Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena IC2 is one of those un-sung heroes in a professional kitchen. It’s not flashy, but its performance-to-price ratio is exceptional. For any business needing a quick, efficient, and  portable heat source, it's a smart investment that delivers consistent results without any drama. It’s a real workhorse.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Performance: The heat-up time is phenomenal; it can bring a pan to temperature in seconds.
  • Control: The analogue dial is simple but lacks the pinpoint precision of a digital display.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Little Deli Co.' in Harrogate needed an additional cooking station to launch a new hot sandwich menu but had extremely limited counter space and  no option for new gas fitting. They chose the Modena IC2 for its small footprint and  plug-in convenience.

"This hob is an absolute workhorse. It heats pans in seconds and  has allowed us to expand our menu without a full kitchen refit. Our new grilled halloumi wraps have been flying out!"

Samuel Jones – Owner

The addition of the hob allowed them to introduce five new hot menu items, boosting their lunchtime sales by over 30% within the first two months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable, and  non-metallic surface before use.
  • Leave at least 10cm of clearance around all sides to allow the internal fan to circulate air properly.
  • It comes with a standard 13 amp plug, so simply plug it into a suitable socket – no hardwiring needed!
  • Remember to use induction-compatible pans. An easy test is to see if a magnet sticks firmly to the base.

Keeping It Going

  • Once cool, wipe the glass surface with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent after every service.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the ceramic top.
  • Regularly check and  clear the air intake and  exhaust vents of any dust or debris to prevent overheating.
  • Avoid dropping heavy pots or utensils onto the hob to prevent the glass from cracking.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Hob

Not sure which hob is the perfect fit for your setup? It can be tricky. Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider to make the right choice.

Power Source

Gas offers classic control, but induction provides incredible speed, safety, and  energy efficiency. Standard electric is a good budget option but is slower and  less efficient.

Size & Footprint

Consider your available space. A countertop unit like this electric countertop induction hob offers great flexibility, whereas a larger freestanding range is better for high-volume kitchens.

Power Rating (kW)

More power means faster heat-up times. A 3kW hob is excellent for general-purpose cooking, while you might need 5kW+ for large-scale boiling or wok cooking.

Portability

If you cater at events, run a food truck, or need to rearrange your kitchen often, a lightweight, plug-in portable hob is an invaluable asset.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth, seamless surfaces. Induction and  ceramic hobs are the easiest to clean as spills don't bake on, unlike gas burners with multiple parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of pans can I use with this hob?

A: You'll need to use induction-compatible cookware. This means pans with a ferrous (magnetic) base, such as cast iron or many types of stainless steel. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pan, you're good to go.

Q: Is the induction hob noisy when operating?

A: You may hear a slight whirring from the internal cooling fan and  a faint buzzing sound during operation, especially at higher power settings. This is completely normal for induction hobs.

Q: Can I use this at home?

A: While designed for commercial use due to its power and  robust build, it uses a standard 13 amp plug, so it can be used in a domestic kitchen provided the socket can handle the load.

Q: What does the 3kW power rating mean for cooking?

A: 3kW (3000 Watts) is a high power rating for a plug-in appliance. It means the hob can transfer a lot of energy very quickly, allowing it to boil water and  heat pans significantly faster than a typical domestic hob.

Q: How do I clean the surface?

A: It's very easy. Once the hob is cool, simply wipe the ceramic glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and  a little mild detergent. Because the surface itself doesn't get extremely hot, food spills don't burn on.

Q: Does it require any special electrical installation?

A: No, the Modena IC2 comes fitted with a standard UK 13 amp plug, so you can plug it straight into any suitable wall socket without needing an electrician.

Q: How heavy is it to move around?

A: It weighs just 5.6kg, making it very easy for one person to lift and  move, which is ideal for cleaning or for mobile catering setups.

Q: Can it hold a large, heavy stockpot?

A: Yes, the hob is designed with a durable stainless steel frame and  strong ceramic glass to support the weight of typical commercial pots and  pans.

Clara B. – Bistro, Edinburgh

How Induction Cooking Saves You Time and  Money

Ever wondered why chefs rave about induction? It's all about direct heat. Unlike traditional hobs that heat a ring which then heats the pan, induction uses a magnetic field to heat the pan itself, directly. Think of it like a wireless charger for your cookware; it sends energy straight to the pan, so almost no heat is wasted into the kitchen air. This means your 3kW induction cooking hob is incredibly fast, uses far less electricity than a standard electric hob, and  the surface stays much cooler, making it safer and  a doddle to clean.

Who Should Buy This?

    Perfect for whipping up soups, sauces, or breakfast items without firing up the main range.
