These companies introduced new induction products after NRA 2012.

COOKTEK’S SINAQUA INDUCTION FOOD WELLS
SinAqua induction food wells eliminate the need for water and steam without compromising food quality. No need for the plumbing or drainage that accompanies traditional steam tables. Cleanup at shift-end is fast and simple. The food wells maintain holding temps accurately and constantly, avoiding excessive temperature cycling, which can “fatigue” hot food. In comparative tests, the wells save more than 50% in energy costs compared with a traditional steam table, according to the company. The food wells work with standard pans, including most 18/8 (300 series) stainless food pans. Choose from either 4- or 2½ -in.-deep wells. Both depths are available in either 120VAC or 200-240VAC.

Using the optional temperature probe, it can achieve and accurately maintain temperatures from 120˚F-400˚F. A cleanable intake-air filter in the base keeps kitchen effluent out of the electronics while a full-width, steel, squirrel-cage-style fan keeps them cool. Timer, automatic over-temp shut-off and pan sensor are standard. An LED display shows cooking/warming levels and diagnostics/error codes. Heavy duty and portable, this countertop induction range features patented circuitry to ensure consistent performance throughout heavy-use saute/fry cooking (208/240V, 1 phase).

GARLAND GREEN HEAT BRAISING PAN
The innovative, built-in Garland Green Heat Braising Pan can cook the traditional braising-pan way, but also can be used as a 2-zone flat griddle. Induction technology provides instant heat and fast recovery, requiring less than 4 minutes to reach maximum temperature at startup. The control unit regulates temperature in increments of 5˚F and ranges from 95˚F-450˚F. The pan is part of the Module Line family, which means that the electronics can be remotely installed up to 15 ft. from the cooking area. Models available in 7kW and 10kW versions with two 3.5kW or 5kW cook zones, respectively. Green Heat was a 2013 NRA Kitchen Innovations award winner.

VOLLRATH MIRAGE INDUCTION RETHERMALIZER
The Mirage induction rethermalizer doesn’t require water for heating soup, stew, chili, mac and cheese or other kettle selections. The unit combines induction and rethermalizer technology. An 800W induction coil heats food evenly and efficiently. Heat transfers directly to the induction-ready inset, which eliminates the need to monitor and refill water levels. Three sensors have direct contact with the inset to provide very accurate temperature control and prevent food in near-empty insets from burning, which maintains food quality and reduces waste. Sensor readings also drive the Stir Indicator LED to tell you when to stir the product. Mirage units come in 7- and 11-qt. capacities in silver and red. You must use the included Vollrath induction-ready insets.
