. Traditionally we cook by generating heat from one source such as a flame and conducting it to another. The Fisher and; Paykel Induction Hobs work on a different principle. The hob itself produces an electromagnetic field which induces the pot or pan to generate its own heat. The results are shorter heat-up times greater precision and a safer cooking surface. Beautiful to Use . Instant Response Go from a boil to a simmer in seconds. Fisher and; Paykel Touchand;Slide controls react immediately when you adjust the temperature so you don’t waste time in the kitchen. Safer Choice Induction hobs only start heating your pot or pan once you’ve placed it on the ceramic surface and stop as soon as you remove it – so you don’t have to worry about curious little fingers or leaving an element on. Easy Cleaning The surface around your cookware stays cool when you cook preventing baked-on spills and making cleaning up a breeze. The durable ceramic hob surface just needs a quick wipe after use to maintain its good looks. Perfect Results . Enhanced Features PowerBoost and GentleHeat deliver either very high or very low heat fast for specialised cooking tasks such as searing meat and melting chocolate. An integrated timer keeps you on track. Precision Control Fisher and; Paykel induction hobs offer extremely accurate consistent temperature control from very high to very low heats so you can sear sauté and temper like a pro. Gentle on the Planet . Superior Efficiency No heat is wasted during induction cooking because only the cookware is heated not the surface of the hob. This makes induction hobs more energy-efficient than electric or gas hobs. 4 Elements with 9 power levels eachTouchand;Slide controlsPower boost functionAuto heat reduceGentle heatTimerHot surface indicatorsPan detectionKey lockSafety time-out featureSpillage auto-off function .
