The Inventum VKI6010ZWA induction cooktop works with a normal 2-pin connector. You can place it anywhere close to a socket. All 4 cooking zones have a boost function. By boosting it, you heat up your pan at full power and quickly boil a pot of water. The pan recognition in the cooktop ensures that it's never switched on and consuming energy unnecessarily. If you remove the pan from the cooktop, the cooking zone switches off. Do you like to cook very precisely? Select the timer and the cooking zone switches off as soon as the spaghetti has cooked for 8 minutes. With this extra aid allows you to serve the pasta al dente, just like the Italians do.
