| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Flexible use thanks to pot detection | Takes some getting used to for users of conventional hobs |
| Even heat distribution across a large heating zone | Higher price compared to hobs with a fixed structure |
| Responsive power levels with precise temperature control | Only induction-compatible cookware can be used |
| Easy to clean thanks to smooth glass ceramic surface | Cookware must lie flat for even heat distribution |
| Automatic bridge function for large pots and roasting pans | Accidental activation by metal objects (e.g. cutlery left on the hob) is possible |
| Timer helps you stick to cooking times with automatic switch-off | Complex electronics with higher repair costs compared to classic systems |
| Keep-warm settings with constant temperature | Sensitive surface |
BORA flush-mounted induction hobs combine flexibility, performance and ease of use. With flush installation, automatic pot detection and preset power levels, cooking becomes an experience. The elegant glass ceramic that forms the surface of the induction hob is available from BORA for selected appliances in a glossy and matt finish.
The definition of full-surface induction hobs and hobs with surface induction is not entirely clear-cut. Both types of hob feature automatic pot detection. Regardless of where the cookware is positioned on the cooking zone, it is heated with pinpoint accuracy by the electromagnetic fields beneath the hob. The two types of hob can be distinguished by their extractor: full-surface induction hobs often do not have a hob extractor in the centre. The modular systems BORA Professional 3.0 and BORA Classic 2.0, as well as the compact systems BORA X Pure, BORA M Pure and BORA S Pure, all feature a powerful extractor.
BORA induction hobs deliver high performance while consuming less energy. Heat loss is minimised thanks to direct heating of the cookware via the activated heating zone. Depending on the system, the hob is controlled via a control knob or stepless touch sliders that can be individually adjusted to preset power levels.
The flex zone on a surface induction hob ensures that the heating zone automatically adapts to the size and shape of the cookware. The flex zone is ideal for anyone who likes to vary their cooking or prepare larger quantities.
An induction hob, whether full-surface or a full-surface induction hob with a hob extractor, requires magnetisable cookware. If you only have non-inductive cookware, you will either need to upgrade your cookware or choose a different hob. People with pacemakers should generally seek medical advice before using induction hobs, as electromagnetic fields can cause interactions under certain conditions.
A damp cloth and the BORA cleaning set are all you need. The smooth glass ceramic surface can be cleaned without any effort.
Yes. BORA surface induction allows several pots and pans to be placed on the surface induction hob at the same time – ideal for creative menus.
Magnetisable cookware with a flat base is ideal. The flatter the base of the pot and the better the quality of the cookware, the more efficient the heating.
