New model offers a quality, affordable alternative to high power versions
Falcon has launched a new induction top oven range, called the One Series. It’s aimed at operators who want the quality and reliability of a Falcon product, but who don’t need the high power and performance of Falcon’s F900 or Dominator Plus models. It’s also ideal for kitchens that simply don’t have the power supply to cope with the high performance products. The One Series is available in two versions, single phase and three phase, and it offers a more affordable solution for operators in, for example, cafes, coffee shops and care homes.
The One Series range features a fan assisted oven and a hob with six induction heat zones. The induction technology gives instant heat and precise temperature control – and the One has a 3kW boost function that allows the chef to boost power to a selected induction heat zone, so there’s extra ‘oomph’ when it’s needed. The digital display makes it easy for staff to control and monitor temperatures.
The induction’s in-built pan detection means there’s no wasted energy and very little wasted heat. The One Series has a robust, 6mm toughened glass hob plate that can withstand the knocks of a busy commercial kitchen. It’s also a cinch to keep clean – the kitchen brigade can simply wipe spillages away.
The One Series’ fan-assisted oven is 2/1GN compatible, has a temperature range of 100 – 250°C, offers five shelf positions and is supplied with two shelves. Glass panelled doors and two internal lights make it easy to monitor cooking progress without having to open the door and lose valuable heat. The single phase version, model E161i, has six 1.5kW induction cooking zones and a 4kW oven. Each cooking zone on the three phase version, model E163i, is 1.85kW and the oven is 6.4kW.
“This is the induction range for caterers who want Falcon induction but previously couldn’t have it,” says Shaune Hall, product development chef at Falcon. “It fits a need and a budget, combining the right price, the right features and the right performance for them. We believe it will be a big hit in the market.”
