Overview

Blue Seal IN512F-B Evolution Series 450mm Dual Zone Induction Cooktop - Bench Model

The Blue Seal IN512F-B is a 450mm bench-mount commercial induction cooktop from the Evolution Series, delivering two independent 5kW full-area induction zones for a combined output of 10kW. Designed and built in New Zealand from heavy-duty 304 stainless steel, it suits cafés, restaurants, hotels and any professional kitchen requiring fast, energy-efficient cooking with precise heat management.

Induction technology transfers heat directly to compatible cookware rather than heating the surrounding air, keeping the kitchen cooler and more comfortable while reducing energy waste. The bench model configuration offers flexible placement on existing workbenches, leg stands or cabinet bases, making it a practical choice for modular kitchen layouts and tight commercial spaces.

Key Benefits

• Rapid heat transfer through induction technology means shorter heat-up times and faster service throughput compared with traditional electric or gas cooktops.
• Automatic pan detection switches each induction zone off the moment cookware is removed, improving safety and cutting unnecessary energy consumption.
• Infinitely variable power control on each zone allows chefs to dial in precise heat levels, supporting consistent cooking results across a full service.
• Induction cooking directs energy into the pan rather than the air, producing significantly less ambient heat and creating a cooler, more comfortable working environment.
• The 6mm thick ceramic glass cooking surface is easy to wipe clean between services, reducing cleaning time and helping maintain hygiene standards in busy kitchens.
• Independent zone controls let two cooks or two cooking tasks run simultaneously at different power levels without interference.
• Bench model design integrates into existing countertop setups or modular Blue Seal Evolution Series configurations, supporting flexible kitchen planning.
• Heavy-duty 304 stainless steel construction combined with easy-service access supports long-term reliability and straightforward maintenance.
