Where to buy the Fisher & Paykel CIT302DX1 hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Fisher & Paykel CIT302DX1 teppanyaki hob is a 30cm auxiliary induction module built around a stainless-steel direct-cooking surface. Its two 1,400W zones can be used separately or together, with temperature control from 80°C to 220°C for warming, sautéing, frying and grilling. SmartHQ monitoring and paired temperature-sensor support add useful connected features, while the flush-installation design suits a carefully planned modern kitchen. Its main limitation is fundamental: it needs a compatible Fisher & Paykel primary modular induction hob and has no independent controls, so it is a specialist addition rather than a standalone cooking appliance.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Dedicated stainless-steel surface for direct teppanyaki-style cooking without separate pans
- ✓ Wide 80°C–220°C temperature range covering gentle warming through to grilling
- ✓ Two 1, 400W zones can be used independently or paired across the cooking surface
- ✓ Add useful control
- ✓ Compact 30cm format with flush or proud installation options for modular kitchen layouts
Worth considering
- It cannot operate independently and requires a compatible Fisher & Paykel primary modular induction hob
- There is no separate user interface on the auxiliary unit, so everyday control depends on the paired primary hob
- A specialist cooking surface but less overall cooking area than a full-width hob
- The stripped-end power connection requires planned hardwired installation rather than a standard plug-in setup

Design and installation
The Fisher & Paykel teppanyaki hob is a compact 30cm auxiliary module with a stainless-steel cooking plate and a 74mm overall height. It is designed for flush or proud installation alongside compatible Fisher & Paykel modular hobs.
This is not a self-contained hob. It must be paired with a compatible primary modular induction hob, and its controls are provided through the paired primary unit rather than through an independent user interface.
Cooking performance
The Fisher & Paykel hob uses induction heating beneath its stainless-steel teppanyaki plate and provides two independently rated 1,400W zones. The cooking surface can be used as a whole or as two separate halves, giving useful control when cooking different foods at once.
The published temperature range is 80°C to 220°C. That covers gentle warming, lower-temperature cooking, sautéing and higher-temperature grilling, while the manufacturer states that the surface maintains its set temperature as ingredients are added.
Features and controls
SmartHQ connectivity allows the cooking status, power level and timer settings to be monitored from a smartphone. The wider modular system can also use a paired wireless temperature sensor for temperature monitoring and alerts.
The paired-zone arrangement is useful for large items and for moving cooked food to a lower-temperature area. Surface-hot indicators are included, and the user guide provides dedicated teppanyaki operation rather than treating the plate as a conventional pan-support hob.
Practical ownership
The 300mm-wide format makes the Fisher & Paykel hob suitable for a modular kitchen where a specialist cooking surface is more useful than another full-size conventional hob. Its 12A electrical service and stripped-end power connection mean that installation needs to be planned with the kitchen and electrical work rather than treated as a simple plug-in appliance.
Cleaning is relatively direct because food is prepared on the stainless-steel plate without separate pans, although the exposed cooking surface needs prompt cleaning and suitable non-abrasive tools to preserve its finish.
