Commercial induction cooking has moved from niche to mainstream. Rising gas costs, stricter ventilation codes, and demand for cleaner, cooler kitchens are pushing restaurants, hotels and canteens toward induction. CHINENG offers a full induction cooker range — from compact 3.5 kW countertop units to 8 kW floor-standing models, with multi-burner and built-in configurations.

1. Induction vs. Gas: Why More Kitchens Are Switching

· Energy efficiency: Induction transfers 90%+ of energy directly to the cookware — gas typically achieves 40% or less. The result is lower utility costs and a cooler kitchen.

· Faster cooking: A 5 kW induction cooker brings a wok to frying temperature in under 30 seconds — faster than an equivalent gas burner. No preheating, no wasted heat.

· Cleaner kitchen: No combustion means no carbon deposits on cookware, no grease buildup on surrounding surfaces, and significantly reduced extraction requirements.

· Safety: The cooktop surface remains relatively cool — only the cookware heats up. No open flame, no gas leak risk.

2. Countertop Models (3.5–8 kW)

The core of CHINENG's induction range. Available in 3.5 kW, 5 kW and 8 kW ratings across 220 V and 380 V. All models feature magnetic-control switches, multi-level power distribution, and timer functions.

Most countertop models include a 16 A adapter plug for 220 V models. The 8 kW CN-8164 and CN-8125 models ship in wooden crate packaging for international transport.

3. Floor-Standing & Multi-Burner Models

For kitchens that need a fixed cooking station rather than a portable unit, CHINENG offers floor-standing configurations with integrated stands. Multi-burner models serve high-volume operations.

The 3-burner combo includes ten 1/6-size condiment trays and three 32 cm woks — a complete cooking station for small restaurants and noodle shops.

4. Flat vs. Concave — Which Surface

CHINENG induction cookers are available in two cooktop configurations:

· Flat surface: Best for soup pots, stockpots, flat-bottom pans, and general-purpose cooking. Compatible with a wider range of cookware — any induction-ready flat-bottom vessel works.

· Concave surface: Designed for round-bottom woks used in Asian stir-fry cooking. The concave shape cradles the wok for maximum surface contact and even heat distribution.

5. Built-In & Specialty Models

For custom kitchen installations, CHINENG offers:

· Built-in flat (CN-8125-QRDC3500-P): 3.5 kW, 395×395×160 mm. Installs flush into the countertop. Ideal for open kitchens, buffet stations, and hotel suites.

· Built-in concave (CN-8125-QRDC5000-A): 5 kW, 395×395×180 mm. Built-in version for wok cooking.

· Holding cabinet (BWT series): 2.5 kW, 4-slot heated food holding with 7-slot condiment rack. For buffet lines and food display.

· Air switch (CN-KQKG-32A): Dedicated 32 A circuit breaker for induction cooker installations — listed as a separately orderable accessory.

6. FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 3.5 kW, 5 kW and 8 kW in practice?

3.5 kW is suitable for small restaurants, noodle shops, and light cooking — equivalent to a domestic gas burner but more efficient. 5 kW provides commercial-grade heat for standard restaurant wok cooking. 8 kW delivers industrial-level output for high-volume stir-fry, large stockpots, and rapid boiling — equivalent to a high-output commercial gas wok burner.

Q: Can I run a 5 kW induction cooker on a standard wall outlet?

A 5 kW induction cooker draws approximately 22.7 A at 220 V — exceeding most standard 13–16 A wall outlets. It requires a dedicated 32 A circuit with appropriate wiring and circuit breaker. The CN-KQKG-32A air switch is available from CHINENG for this purpose.

Q: What cookware works with induction cookers?

The cookware must have a magnetic base — cast iron, magnetic stainless steel, and induction-compatible cookware. Aluminium, copper, and non-magnetic stainless steel will not work. CHINENG offers compatible woks and stockpots as optional accessories for most models.

Q: How does induction compare to gas for wok cooking?

A 5 kW induction cooker delivers heat directly into the wok with minimal waste — reaching frying temperature faster than a gas burner. For stir-fry, the concave induction surface provides even heat distribution across the wok. The main adjustment for chefs is learning to control heat via the magnetic dial rather than visually judging the flame — most adapt within a few shifts.
