Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to add a flexible cooking station for their popular seafood masterclasses without overhauling their main kitchen line. They opted for the Lincat SLI21 induction hob due to its portability and  front-of-house appeal.

"The Lincat is absolutely brilliant. We can wheel it out for demos, and  it looks the business. The instant heat is incredible, and  our chefs can use it as an extra station during a manic Saturday service. It’s tough, reliable, and  just works."

David Chen – Head Chef

The bistro successfully launched its masterclasses, and  the hob helped reduce ticket times by 15% during peak service by providing two extra cooking zones.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the hob is placed on a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop.
  • Allow for at least 10cm of clear space around the unit for proper ventilation.
  • Simply plug the 13-amp plug into a suitable mains socket. No hardwiring needed!
  • Before first use, give the Schott Ceran® glass top a quick wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the glass surface after every use with a recommended ceramic hob cleaner once cool.
  • Never use abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the surface.
  • Regularly check and  clean the built-in air filter at the base to ensure optimal cooling performance.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel body with a damp cloth to keep it looking professional.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Induction Hob

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few pointers to help you find the perfect induction hob for your business.

Power & Plug Type

Check if you need a simple 13-amp plug-in model like this one, or a more powerful hardwired unit. Plug-in hobs offer fantastic flexibility.

Number of Zones

How many pans do you need on the go at once? A two-zone hob is great for smaller tasks or as a backup, while larger four or six-zone units can anchor a busy service.

Size & Footprint

Measure your counter space carefully. A countertop induction hob like the Silverlink 600 is designed to fit into tight spaces without compromising on power.

Surface Durability

Look for toughened glass like Schott Ceran®. It's designed to resist the knocks, scrapes, and  high temperatures of a commercial kitchen environment.

Ease of Use

Do you prefer simple rotary dials or digital touch controls? Dials are often quicker to use during a busy service and  are more robust.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: You'll need to use induction-compatible pans. These are pans with a ferrous (magnetic) metal base. A quick way to check is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Q: How do I clean the glass surface?

A: It's best to use a specialist ceramic hob cleaner and  a soft cloth once the unit has cooled down. Avoid abrasive pads as they can scratch the glass.

Q: Is this unit portable?

A: Absolutely. It weighs 18kg and  comes with a standard 13-amp plug, so you can easily move it around the kitchen or take it to events as needed.

Q: Does it require any special installation?

A: Not at all. It’s a plug-and-play device. Just place it on a suitable flat surface with good ventilation and  plug it in.

Q: What is the 'pan detection' feature?

A: This is an energy-saving safety feature. The hob will only heat up when it detects a suitable pan on the cooking zone, and  it cuts power as soon as you lift the pan off.

Q: Is it powerful enough for a busy service?

A: With a 3kW output, it provides rapid heat and  is more than capable of handling the demands of a professional kitchen, whether for main service or as a supplementary unit.

Q: Can I use it for front-of-house cooking?

A: Yes, its sleek stainless steel profile and  attractive design make this Silverlink 600 countertop induction hob perfect for theatre-style cooking and  demonstrations.

Q: Does the unit get very hot on the outside?

A: The stainless steel body will get warm, but induction technology heats the pan directly, not the glass surface, so it's much safer and  cooler than traditional electric or gas hobs.

It's a simple, automatic feature that saves you money and  hassle in the background.
