Smeg has released a collection of five induction cookers varying in size from three and four zone 60 cm models to four zone 70 cm and 90 cm versions. There is also a 100 cm design with four cooking zones sitting side by side.

Induction technology works via a magnetic field that heats the actual saucepan or pot - not the cooktop.

Benefits include its ability to heat and cook food extremely quickly (faster than other types of cooktop) and its proficiency in maintaining extremely low and high temperatures. Induction is also highly responsive — a temperature adjustment at the controls is reflected in the cooking zone immediately, not gradually as with radiant ceramic elements.

A further advantage is its safety — the cooktop itself doesn’t get hot (only referred heat from the base of the pan) and there is no naked flame or gas. Additionally, the cooking zones have automatic pan-size recognition - and adjust accordingly - while automatically shutting down if there is an overflow or if a pot boils dry.

The new Smeg collection also features cross-hair design and easy-to-use fingertip slide controls. This new 'Boost' collection of cooktops delivers a power boost to each cooking zone whereby up to 3,000 watts of power is used to bring the zone to the desired temperature ultra fast. It then reverts to the pre-selected temperature.

The cross-hair surface design on each cooking zone gives a clear indication of the size of the zone, whereby the horizontal line is the maximum size and the vertical line the minimum. A pot can be placed anywhere within these markings and the zone will induct to the size of the pot.

The Boost induction cooktops come in black glass with bevelled edges and are designed to gently slope to the surface of the benchtop to create an almost seamless work surface.
