AEG MaxiSense IKE64450FB 60cm Black 4 Zone Induction Hob

The AEG MaxiSense IKE64450FB is a 60cm wide, frameless induction hob designed for modern kitchen installations. It features four distinct induction cooking zones arranged to accommodate various pan sizes. The hob utilises electromagnetic technology to heat compatible cookware directly, offering faster heating times and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional electric or gas hobs. Its sleek, black ceramic glass surface provides a contemporary look while being straightforward to wipe clean. Key features include MaxiSense technology, which automatically detects pan size and position to optimise heat distribution. The Dual FlexiBridge function allows you to combine two adjacent zones into one larger cooking area for oversized pots or roasting trays. For rapid heating, the PowerBoost function delivers maximum power to selected zones, significantly reducing boiling times. Other practical features include precise slider touch controls, an acoustic timer with a 99-minute range, residual heat indicators, and multiple safety functions such as a child lock, control lock, and automatic safety switch-off. The hob is well-suited for households seeking a responsive and energy-efficient cooking surface. Its front-mounted controls make it easy to operate, while the cool-to-touch surface (except directly above the cooking zones) enhances safety, especially in homes with children. Professional installation is required, including a 32 Amp power supply and ensuring a minimum clearance above the unit. This model represents a balance of advanced induction technology and user-friendly design for everyday cooking tasks.
