Where to buy the Kaiser KCT 3721 F hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCT 3721 F is a built-in ceramic domino hob with two QuickHeat radiant zones, including a 12cm/20cm dual-circuit ring. It combines FullTouch controls, individual zone timers, residual-heat indicators, a child lock and automatic switch-off in a compact 28.8cm-wide format. It is a sensible choice where worktop space is limited, but its two-zone layout and radiant ceramic heating are less suitable for demanding multi-pan cooking than a larger induction hob.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Compact 28.8cm domino format for space-conscious kitchens
- ✓ 12cm and 20cm pan diameters
- ✓ QuickHeat Hi-Light radiant elements with a 3.2kW total load
- ✓ Individual timers and a digital LED display
- ✓ Child lock, separate residual-heat indicators and automatic safety switch-off
- ✓ Black glass-ceramic surface with a front bevelled edge
Worth considering
- Only two cooking zones, so it is less suitable for preparing several dishes at once than a full-size hob
- The 16.5cm front zone and 20cm maximum rear ring limit the choice of very large pans compared with wider four-zone models
- Slower response than induction

Design and cooking layout
The Kaiser KCT 3721 F is a built-in ceramic domino hob measuring 28.8cm wide and 52cm deep. Its narrow format is easier to accommodate than a conventional four-zone hob, although it provides only two cooking zones.
Both zones use radiant Hi-Light technology. The rear zone is dual-circuit, with 12cm and 20cm heating diameters, while the front zone is 16.5cm. That gives the larger zone useful flexibility for different pan sizes, but the layout is not intended for extensive multi-pan cooking.
Heating performance
Kaiser specifies QuickHeat Hi-Light elements and a 3.2kW total connected load. The manufacturer also describes automatic heat reduction after initial heating, helping a zone reach the selected setting before reducing its output.
The ceramic surface is straightforward to use with ordinary cookware, but radiant ceramic technology retains heat after switching off and does not offer the instant pan response associated with induction. The residual-heat indicators remain illuminated until the relevant zone has cooled below 60°C.
Controls and safety
FullTouch electronic controls, an LED display and a timer or minute minder for each cooking zone give the a more capable control system than a basic dial-operated domino hob.
Safety features include a child lock, separate residual-heat indicators for both zones and Kaiser’s Safety Guard automatic switch-off. The front bevelled glass-ceramic edge is intended to make the surface easier to clean around the worktop cut-out.
Installation and ownership
The hob requires a 26.8cm by 50cm cut-out and has a stated appliance height of approximately 5.2cm. Its 220–240V electrical specification and 3.2kW connected load should be checked against the planned kitchen connection before installation.
At 4.5kg net, it is relatively manageable for a built-in hob, but installation and electrical connection should be completed by a suitably qualified professional. The compact dimensions are its main practical advantage, while the two-zone capacity is the main limitation.
