Product Information

So, if you factor these costs into your budget, your debit card won’t scream as loudly when you’re paying. It comes with 2 boost zones for fast cooking as well as a bridge zone that combines two of the zones to create one larger cooking zone. Perfect for big dishes or trays. Not only enough room on your countertop, as it’s not fun not having enough open countertop space for prep work but also a wide enough cabinet underneath. Other things you'll have to get used to are cooking on lower power settings than you're used to – see mistake #5, above – or reducing cooking times. Induction may not involve flames, but it can be fierce. Oh, and of course, one other potential pitfall of the boost setting is that it can take liquids in a pan from tepid to boiling over in the blink of an eye. This can be highly dramatic, and will totally mess up your cooking surface and worktop, so don't get distracted and wonder off while heating up, for instance, pasta. 6. You can't cook as if you're still using gas

The second reason is if you don’t have enough depth in your countertop for a standard depth hob. Most regular induction hobs are around 50cm deep, so if you have a shallow depth countertop you may not be able to fit one in.

After all, induction hobs are expensive and so choosing the perfect one for your needs is really important. You could spend thousands on a hob with all of the features in the world, but if you aren’t going to use them, is there any point?

The flexible cooking zones allow you to bridge the gaps between cooking zones and increase the size of them. However, not all induction pots are made the same because some bases comprise a number of different metals including non-ferrous aluminium and copper which also happen to be excellent heat conductors. If you already have a 90 cm hob in your kitchen that you’re replacing, then a 90 cm hob is perfect for the job. And if you’re having a new kitchen installed, the world is your oyster (or hob in this case). By finding out which features you use on your hob all the time, you can really narrow down the perfect hob for you. Ease of use: We looked for practical, straightforward and intuitive hobs. Any elements that felt overcomplicated or in any way confusing meant the hob was marked down.Cost to run: We asked whether the induction hob was costly or relatively cheap to run based on our 10 minute pasta-boiling test. The Bosch PUE611BF1B features TouchSelect controls, which means that selecting the right mode to suit your cooking task is straightforward. Induction hobs are also frequently praised for their speed and energy efficiency and this is where this model really excels.

Features and functionality score highly too, with the JLBIIH806 boasting touch controls that are dead easy to use. There are practical touches on offer, with the hob having the ability to really give it the beans when you first power up and then ease of the heat once the zone gets to the desired heat. Similarly, the hob can be paused if you need to stop cooking for any reason, while the automatic shut off is a cool safety feature. Unlike ceramic or gas hobs that heat the entire pot or pan which in turn transfers the heat to its contents, electric induction hobs heat the ingredients directly using the invisible powers of magnetism. In fact, with the induction system, the pan itself becomes the heat source or element – electromagnetic waves magically penetrate the base of the pot and begin to agitate the electrons in the ingredients, which in turn creates heat for cooking. So, if you have a larger pot or pan, or a roasting tray you’re trying to reduce a gravy or sauce in, the flexible zones make this nice and easy.This can actually be useful for certain types of cooking, as you can move food to the outer edges so it stays warm but cooks more slowly, while you use the middle of the pan to properly sear more food. However, it can also cause problems if you're not aware of it. Given the amount of cooking power (7.35Kw) and useful tech it offers, this flagship AEG is outstanding value and well worth considering if you need something more versatile. It’s a great looker, too.
