Hobs induction

One of them is the bridge function that lets you join two hob rings to make room for larger pans. You can control the temperature for each ring separately via the touchscreen panel. This is an excellent alternative for those who love to entertain and can be a lifesaver if you have guests that have different dietary needs.
