The Bosch PXV851FC1E Induction Hob has an elegant, appealing design with bevelled front and sides and gives you accurate, fast cooking every time thanks to a timer on all zones and 17 power levels. Electromagnets heat any metal pan rather than the surface making for fast heating, automatic pan recognition ensures the hob doesn't turn on until it senses a pot or pan, so won't heat anything accidently left on the hob. As well as 3 induction zones to choose from, there is also a FlexInduction zone, which is a large free cooking space that takes up two hob zones allowing you to place multiple and odd-shaped pans anywhere on the zone, so you can cook the way you want. The PowerBoost function adds even more power to speed up the cooking process. For example, you can now boil 2 litres of water almost three times as fast as on a conventional glass-ceramic hob. Use the front touch controls to select the cooking zones and the specific power level you want – directly and rapidly. It also features a practical Energy Consumption Display as well as a QuickStart and ReStart-function.
