APS Induction Station 385x385mm Buffet Induction Plate

The APS induction station is a self-contained induction heating unit designed for front-of-house use. It pairs a 2,000W induction plate with a lacquered oak surround, making it well suited to buffet counters, live cooking stations and event catering setups where presentation matters as much as function. The two-piece construction keeps the format compact and straightforward to position on a buffet run or serving table.

In service, the unit offers five adjustable power levels, giving operators the ability to hold dishes at a gentle simmer or maintain a more active heat depending on what is being served. The included remote control allows adjustments to be made without reaching across the display, which is a practical consideration when the station is dressed for service. Recovery between adjustments is prompt at this power rating, though it is worth noting that a 2,000W unit is intended for holding and light cooking rather than high-throughput production work.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Presentation-ready finish suitable for guest-facing service areas
• Remote control allows discreet temperature adjustment during service
• Five power levels support a range of holding and cooking requirements
• Compact footprint fits within most standard buffet and event layouts
• Wipe-clean surface keeps turnaround between sittings simple

The unit runs from a standard plug socket, so no fixed electrical installation is required. It is not dishwasher safe, and cookware must be induction-compatible — something worth confirming before service if the station is being introduced alongside existing buffet equipment. For sites needing higher output or continuous heavy-use cooking rather than holding and display, a more robust induction solution would be worth considering.

This station is best suited to hotels, event caterers, restaurants running buffet service, and hospitality venues where a clean, guest-facing presentation is important alongside basic temperature control.
