CookTek® PL162CR-200 Freestanding Induction Half Plancha

16" chrome-top, dual-zone | 7 kW | 200-240 V single-phase

Built for demanding commercial kitchens, the CookTek PL162CR-200 pairs rapid-response induction technology with a sleek chrome surface to deliver consistent, controllable heat from 325 °F to 525 °F in just minutes. Two independent temperature knobs give you precise command over each 12" × 11.5" heating zone while an advanced cooling system keeps the exterior—and your kitchen—comfortably cool.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Two independent 7 kW induction zones for true multi-task cooking
  • 10 temperature settings per zone (325 °F – 525 °F)
  • Chrome cooking surface (12" W × 23" D) cleans in seconds and releases food easily
  • Grease moat wraps the plate and drains into two removable drawers—no drip mess
  • Near-instantaneous recovery: 350 °F in <5 min, 500 °F in <9 min
  • Low radiant heat keeps surrounding work areas cooler than traditional planchas
  • Microprocessor safeguards (overheat, voltage & component monitoring) with automatic shut-off
  • Stainless steel housing, removable air filter & high-efficiency fans for best-in-class component life
  • Certified cETLus, NSF & CE for worry-free compliance

Built for the Rush

  • Instant Heat: Induction transfers energy directly to the plate—no warm-up lag.
  • Consistency: Micro-adjusted feedback keeps each zone locked on temp, batch after batch.
  • Comfort: Reduced ambient heat and a cool-touch exterior create a safer, cooler line.
  • Efficiency: Uses up to 35 % less energy than gas or electric radiant planchas.
Important: Use only induction-ready cookware on the PL162CR-200. Non-compatible pans will not heat and may trigger safety shutdown.
