Siemens IQ-100 EU631BEF1B 59cm Induction Hob - Black

What's an induction hob Induction hobs heat the pan not the hob using an electrical current. Induction hobs can heat a pan faster than a traditional gas or electric hob, and are more energy efficient. They're also easier to clean, as you can wipe the hob shortly after using it. Remember, not all ceramic hobs are induction hobs. An induction hob can only be used with induction compatible pans. You can use induction kettles which are faster to boil than normal kettles with induction hobs. The fine degree of control over the power of the hob is also good for tasks like melting chocolate or making a sauce. Fast, safe, efficient and reliable, the Siemens EU631BEF1B high speed ceramic glass hob features 4 induction cooking zones, which automatically recognise the pan size for heat efficient cooking. Induction cooking gives almost instant heat and allows you to precisely control the temperature at which you cook. The EU631BEF1B also has a child proof lock, as well as an automatic safety switch off for added peace of mind. Contemporary touch controls make this Siemens hob straightforward to use, while also having the advantage of being very easy to clean. There are 17 temperature settings to give you a variety of cooking options, plus a power boost setting for that extra bit of heat. A reStart and quickStart function provide complete cooking flexibility at your fingertips. The powerBoost function increases power by up to 50 %. This can save up to 35 % of the time it takes to heat up pots or cook large quantities. Please note there should be a minimum height clearance of 65cm between an electric hob and the cooker hood above it.
