Extra cooking capacity, right where you need it

Add a compact cooking station to your café, restaurant or catering setup with the Buffalo CE208 3kW commercial induction hob. This single-zone countertop cooker combines a fitted 13A plug with straightforward rotary control, making it a practical choice when you need another hob for service.

Why choose the Buffalo CE208?

  • Adjust the heat to suit the dish: 26 power settings from 500W to 3kW give you control through a simple dial.
  • Make better use of your worktop: the 330mm-wide body provides an extra cooking zone without a full-size cooker.
  • Choose compatible cookware easily: accepts induction-ready pans from 120mm to 280mm.
  • Spend less time cleaning: a stainless steel body and smooth black ceramic-glass surface simplify wipe-downs once cool.
  • Reduce wasted energy: pan detection helps the hob operate efficiently.
  • Buy with added reassurance: supplied with a two-year parts and labour warranty, subject to manufacturer terms.

Use it as an additional station for sauces, pan cooking or made-to-order dishes. Its 5.6kg weight also makes it practical to reposition between suitable catering workstations.

Before ordering, check your pan compatibility, available worktop space and power supply. See the specifications and FAQs below, or contact Catering Base for help choosing your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pans work with the Buffalo CE208 induction hob?

Use flat-bottomed, induction-compatible cookware from 120mm to 280mm. Check the pan manufacturer's induction marking; a magnet sticking firmly to the base is a useful compatibility check. Stainless steel pans must have a magnetic base. Ordinary aluminium, copper and glass pans need an induction-compatible base to work.

Does the Buffalo CE208 need hardwiring?

No. The CE208 is supplied with a 13A plug and operates on a suitable 230V supply. Position it on a stable, level worktop and follow the manufacturer's instructions for ventilation and electrical connection.

Is the Buffalo CE208 suitable for a café or restaurant?

Yes. This commercial single-zone induction cooker provides an additional cooking station for cafés, restaurants and catering setups. Check that the 330mm-wide by 430mm-deep footprint suits your workspace, with the clearance required in the manual.

How do I adjust the heat on the Buffalo CE208?

Turn the rotary control to choose from 26 power settings between 500W and 3kW. These are power settings, rather than selectable cooking temperatures. Adjust the setting to suit your cookware and recipe.

What warranty comes with the Buffalo CE208?

The Buffalo CE208 comes with a two-year parts and labour warranty, subject to the manufacturer's terms. Keep your proof of purchase and contact Catering Base if you need help with a warranty enquiry.
