Induction hobs generate heat directly in the cooking utensil. As the ceramic glass surface is heated only slightly, they are extremely easy-care as split liquids cannot burn onto the surface. The technology is therefore better suited for the use of white than the customary black ceramic glass. The customer is thus offered a genuine alternative when designing their kitchen ambience without having to compromise on performance. The white, designed to exude a living ambience is matched to the other Bosch “White Range” cooking appliances. Flush-mounted surrounding metal trims afford optimum edge protection and ease of cleaning.
