puntloos Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So far, I've only encountered induction hobs whose actual heating rings are perhaps 10-15cm diameter. My largest pans are 30cm or such, which means that even though they claim to be heatspreading, food gets heated very unevenly, with anything in the center cooking (and then blackening) much faster than the rest. Does anyone have an induction hob where one-or-more of their burners actually is 30-ish cm? Or is that a physical impossibility somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I have a Russel Hobbs RH601H401B, have no trouble at all, even with my very light, cheap and basic pots and pans. It is possible to burn stuff, but I just turn the power down to 1 or 2 and stuff simmers away nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 IKEA do one and it turns the whole of one side into a single zone. Also seen they have brought out one with a built in extractor - £1150..!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joth Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Bora Pure X has 150 and 180mm zones but you can bridge them to create a 240mm zone. I don't understand the maths at work there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all marketing fancy pictures rather than just writing down in simple words what it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliG Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Siemens show multiple ones here that can work with a hob up to 30cm diameter, one even goes up to 32cm. The street prices seem to be in the £1150 range. https://www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk/productlist/cooking-and-baking/hobs/induction-hobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntloos Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 Thanks all, I guess I've just never been exposed to a modern induction hob Good to hear that some of them heat large areas, not just a hot-spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Here, for example, is a Siemens $£""%$£^$^$^$&&^%*&(*)_()&*&%^%%$£%$£%* with a Flexinduction Zone from Appliances Direct at £750, at 15% (already taken) off. https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/77641460%2f1%2fex879fvc1e/siemens-776414601ex879fvc1e-iq700-5-zone-induction-hob-hob F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the massive flexizone is overkill - I guess 24cm is fine-ish with the full pan diameter being 30 (at the top.. i think, so the base is probably pretty close to 25). I think my rings are 15cm. Result: Not the end of the world but annoying, not just with the pan but also while cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is 5 years old now but the current equivalent has a centre ring that 320mm diameter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't think there is any way to know the size of the induction coil without looking, not sure if the manufacturers want to show how simple the insides are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Salter Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The BORA X Pure has square induction coils which are 230x230mm when linked togther will be 460 x 230mm. All listed on the website. https://www.bora.com/fileadmin/downloads/327_datasheet_en_gb12965.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
