Induction Cooking Without a Pan!

Sear Like Never Before

CookTek’s line of induction planchas offer unparalleled initial heat-up speed and thermal consistency.
Recovery times are fast, while two zones can be maintained at different, constant temperatures. The
available heating surface extends almost edge to edge in either direction.

From room temperature, the surface reaches 525°F (270°C) in just over ten minutes. Once the desired
settings have been reached, the cooking surface temperature is maintained. The power and
responsiveness of induction means that the addition of several pounds (kilos) of cold protein causes
minimal deflection in the cooking surface temperature. The absence of a temperature drop and rapid
recovery negates having to have a higher idle temperature, saving energy and reducing heat wasted to
the kitchen.

High power (2 x 7kW) induction coils extend out to almost the very edge of the cooking surface, and
come together in the center where the two zones meet. They generate a high frequency
electromagnetic wave that travels through the entire thickness of the top, heating it instantly and
uniformly. Any temperature loss (from cold food being applied) is instantly detected and responded
to.This saves energy and unnecessary heat loss to the cooking environment.

Optional Cooking Surfaces

There are two cooking
surface options. The
standard unit comes
with a polished steel
top, which seasons
quickly and is easily
cleaned. The optional
model comes with a
chrome top for even
easier cleaning, less
heat radiation, easier
low fat cooking, and
less opportunity for
flavor transfer.

Power and Configuration Options

CookTek designed their line of induction planchas to fit standard kitchen footprints. They are available
in 194-220VAC 3Phase or 376-424VAC 3Phase models, and can either come with a stainless steel
housing to make it a free-standing unit, or without the housing so it can be dropped into an existing
work space.

A Joy to Work On

Despite the high temperature cooking surface, emissivity is
remarkably low in all models. Because induction power
heats only the flat cooking surface, very little heat is
transferred to the equipment’s housing, creating a
comfortable work enviroment. The entire cooking surface is
surrounded by a grease moat. Drippings and debris are
collected in convenient removable drawers.
