With its stylish finish and ability to heat up quickly, the Gorenje ECT693CSC Ceramic Hob is an electric-powered appliance with an easy-to-clean surface that will bring grace to any kitchen. Four burners offer versatile cooking options, including an oval cooking zone for larger, wider pots. Total control Slider touch controls mean you can bring each cooking zone up to temperature quickly, easily and accurately. The hob comes complete with a countdown timer that can be set for up to 99 minutes. The timer switches off automatically when the cycle is complete and a beep signals that the food is ready. And, for the busy cook preparing multiple dishes, a useful BoilControl device prevents liquids from boiling over. Cooking Options Intended for oval and other, larger pots, the hob's FishZone cooking area offers an expanded cooking zone. When turned on, the conventional round cooking zone turns into a larger, oval-shaped surface that accommodates wide pots. Also, with the PowerZone burner, you can boost cooking power by 25% and speed up the process if you're in a rush. Warming function The hob's StayWarm function keeps food at a constant temperature of 70˚C until the time is right to serve the meal. The food retains its original flavour as it is maintained at a ready-to-serve temperature. It's a function that makes for easier entertaining, so you can chat with your guests, safe in the knowledge that the meal is all ready to be served precisely when the time is right. It's also a boon if there are latecomers! Stop&Go Convenience Use the Stop&Go function to halt cooking and continue with the same settings whenever you like. This way, you can pinpoint your timing with seamless ease. Other features: Residual heat indicator Safety control hob lock Child lock
