The M018E-1.4 is a 5 kW electric stockpot hob designed for large-volume liquid preparation in commercial kitchens. It delivers continuous heat to pots exceeding 40 litres, supporting stock reduction, soup production, and sauce preparation at professional scale. Operations include hotel kitchens, high-volume restaurants, institutional catering, and banquet facilities.
Commercial Application
This unit sits in permanent station positions where continuous simmering and liquid processing occur throughout service. It eliminates the time loss associated with repeated batch heating on standard range tops. Chefs maintain multiple stocks simultaneously without occupying primary cooking surfaces.
The 5 kW element maintains stable temperatures for extended periods, reducing supervision time during stock reduction. Large-diameter surface accommodates commercial stockpots from 40 to 80 litres. Heat distribution supports both rapid bring-up and controlled simmer phases.
