Know before you buy
FlexInduction allows you to combine multiple cooking zones into one large area. This gives you the freedom to use oversized pans, griddles, or multiple smaller pots anywhere within the flexible zone without being restricted to a specific burner size.
Yes, induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this cooktop.
AutoChef uses a built-in sensor to monitor the temperature of your pan, automatically adjusting the power to maintain a consistent heat level. This prevents your oil from overheating or your food from scorching, taking the guesswork out of tasks like searing or pan-frying.
Yes, through the Home Connect app, you can monitor the status of your cooktop from your smartphone. It also allows for synchronized operation with a compatible Bosch hood, so the ventilation can turn on automatically when you start cooking.
Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface of the cooktop, spills are much less likely to burn or bake onto the glass. The unit also includes a 'Wipe Protection' feature that lets you temporarily lock the controls so you can clean the surface without accidentally changing settings.
SpeedBoost provides a temporary surge of extra power to a specific element, allowing you to boil water or heat large volumes of liquid significantly faster than standard power levels.
