Cooking With The Latest Technology

An induction hob uses an electromagnetic field to heat up the cooking vessel directly, instead of heating up the hob surface. When a ferromagnetic pot or pan is placed on the hob, an alternating current is passed through the coil beneath the hob surface, which creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces an electric current in the base of the pot, generating heat and cooking the food. The hob is equipped with sensors that detect the presence of a cooking vessel and adjust the temperature accordingly. The absence of direct heat on the hob surface makes induction hobs more energy-efficient and faster to heat up compared to traditional gas or electric hobs. Additionally, induction hobs offer precise temperature control and are safer to use as the hob surface does not get hot, reducing the risk of burns or fire.

This induction hob is designed for easy and hassle-free installation. Unlike traditional hobs that require complex wiring and installation, the induction hob can be simply plugged into a power socket, and you're good to go. This feature not only saves you time but also money as you won't need to hire a professional to install it. The installation process is straightforward and can be done by anyone, regardless of their technical expertise.

The touch control operation of the hob is intuitive and easy to use. The touch controls allow for accurate temperature control, ensuring that you can cook your meals with precision. The hob also features a clear display that shows you the temperature and cooking time, making it easy to monitor your cooking progress.

With 9 power levels you can control the how you cook from a gentle simmer to a high heat, giving you the flexibility to cook a variety of dishes. For example, you can use a lower power level for simmering sauces or melting chocolate, while a higher power level is ideal for searing meat or boiling water. 

The Pause/Keep Warm functions of the hob are designed to make your cooking experience more convenient. The pause function allows you to temporarily stop the cooking process, while the keep warm function keeps your food warm until you're ready to continue cooking. This feature is perfect for busy households where interruptions can occur, ensuring that your food is always at the right temperature when you're ready to eat.

Induction hobs are known for their ease of cleaning and maintenance. Unlike traditional gas or electric hobs that have burners and grates that can be difficult to clean, induction hobs have a smooth, flat surface that can be easily wiped down. One reason why induction hobs are easy to clean is that they don't produce flames or heat on the hob surface. As a result, there are no spills or stains to clean up, and you don't have to worry about food getting burnt onto the hob surface. Any spills or food residues can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth or sponge.

The hob is designed for both 13 or 32 amp switchable connections, making it versatile and compatible with different types of electrical setups. This feature ensures that the hob can be easily installed and used in a variety of settings.

The induction hob features thermostatic temperature control that automatically switches off when the desired cooking temperature is reached, similar to how central heating systems work. This feature ensures that your food is cooked to perfection and eliminates the risk of overcooking or burning. Additionally, the hob is equipped with a residual heat indicator that warns you when the hob surface is still too hot to touch. The letter 'H' appears and flashes to alert you to the residual heat, preventing accidental burns or injuries. For added safety, the hob also features a child lock that prevents unauthorized access and stops prying hands from operating the hob. With these safety features, you can enjoy cooking with peace of mind and ensure the safety of your family in the kitchen.
