Boiling Tops and Hobs
What Are Boiling Tops & Hobs?
A boiling top in catering is typically a countertop appliance that utilizes induction technology to generate heat. Instead of traditional gas or electric burners, induction cooking uses electromagnetic fields to directly heat the cooking vessel, resulting in faster and more efficient heating. Boiling Tops are commonly used in catering establishments for tasks like boiling, simmering, sautéing, and stir-frying. They are available in various sizes and configurations, including single-burner and multi-burner models, to accommodate different cooking needs and volumes of food.
Hobs can come in different forms, including gas, electric, or induction, and they typically feature multiple burners or heating zones. The number of burners or zones can vary depending on the size and configuration of the hob, ranging from two to six or more. Hobs are essential in catering environments as they provide the primary heat source for cooking a variety of dishes. Chefs and cooks can use different burners simultaneously to prepare multiple items at once, saving time and increasing efficiency in a high-volume setting.
