to withstand the intense environment of a professional kitchen.

Modularity

If you plan to expand your kitchen later, choosing a unit from a modular range like the Opus 800 means you can add matching equipment for a seamless, professional cookline.

Why a Sealed Hob is a Chef's Best Friend

Ever used a boiling top where a spilt sauce or boiled-over pasta water vanishes down the gaps around the hotplates? It's a cleaning nightmare and  a real hygiene worry. The 'fully pressed sealed hob' on this Lincat commercial boiling plate completely solves that problem. Instead of separate plates dropped into a frame, the entire hob surface is pressed from a single sheet of stainless steel.

Think of it like this: it’s the difference between a tiled floor with grubby grout lines and  a perfectly smooth, single piece of polished concrete. Any spills, splashes, or mess stay on the surface, ready to be wiped away in seconds. There are no cracks or crevices for food and  grease to get trapped in, making your daily clean-down faster and  keeping your kitchen environment safer and  more hygienic.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs

    An ideal secondary cook station for sauces, soups, and  sides, freeing up your main range.
