4.4 Key features of your hob
Your new SensePro® hob expertly guides
you through the entire cooking session. Refer
to the information below to discover several
of its best features.
Depending on the kind of food, you can use
Assisted Cooking with or without the Food
Sensor. For various dishes you get different
sets of functions.
Food Sensor - can be used in two ways.
It measures the temperature in functions
such as Thermometer and Pan Fry as well as
helps you accurately maintain the
temperature for different food types while
cooking Sous Vide or using functions such as
Poach, Simmer or Reheat.
Assisted Cooking - facilitates cooking by
providing you with ready-made recipes for
various dishes, pre-defined cooking
parameters, and step-by-step instructions.
You can use it with the Food Sensor, e.g. to
prepare a steak, or without it, e.g. to prepare
pancakes. The available options depend on
the kind of dish you want to make. In this
mode you can use functions such as Sous
Vide, Pan Fry, Simmer, Reheat, and many
more. Pop-up windows and sounds inform
you when the pre-defined temperature is
reached. You can access Assisted Cooking
from the Menu.
Sous Vide - a method of cooking vacuum-
packed food in low temperature, for a
prolonged period of time, which helps you
save vitamins and maintain the flavour. Your
hob provides you with clear settings and
instructions to follow. Once you select the
function via Assisted Cooking, the
temperatures are defined for different food
types. You can also choose your own
temperatures if you activate the function via
Sous Vide in the Menu.
Pan Fry - a frying method with
automatically controlled heat levels,
dedicated to various types of food. It helps
you avoid overheating of food or oil. You can
activate it by selecting Assisted Cooking from
the Menu.
Thermometer - with this function the Food
Sensor measures the temperature while
cooking. You cannot use it when the Assisted
Cooking function operates.
Other useful features of your hob:
Melting - this function is perfect for
melting chocolate or butter.
PowerBoost - this function quickly boils
large quantities of water.
Pause - this function lowers the heat
setting to 1 for all cooking zones, enabling
you to keep the food warm for a long time.
Bridge - this function allows you to
combine both left side zones and use larger
cookware. You can use it with Pan Fry.
Hob²Hood - this function connects the hob
with a special hood and adjusts the fan
speed accordingly.
Lock - this function temporarily disables
the control panel during cooking.
Child Lock - this function disables the
control panel while the hob does not operate,
preventing accidental use.
Stopwatch, Count Down Timer, and
Minute Minder - are three functions that you
can choose between to monitor the cooking
time.
