Hob

Smeg's MultiZone heating zone can be used as two independent cooking zones or combined into a single zone.

Each zone automatically adapts to the size and position of the dishes and is heated only where the pans locate, providing better heat distribution.

Induction allows for precise temperature control when doing intricate cooking, or simmering for example. Heat is only generated when the pan comes into direct contact of the specific cooking zone, ensuring safety in the presence of children. This helps optimise power consumption, only using the energy needed to heat the pan itself.

Induction is faster than gas cooking taking only a little over a minute to boil a pint of water. Another benefit is that any splashes will not burn onto the hob top and are easily wiped clean making it safe and user friendly.

Various special functions provide exactly the right level of heat for each type of cooking:

• Melting slowly melts delicate foods such as butter or chocolate
• Keep Warm keeps already cooked foods at the right temperature without burning them
• Simmering is used to make soups and sauces that need to cook slowly and for a long time without boiling
• Smart Pot Detection identifies where a pot has been placed and immediately activates the appropriate controls.

Finally, the elegant slider-based control panel allows the user to adjust the heat level by simply running a finger across the touch surface.
