Hansa BHIW68308 white

All you need

The model of the German brand Hansa provides users with the basic features that most hobs of different price categories are endowed with, as well as several useful additional functions. Four induction hotplates (two 16 cm and two 21 cm) have a Booster function to increase power to maximum performance. As a result, meals cook faster and retain more nutrients, and you simply do not spend extra time cooking. But this mode does not work for long, about 10 minutes. Another similar function is automatic cooking acceleration (or automatic boiling). It works at a certain power, first increasing it, and then lowering the temperature to the set one. For example, for dishes that first require intense “fire”, and then slow simmering, boiling or frying.

After cooking is completed, the keep warm function is activated, which activates the minimum power and simply does not allow the dish to cool. At the same time, the temperature is maintained at about 65 degrees — so that the food remains warm and does not burn. This mode can also be used to melt butter, chocolate, etc. In addition, the device offers several types of timers. You can programme the operating time of a certain hotplate, after which it will turn off, or you can set the time using a minute clock, which simply emits a beep without affecting the operation of the appliance.

No burns

In addition to functionality, Hansa BHIW68308 cares about safety, both its own and yours. A child lock locks the control panel to prevent a child from accidentally turning on the device or changing settings, and a residual heat indicator indicates hot spots. To improve reliability, the surface is equipped with a time limiter for each burner. That is, this is the maximum working time, which depends on the selected power — from 1.5 to 8 hours. The limiter is activated if the power level does not change for a long time.

By the way, the model is available in black and white colours, but the latter is more like a milky colour.
