Who Should Buy It?
- ✓ A strong fit for larger kitchens where a 90cm cooking surface is suitable.
- ✓ Useful for cooks who regularly use large pans, griddles or cast-iron cookware.
- ✓ The dedicated temperature and movement functions suit recipes that move between frying, simmering and keeping warm.
- ✓ A sensible choice for users with a compatible Novy cooker hood who want integrated control.
Flexible cooking surface
Five induction zones give the hob good capacity for preparing several dishes at once. Two Flexzones can link adjoining areas automatically, helping accommodate larger cookware without restricting pan placement.
The Bridge function is particularly useful for oversized pans, while the Grill function adapts the bridged area for cast-iron cookware. These features make the wide layout more versatile than a conventional fixed-zone arrangement.
Cooking controls and specialist functions
Each zone has a Power function for quickly increasing heat, while the melting and keep-warm settings support more controlled tasks. The supplied information specifies keep-warm settings at 70°C and 94°C, plus a 42°C melting setting.
Chef and Pot Move functions are designed to simplify transitions between frying, simmering and keeping warm. Stop&Go can temporarily disable the energy supply and restore the previous power levels and timer settings when cooking resumes.
Novy InTouch adds direct control of a compatible Novy cooker hood from the hob. This is a useful convenience feature, although it depends on having compatible hood equipment.
Who it suits
The 90cm format and five-zone layout make this best suited to larger kitchens and households that regularly cook with several pans. Its flexible zones should appeal to users who use large cookware or griddles.
The available product information does not provide installation dimensions, electrical-load details, timers beyond the Stop&Go description or safety specifications, so those points should be confirmed before purchase.
