The Lincat SLI3W really shines where speed and  presentation matter. It’s got that instant, ferocious heat you need for authentic wok cooking, but without the open flames, making it a natural fit for theatre kitchens.

  • Pros: The power is phenomenal; it heats a wok in seconds, cutting down cooking times.
  • Cons: It’s specifically for round-bottom woks, so you can’t use your standard flat pans.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Pad Thai Pantry, a popular food truck based in Leeds, needed to speed up their service during the hectic lunchtime rush. Their existing gas burner was inconsistent and  slow to heat up, creating a bottleneck.

"The Lincat induction wok was a revelation. The heat is instant and  so easy to control. We’re getting dishes out faster, the queue is moving, and  our customers are happier. Plus, with no gas bottles to worry about, our setup is much safer and  simpler."

Tom Williams – Owner, Pad Thai Pantry

Since switching, they’ve managed to increase their lunch service output by over 30%, serving more customers in the same amount of time.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Place the unit on a flat, stable, and  heat-resistant countertop.
  • Ensure there is at least 10cm of clear space around the unit for proper air circulation.
  • Use only a 13" (330mm) round-bottomed, induction-compatible wok for best results.
  • Simply plug the fitted 13-amp plug into a standard UK socket. No hardwiring needed!

Keeping It Going

  • After each use, wait for the surface to cool and  wipe it with a damp, soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Never use abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals on the glass surface.
  • Regularly check and  clean the air filter at the base of the unit to prevent overheating.
  • Do not submerge any part of the hob in water or use a water jet to clean it.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Induction Hob

Thinking about making the switch to induction? It's a great move for many kitchens. Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Power & Speed

Check the kilowatt (kW) rating. A higher rating, like the 2.4kW on this model, means faster heat-up times, which is crucial for busy services.

Portability vs. Fixed Unit

Countertop models offer brilliant flexibility for event caterers or kitchens needing an extra station. Fixed units are better for permanent, high-volume setups.

Cookware Compatibility

Induction hobs need specific 'induction-ready' pans. Specialist hobs like this one are designed for a particular shape, so always check your existing cookware.

Safety First

Look for features like pan detection and  overheat protection. They not only protect your staff but also save energy and  prolong the life of the machine.

Cleaning and  Upkeep

A flat, seamless glass top is the gold standard. It makes cleaning up spills a quick wipe-down job, saving valuable time at the end of a shift.

"An absolutely brilliant bit of kit. We use it for live cooking demos at our cookery school and  it never misses a beat. Heats up incredibly fast and  is a doddle to wipe down afterwards."

How Smart Pan Detection Saves You Money and  Hassle

Ever seen a chef lift a wok off the heat mid-toss? With a traditional gas hob, the flame keeps roaring, wasting energy and  heating up the kitchen. That's where the Lincat's Pan Detection feature comes in. It's a clever bit of tech that knows instantly whether a compatible wok is in place or not. The moment you lift the pan, it cuts the power. When you place it back down, the heat comes on again instantly.

Think of it like a smart sensor in a modern car that turns the headlights on automatically in the dark. You don't have to think about it; it just works, making your kitchen safer and  more efficient. This simple feature prevents the hob from heating an empty station, which not only slashes your energy bills but also protects the unit from damage and  reduces the risk of burns for your busy team.
