INDUCTION COOKER SINGLE

A Garland single-zone induction cooker rated 3.5 kW on a 230 V supply, with 12 power levels, real-time temperature control, a timer and warm-holding from 25 to 100°C. Induction heats the pan directly through a magnetic field, so almost no heat escapes into the kitchen — which in a UAE kitchen also means less load on the air conditioning.

Who it suits

Suits front-of-house cooking, live stations, buffets and small kitchens where flame is impractical or unwanted. The warm-hold range makes it useful for service holding as well as cooking. One requirement is absolute: induction only works with ferrous pans, so aluminium and most copper cookware will not heat at all on it.

Common questions

Does induction work with any pan?
No. The pan must be ferrous, so cast iron and magnetic stainless work. Aluminium and copper will not heat unless they have a magnetic base.

Why use induction in a hot climate?
Almost all the energy goes into the pan rather than the room, so the kitchen stays cooler and the air conditioning works less.

Is 3.5 kW enough for commercial cooking?
For a single zone, yes. Induction transfers heat far more efficiently than gas, so the kW figure is not directly comparable with a gas burner.

Is it safe for a live station in front of guests?
Yes, which is one of its main uses. There is no flame and the surface itself only heats from contact with the pan.
