Temperature is adjusted instantly, by a simple touch, limiting the danger of boiling over. With such a hob melted chocolate, sophisticated sauces & other temperature-sensitive masterpieces become just a simple task. Boil Control automatically adjusts the operating power. After initially operating at maximum power, the cooking zone maintains the desired temperature to prevent boiling over or overcooking. The countdown timer can be set for up to 99 minutes. If the optimum cooking time for a particular dish is known from experience, the timer can be set & the hob will switch off automatically when completed. A beep will signal that the food is ready.
