Utilising fast-acting induction technology, the Zanussi ZEI8640XBA Induction Hob heats the pan, not the hob. Thanks to its clever, easy-touch controls and digital display, you can rely on precisely controlled heat at the touch of a finger for perfect cooking every time. Cook and go This is the ideal hob for busy people, with four self-sizing cooking zones that deliver heat direct to the pan, leaving the hob surface cool to the touch. Its Set & Go function can almost cook your dish on its own. Simply set the time and go - the hob will switch itself off at the end of the cooking time. Power boost Induction is the fastest method of hob cooking. And this hob has a short-term power booster that makes more power available to two of of its four cooking zones, to speed up the cooking process even more. All four zones also an Automatic Heat Up function to get a pan to the required temperature in a shorter time. The zone heats up at the highest heat setting for a short period until the pan reaches the desired temperature at which point the control reverts to the required heat setting. Easy cleaning Four different-sized cooking zones on this hob are suitable for pots and pans with a variety of dimensions, for easy, flexible cooking. With induction cooking, heat can be instantly cut if food is about to boil over and, if it does, it won't burn onto the hob's surface. You can just wipe it clean!
