Material Quality | Heavy-duty cooking, commercial kitchens | Industry Standard: Stainless steel (ASTM A240) Our Base: Cast iron (EN 12475) Our Advanced: Reinforced cast iron + ceramic coating (ISO 10545) | ▲ Base: Durable, heat retention (retains heat 20% longer). ▲ Advanced: Scratch-resistant, 50% lighter. | Base: Heavier (2.5kg vs. Advanced’s 1.8kg). Advanced: Higher cost (+30%). |
Heating Efficiency | Quick boiling, high-heat cooking | Industry Standard: 800W electric heating Our Base: Gas-powered (12,000 BTU) Our Advanced: Dual gas/electric hybrid (15,000 BTU + 1,200W) | ▲ Base: Faster preheat (3 mins vs. Standard’s 5 mins). ▲ Advanced: Adjustable heat zones (4 zones). | Base: Requires gas hookup. Advanced: Complex installation. |
Temperature Control | Precision cooking (e.g., simmering) | Industry Standard: 3 heat settings (low/medium/high) Our Base: 5 preset levels (ISO 3778) Our Advanced: 10 precise levels (50°C–250°C) | ▲ Base: Simmer stability (±5°C variance). ▲ Advanced: PID controller for ±1°C accuracy. | Base: Limited flexibility. Advanced: Steep learning curve. |
Surface Type | Non-stick cookware compatibility | Industry Standard: Smooth glass/ceramic Our Base: Solid cast iron Our Advanced: Grooved anti-curl surface (ASTM C1316) | ▲ Base: Even heat distribution (ΔT < 10°C across surface). ▲ Advanced: Prevents pot warping (tested to 300°C). | Base: Requires seasoning. Advanced: Higher maintenance. |
Installation Type | Built-in vs. portable setups | Industry Standard: Freestanding Our Base: Built-in (custom cutouts) Our Advanced: Modular snap-fit system (IP65 rated) | ▲ Base: Space-saving (30% smaller footprint). ▲ Advanced: Easy retrofit (no tools required). | Base: Permanent installation.
