This model offers a standard four-zone layout. There are two identical-sized zones on the left, then a larger one for bigger pans and small zone for smaller pans.

If you have an old gas hob and want to replace it with an induction model without having to install a dedicated 32A circuit, the 60cm Bosch Serie 4 PUE611BF1B could well be for you, since it runs off a standard 13A plug. It’s fast if using a single cooking zone, but its power limitations become evident when you want to use multiple zones at once. Design and FeaturesThe Plus and Minus buttons are used to move between power settings, but it’s a laborious and slow job, particularly since each zone has half-settings between full numbers, denominated by a “.” after the number. That’s a total of 17 settings – which, realistically, is too many to use; the standard of nine plus a boost would make more sense. As a result, it took the best part of 30 minutes under these conditions to bring 1.5 litres of water in a 20cm pan to 90ºC. What’s particularly frustrating about the Bosch Serie 4 PUE611BF1B is that its touch controls are ridiculously sensitive. Place an oven tray, or even a tea towel, over the controls, and the hob will start to beep constantly. It’s extremely annoying.
