With the AEG IBS64200CB induction cooktop, you can quickly serve a meal. All 4 cooking zones have a boost function. This means that you can quickly heat up a pot of soup or prepare rice. Did it go faster than you thought? The overflow protection automatically switches off the cooking zone when your pot overflows. If you have to simmer your stew for a certain period of time, use the timer. You can set the simmer timer, so you don't have to keep checking the clock to see if it's ready. You can easily set the timer to boil an egg or your pasta as well. And with the sensor buttons, you can select the right zone first. Then, choose one of the 9 settings.
