Designed to give you total control, the AEG HK654400XB Induction Hob detects pot dimensions how ever large or small and sizes cooking zones to fit their bases exactly. It features four cooking sections with a bridge function, enabling you to link two cooking zones together to accommodate large or long pans. Precise cooking With induction heating, your pan heats up faster so that you can bring water to the boil quicker than with any other type of hob. It can also create such gentle heat that you can melt chocolate without a bain marie. It only heats the pan - and not the hob itself - which is more energy efficient and ensures that the surrounding area stays cool and is safe to touch. And that means spillages can be safely and easily wiped clean during cooking. Total control The hob's Direct Touch controls help you to get perfect results every time you cook. Slide controls let you turn the heat up, down or off with such accuracy that you get the response you want at just the right moment. Whatever mouth-watering meal you're cooking, induction helps you make it just the way you want to. Combination cooking This hob can easily cope when you're cooking large amounts - or simply with bigger pans. Just touch the Bridge button to link and control two cooking zones together to fit any large or long pan, such as a fish kettle. Sharing the same temperature and time setting, the linked zones are ideal when you're cooking for dinner parties or bigger celebrations.
