AEG-Electrolux MaxiSense hob features flexible induction sections

(08/03/2010)

Induction technology offers extremely precise temperature control because it generates heat directly in the pan itself. An electromagnet beneath the glass surface creates a powerful field which heats the pan itself directly (technically, it’s a process call ‘the Joule effect’). Because the heat is generated in the pan itself, temperature can be adjusted instantly – you don’t need to take a pan off the hob to stop it boiling over.

Another advantage of induction hobs is safety. Since the burner itself doesn’t heat up, the area surrounding the pan is always safe to touch and the residual heat beneath the pan dissipates quickly. And if no pans are on the hob, the cooking zones do not heat up even if they are turned on. A temperature sensor prevents overheating and switches off the power.

Because induction cooking doesn’t have to heat up a burner first, it is also extremely energy efficient. Induction hobs recognize whether or not a pan is placed on the cooking zone and what size it is. Only the bottom of the pan is heated and not the total area of the cooking zone. This means that there’s no wasted heat from a burner that’s larger than the pan. And the moment a pan is removed, the energy field stops working and no more power is used.

What is so controllable you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, yet has instant high heat so you can sear meat or fish in seconds? Uses heat only when the pan is on it? Is faster than gas, more efficient than any other hob, safer than any other type of hob, and you can even cook with a £50 note between the pan and the hob as the hob itself does not heat up? What can even accommodate almost any size or shape of pan? The AEG-Electrolux Maxisense Induction hob is all of these and more!

Come and see the AEG-Electrolux MaxiSense hob which features flexible induction sections, so you are no longer tied to specific pan shapes or sizes. Pans can be placed anywhere on the hob as long as the section marker is covered, eliminating the restriction of traditional specific zones. What’s more this hob also features DirekTouch controls which make temperature control even more responsive and precise.

This model, the AEG-Electrolux MaxiSense HK953400FB Induction Hob is in the shops now (seen at around £870.00).
