Event Description

This two-part class will start with a broad overview of all the induction cooking and holding products available in the marketplace or in development. There is a lot of activity from manufacturers, from small countertop single hob units to full-size induction woks and ranges.

In the second part of the class, Chef Mark will demonstrate several induction technologies, illustrating the advantages of induction cooking and holding using several different food types and cooking techniques. Learn how induction technologies will lower operating costs, help create the future kitchen, and find out how to get utility rebates for purchasing induction equipment.

  • Describe the various induction technologies available for commercial kitchen operations
