Where to buy the Kaiser KCT 6745 FI AD hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Kaiser KCT 6745 FI AD hob combines a standard 59cm built-in format with two flexible cooking areas that can accommodate rectangular cookware or operate as four separate sections. Its induction heating, four boosters, keep-warm function, precise simmer control and per-zone timers make it well equipped for varied everyday cooking.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Two flexible cooking areas can be used as rectangular 40cm by 20cm zones or four separate 20cm by 20cm areas
- ✓ Rapid heating across the cooking surface
- ✓ Useful everyday precision
- ✓ Child lock, automatic shutdown and separate residual-heat indicators add a strong set of safety controls
- ✓ The flat black ceramic-glass surface is straightforward to wipe clean
Worth considering
- The 7kW connected load is substantial for a 59cm hob, making it less suitable for kitchens with limited electrical capacity than lower-powered alternatives
- The largest published flexible areas are 40cm by 20cm, so the layout is less expansive than wider hobs designed around very large single cooking areas
- When used as separate zones, the cooking areas are 20cm by 20cm; very large round pans may have better dedicated coverage on hobs with larger circular zones

Flexible cooking layout
The Kaiser KCT 6745 FI AD hob has four QuickHeat induction zones arranged as two flexible cooking areas. Each flexible area can operate as a 40cm by 20cm rectangular zone or as two separate 20cm by 20cm areas, making it more adaptable than a conventional four-ring layout.
This arrangement is particularly useful for rectangular cookware and griddles. The induction zones activate beneath the cookware, while the Power function provides extra heat when rapid heating is needed.
Controls and cooking functions
Full-touch slider controls provide direct adjustment of each cooking zone. The hob includes four booster functions, electronic simmer control and a keep-warm setting, giving it a broad range of everyday cooking options.
A timer and minute minder are available for each zone. Automatic shutdown, residual-heat indicators, a child lock and a digital operation display add useful safety and control features without requiring separate mechanical controls.
Installation and electrical requirements
The Kaiser KCT 6745 FI AD hob is designed for built-in installation and measures 59cm wide, with a 56cm by 49cm worktop cut-out. Its 5.5cm overall height should also be checked against the available space beneath the worktop.
The published connected load is 7kW at 220–240V and 50Hz. That is substantial for a standard-width hob, so the existing kitchen electrical provision should be checked by a qualified installer before fitting.
Surface, cleaning and day-to-day use
The one-piece black ceramic-glass surface has slightly bevelled edges and is designed to be wiped clean after use. Its flat finish avoids the raised pan supports associated with gas cooking.
The surface remains hot after cooking, but separate residual-heat indicators stay illuminated until the relevant zone falls below 60°C. This gives a clear visual reminder when cleaning or moving cookware is safe.
