What is a bridging hob?
When you're on the hunt for a new induction hob, you may stumble upon a flurry of jargon and technical terms. It's tricky deciphering what's essential, what's a nice-to-have, and what's superfluous for your personal cooking habits. One term that often crops up is a 'bridging function', which proves invaluable if you frequently use large griddle pans or sizable saucepans.
So, what does the bridging function on an induction hob mean?
A bridging hob is a versatile cooking platform allowing you to customise the size of your cooking zones to meet your specific needs. This flexibility opens up a whole new world of pan sizes and types, including griddle plates and fish kettle styles. Bridging technology allows you to transition between individual cooking areas or unite them to form larger zones. For instance, you can create a virtual 'bridge' connecting the front left cooking zone to the rear left one.
A host of induction hobs with a bridge function will showcase one or more 'bridging zones' on the surface. This expansive cooking area can be used separately by activating either the front or back part of the zone.
Typically, you can only bridge two out of the four cooking zones on most hobs, which still leaves you another two zones for cooking. Alternatively, both zones can be united to form an extra-large cooking area. The bridging function simplifies the use of large or irregularly shaped pans or casserole dishes.
