Hotpoint TQ 1460S CPNE Black Induction Hob - 60cm with CleanProtect Nano-Coating

The Hotpoint TQ 1460S CPNE is a 60cm wide, four-zone induction hob designed for modern kitchens. It uses electromagnetic technology to heat compatible cookware directly, offering precise temperature control and rapid heating while keeping the hob surface relatively cool to the touch. The sleek, black glass surface is both stylish and practical, featuring touch-sensitive controls for a seamless appearance. Induction cooking is known for its energy efficiency, as it transfers heat directly to the pan with minimal waste, and this model includes several features to enhance safety and convenience for everyday use. Key features include the innovative CleanProtect nano-coating, which is applied to the glass surface to make cleaning significantly easier. This coating helps repel stains and marks, allowing most spills and burnt-on food to be removed with just water and a cloth, reducing the need for harsh chemical cleaners. The hob is equipped with a 'MyMenu' function, providing four automatic cooking settings: melting, boiling, keep warm, and slow cooking. These presets help simplify meal preparation. A boost function delivers a rapid burst of high heat for tasks like searing or boiling water quickly. For safety, each cooking zone has a residual heat indicator light that shows when the surface is still hot, and there is a child lock feature to prevent accidental activation of the controls. This induction hob is well-suited for households looking to upgrade their cooking efficiency with a focus on easy maintenance. The combination of automatic functions makes it accessible for less confident cooks, while the responsive touch controls and fast heating will appeal to more experienced users. Its 60cm width makes it a standard fit for many kitchen worktops and cabinetry. The durable, scratch-resistant surface and straightforward cleaning routine make it a practical choice for busy kitchens where convenience and safety are priorities.
