The Lincat LBR is a prime example of doing one thing and  doing it exceptionally well. It’s not trying to be flashy; it’s a pure workhorse.

  • Pros: Its plug-and-play setup is genuinely effortless for any skill level.
  • Cons: The single plate design obviously limits you to one-pan cooking at a time.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Dapper Duck, a popular gastropub in York, needed to expand its sauce and  jus station to cope with a surge in evening bookings. A full range installation wasn't feasible, so they opted for two Lincat LBR boiling tops to add flexibility.

"Honestly, these little hobs have been brilliant. They're tucked away on a prep counter but give us the extra capacity we desperately needed. They heat up in a flash and  hold a steady simmer perfectly. They just work, no dramas."

Robert Miller – Head Chef

The pub was able to reduce service times on key dishes by 15% and  handle an extra 20 covers on a busy Saturday night.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant work surface for the unit.
  • Ensure there's at least 100mm of clear space around the unit for proper ventilation.
  • Before plugging in, check that the cable is not damaged and  the plug is dry.
  • Simply plug into a standard 13A socket and  it's ready to go.

Keeping It Going

  • Always allow the hotplate to cool completely before cleaning.
  • Wipe the stainless steel body and  sealed hotplate with a damp, soapy cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers.
  • Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Use pans with a flat base that match the 180mm hotplate size for the best results.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Hob

Not sure which boiling top is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider.

Power Source

Electric hobs like this Lincat model offer plug-and-play convenience, whereas gas requires a dedicated connection but can offer more responsive control.

Countertop Space

Measure your available space carefully. Compact models are great for small kitchens or as supplementary units, but you may need a larger multi-ring unit for your primary cooking.

Cooking Volume

A single ring is perfect for one-pot dishes, sauces, or occasional use. For more complex menus, consider a two or four-ring model to handle multiple pans at once.

Ease of Cleaning

Sealed hotplates, like the one on the Lynx 400 countertop boiling plate, prevent spills from getting inside the unit, making cleanup much faster and  simpler.

Build Quality

Look for robust materials like stainless steel. A well-built unit will withstand the daily rigours of a commercial environment and  prove a better long-term investment.

How 'Automatic Power Reduction' Protects Your Investment

Ever had a pan boil dry or been called away from the stove, only to come back to a scorched pan and  a dangerously hot hob? The 'Automatic Power Reduction' feature on the Lincat LBR is designed to prevent just that. Think of it as a smart safety sensor built into the hotplate. It detects a sudden, sharp rise in temperature – which happens when a pan is removed or its contents evaporate – and  automatically reduces the power output. This not only prevents the hob from overheating and  potentially damaging itself, but it also saves energy and  provides crucial peace of mind during a hectic service. It's a simple, clever feature that significantly prolongs the life of your equipment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés and  Coffee Shops

    Perfect for heating soups, paninis, or making small-batch sauces without firing up the main range.
