Benchstar is a value-focused benchtop brand with an unusually wide product range — from small fryers and griddles to bain maries, drink machines, microwaves and more.
View all Benchstar products→The Benchstar IW500 is a 5 kW ceramic induction wok with a stainless-steel body for restaurant and café kitchens using compatible rounded-bottom cookware. It requires a hardwired 415 V connection and comes without a plug.
Consider the IW500 for a medium to large restaurant or café adding an electric wok position. Its 280 mm wok ring, compatible cookware requirements and hardwired electrical connection are the main selection checks; the knob provides direct access to the power settings.
Start with the cookware you intend to use. Match its material and rounded-bottom shape to the induction wok, then check its fit against the 280 mm ring.
Plan the electrical installation before choosing the bench position. The IW500 requires hardwiring without a plug; have an electrician check the appliance rating plate and the site's circuit requirements before connection.
Choose between electric induction and the kitchen's gas arrangement. The WW-1N offers a waterless natural-gas single-wok configuration, while the WW-2N provides a waterless natural-gas double-wok configuration.
