How Commercial 2 Plate Electric Boiling Tops Work
Commercial electric boiling tops operate through powerful heating elements beneath solid cast iron plates. These elements convert electricity into intense, controlled heat that transfers directly to your cookware. With independent controls for each plate, chefs can simultaneously manage different cooking temperatures—perfect for searing steaks on one plate while gently simmering sauces on the other. Most professional models feature thermostatic controls with temperature ranges from 50-300°C for precise cooking. The beauty of these commercial twin hobs is their simplicity—plug in, dial your desired heat, and within minutes, you're cooking with restaurant-grade power!

Top Tips for Using Commercial 2 Plate Electric Boiling Tops
For optimal performance from your electric boiling top, use flat-bottomed, heavy-duty cookware that matches the plate diameter for maximum heat transfer. Allow 5-10 minutes for cast iron plates to reach full temperature before cooking. Clean spills promptly to prevent them baking onto surfaces, and periodically check power connections for signs of wear. To extend lifespan, avoid dragging heavy pots across plates—lifting prevents damage to both cookware and heating surfaces.
