CookTek® PLD162CS-200 Drop-In Induction Plancha

16.55" W x 27.89" D • 12" x 23" steel cooking surface • 7 kW

Built for back-of-house pros who need blazing heat without the hot kitchen, the CookTek PLD162CS-200 combines powerful 7 kW induction technology with a durable drop-in design. From delicate tortillas to sizzling steaks, reach 350 °F in under 5 minutes and 500 °F in under 9—then hold that heat evenly from edge to edge, cook after cook.

Key Advantages

  • Instantaneous recovery: microprocessor-controlled induction keeps temperatures rock-steady for consistent results and faster ticket times.
  • Wide 325–525 °F range: 10 precise temperature or power settings per knob handle everything from breakfast flatbreads to dinner entrées.
  • Low radiant heat: a cooler, more comfortable kitchen compared with gas or electric griddles.
  • Grease management made easy: full-perimeter moat channels drippings into two removable drawers for quick, mess-free cleanup.
  • Advanced safety: automatic shut-off, hi-temperature surface protection and continuous component monitoring prevent overheating.
  • Drop-in convenience: clean stainless housing disappears into the counter for a seamless cook line and easy wipe-downs.
  • Integral cooling fan: 140 CFM airflow keeps internal electronics at peak performance—even in 122 °F kitchens.
  • Certified & compliant: cETLus, NSF and CE listed for worry-free installation worldwide.
