Judge Induction Hob

A compact single induction hob with ten temperature settings from 60°C to 240°C, light enough to move between worktop, table and camper van.

The Judge JEA90 is a single induction hob built to move, not stay fixed to a worktop. At 2.4kg and just 27cm long, it suits students, senior citizens and camper van kitchens as readily as a family worktop or table, and it stores away just as easily once the cooking is done.

Ten temperature settings run from 60°C to 240°C, giving real control rather than a single blast of heat: low enough for a bare simmer, high enough for a fast fry. Spillages don't bake onto the surface either, so cleaning is a wipe with a damp cloth rather than a scrub, which matters on a hob that's meant to travel between worktop, table and van.

Ideal for

Student living

A single hob that needs no installation and stores in a cupboard suits a flat or student room where full-size cooking isn't practical or allowed.

Camper van kitchens

Light at 2.4kg and simple to store away, it suits van and caravan kitchens where space and payload are both limited and a permanent hob isn't an option.

A second ring

For anyone who needs an extra ring temporarily, overflow at Christmas, a broken hob, a rental without one, this sits on any worktop and needs nothing but a socket.

Key features

2000W of power

A 2000W element brings pans up to heat quickly, giving the JEA90 the output of a genuine cooking surface rather than a slow backup ring.

10 temperature settings

Ten settings between 60°C and 240°C move smoothly from a gentle simmer right up to a fast, high-heat fry, without any guesswork over dial positions.

2.4kg, 27cm long

Light and compact enough to lift in and out of a cupboard, or to travel to a camper van, student flat or second kitchen.

Wipe-clean surface

Spillages don't bake onto the glass top, so a damp cloth after cooking is usually all the cleaning it needs.

Built for tight spaces

Judge designed this particular hob for students, senior citizens and camper van kitchens, where a full-size built-in ring isn't practical.

Black glass finish

A black glass top and compact body suit a worktop, table or van kitchen without drawing attention to themselves when not in use.

More to know

Why induction suits small kitchens

Induction cooking heats the pan directly through the glass surface rather than heating the surface itself first, which is why Judge can promise that spillages don't bake on: the glass around the pan never gets hot enough to scorch food that lands on it. For a hob that's meant to live on a worktop or table rather than behind a hood and splashback, that's a practical advantage, not just a selling point, less scrubbing, and less risk of a burnt-on ring that never quite comes off.

Ten settings, real control

A single dial position marked 'high' tells you very little about what's actually happening in the pan. The JEA90's ten settings, running from 60°C to 240°C, give a working range wide enough to hold a sauce at a bare simmer at one end and sear at the other, which matters more on a portable hob than on a full cooker, where a second or third ring is usually on hand to fall back on.

Built to move, not just sit

Most induction hobs are sold as a fixed kitchen feature, installed once and left in place. The JEA90 takes a different brief: Judge markets it for students in rented rooms, senior citizens who want a lighter hob to lift, and camper van kitchens where every appliance earns its place by weight. At 2.4kg and 27cm long, it stores in a cupboard when it isn't needed and comes back out in seconds, plugged in and ready, with nothing fixed to a wall.
