BLANCO’s new hob collection includes the very latest technology for high-speed, energy-efficient cooking. At the top of the pile of these superb new gadgets is the high-end BH467831 (pictured) a 78cm-wide ceramic induction hob with six surface

cooking zones, 14 heat levels, six sleek slider controls, residual heat indicators and complete automatic functionality.

Highlights include a flexible induction zone that accommodates multiple pans of varying sizes and a boost option which brings food to boiling point in seconds. Other clever touches include automatic pot localization, an automatic bridge for different heat levels on the same pot or pan, a grill function, pause-and-recall, and three keep-warm levels.

The hob looks stunning too; the front and side bevels are a classy touch and the deep black surface will complement all modern appliances. As with all BLANCO products, each piece is rigorously factory-tested to withstand many years of use. Each BLANCO induction hob comes with a complimentary BLANCO-branded oven glove and apron.

The new branding mantra for BLANCO in 2016, to reflect the company’s prowess in above-the-worktop perfection, is: COOK IT – hobs; EXTRACT IT – cooker hoods; LIGHT IT – lighting; and PREP’ IT - sinks and taps.
