Overview

Benchstar IW500 Ceramic Induction Wok with Stainless Steel Body

The Benchstar IW500 is a compact, heavy-duty ceramic induction wok designed for the demands of medium to large commercial kitchens, including restaurants, cafés, hotels and catering operations. Powered by a 5000W induction system operating on 415V three-phase supply, it delivers rapid, responsive heat across six adjustable power levels (500W to 5000W), giving chefs precise control over high-temperature wok cooking.

Built with a durable stainless steel body and a ceramic glass wok surface, the IW500 combines professional hygiene standards with easy cleaning and long-term reliability. Hard-wired installation (no plug supplied) keeps the unit secure in a fixed bench position, while a Ø280mm wok ring accommodates rounded-bottom pans and woks. Compatible with steel, cast iron, enamelled iron and rounded-bottom cookware, this unit is equally suited to Asian cuisine, à la carte service and high-volume catering environments.

Key Benefits

• Six power levels from 500W to 5000W allow precise adjustment to suit delicate simmering through to intense stir-frying, supporting consistent, repeatable cooking results.
• Induction technology transfers heat directly to the cookware rather than heating surrounding air, keeping the kitchen cooler and reducing the risk of burns from a hot cooking surface.
• Energy-efficient induction heating lowers running costs compared to traditional gas or radiant electric wok burners, with power used only when compatible cookware is detected.
• Electronic overheating protection automatically safeguards the unit and cookware, reducing the risk of damage during extended service periods.
• The ceramic glass wok surface is smooth, non-porous and straightforward to wipe down between uses, supporting kitchen hygiene and minimising cleaning time.
• Hard-wired three-phase connection eliminates plug and socket wear points, providing a stable, reliable power supply suited to continuous commercial use.
• Compact benchtop footprint makes the IW500 practical for kitchens where space is at a premium, without sacrificing output capacity.
• A temperature range of 60°C to 240°C covers a wide spectrum of cooking tasks, from gentle warming through to high-heat wok techniques.
