Description

Product Description Flexible Zones This induction hob is more flexible than other, the two heating zones can be used as a single big zone(for bakeware/barbecue pans) The flex zone can reach a maximum power of 2500W 99 Min Timer The induction hob can be set on a timer of up to 99 minutes, allowing you to keep cooking when you're busy with other things. Safer kitchen The induction hob is equipped with a safety lock function to prevent pets and children from accidentally touching it during the cooking process in order to avoid accidents. When the child lock is pressed, "LO" is displayed. Press the safety lock for 3 seconds to unlock Easy to clean The sturdy black crystal plate glass surface is clean and hygienic enough to be wiped with just a damp rag on a daily basis; We have included a cleaning squeegee so you can clean some stubborn stains. Review: Good Induction Hob - We have a very small kitchen separate from our kitchen / dining room (which has an oil fired Aga). Up until now we've been using a portable single plate induction hob to save firing up the Aga, but it was a bit limiting with only one pot at a time. The only space we had for a built-in hob is between the sink and the freezer, but our washing machine is below this limiting the thickness / depth of a hob. This Noxton one is the thinnest we could find at just 44mm from the base of the glass, and it fits perfectly with plenty clearance. It's really easy to fit, just cut the worktop with a jigsaw, fit on the clips and drop it in, then add a bit of silicone sealant round the edge. The hob works well, although it doesn't register our smallest pot on either zone. With the plug-in version you can't run both zones at full power, it adjusts the power to a maximum of 2,500W (both zones at full power would be 2,800W, 1,200W for the front and 1,600W for the rear). In practice you don't really notice this. The fan is quite noisy (although not as loud as our old portable one), and with both zones in use it occasionally makes a strange squealing noise! We tend to use the front zone when cooking with a single pot. Because it's completely flat it's ideal for a worktop, you can lay things on it when not in use. It cools down very quickly - much quicker than halogen or ceramic - and the lock function ensures it can't switch on accidentally. The timer is handy, it turns both zones off on completion. Overall I would recommend this as a plug-in two zone hob, if you need the extra power then you can get the hard wired version. Review: Good for my priorities - This is my third try at double induction hobs. So far this one has not burned out or stopped working like the first two. It does a great job heating up fast and searing meat quickly, like for stir-fry, and cooks on low heat well too. Too bad the timer doesn't go longer than 90 minutes, but, it's not meant to be a slow cooker... It is a bit quirky in how to set temperature and time, but once you get the hang of it, it's second nature and even fun. Quite noisy, I measured it on two decibel meter apps and it hit between 60 and 64, louder than conversation. But overall a good value for the price.
