The Access-range BTC35 induction hob is the entry into professional induction cooking: 3.5 kW on standard 230V, 330×420 mm format, 13 kg. It meets the most common need in fast catering — adding a cooking post with no works, no specialist connection, no disruption to the existing kitchen. Set down, plug in, heat.
For which establishment, for which daily use?
- Snack and sandwich shop: reheating sauces, cooking garnishes, holding preparations. The hob complements a panini grill or a toaster with no new electrical circuit.
- Café and light brasserie: serving hot soups, reheating the dish of the day front or back of house. The compact format fits on a trolley or a corner of the worktop.
- Caterer and event kitchen: a mobile cooking post for outdoor service. 13 kg, 330×420 mm and a standard socket — it travels in a vehicle boot.
- Supplementary post: a kitchen already equipped with gas or glass-ceramic that lacks an extra burner in the rush. The Access 3.5 kW hob installs with no plumber or electrician intervention.
Limit to know: the Access range is designed for occasional to regular use, not to run 8 h continuously at full power. For a full restaurant service with intensive induction cooking, the Intense range (PIS30 or PID30) offers electronics and cooling suited to permanent use.

What restaurateurs ask
- What is the difference between the Access and Intense ranges for a professional induction hob?
- The Access range (BTC35/BTC50) is designed for occasional to regular use — a few hours per service, no permanent all-day operation. The Intense range (PIS30/PID30) has reinforced electronics and a cooling system for continuous use in a full restaurant service, with no overheating risk over a whole day.
- Can an Access induction hob be used all day in catering?
- For a snack with a few daily services, yes, no problem. For a brigade in continuous service from noon to evening, 6 to 8 h of uninterrupted operation, the Intense range is recommended. It is designed for this use; the Access range risks overheating and an automatic safety cut-out over the long term at this pace.
- Is this 3.5 kW hob enough to quickly boil a large pot?
- For a 10 to 15 litre pot, 3.5 kW is enough but the rise to boiling takes longer than a high-power gas burner. For larger volumes (20 L pot and up), the 5 kW BTC50 or a gas burner will be more suitable. The 3.5 kW hob excels on tilting pans, frying pans and standard-format pans.
- What pan size can be used on this 330×420 mm hob?
- The effective heating zone covers the central surface. Flat-bottomed pans and pots of 20 to 30 cm diameter are in the optimal range. Wider containers (>32 cm) may overhang the active zone and heat less evenly. For large pans or wide woks, the BTC50 with its 460×560 mm surface is better suited.
