Gorenje, the Slovenian manufacturer famed for its creative and innovative appliances, welcomes the outstanding IQcook induction hob to its UK product portfolio.
Previously a concept product launched at the IFA Fair 2011, the IQcook induction hob, winner of a Red Dot Design Award 2012, is now available to all UK consumers. This revolutionary hob uses IQ sensors to measure the cooking process, monitoring it accordingly. These sensors, installed in the hob and on the pan lid, automatically adjust the operation of the hob, removing the need for direct cooking control on the part of the consumer.
The advantages of this new technology simply cannot be underestimated. The consumer no longer needs to constantly monitor the hob, allowing them to maximise their time while also removing any concern about interruptions when the hob is in use. Furthermore, these exceptional sensors do not just save the consumer time and effort – they also save money, as they can use up to 40 per cent less energy than a conventional induction hob.
Gorenje’s IQcook induction hob boasts a raft of other useful and highly advanced features to enhance and improve user experience. It offers several pre-set frying and cooking modes, including steam cooking, slow cooking and grilling, for real consumer flexibility. Meanwhile, Gorenje’s patented SmartSense safety function prevents food from boiling over or burning, and if the water evaporates entirely from the pot or pan, SmartSense automatically switches the cooking hob off.
Bill Miller, Gorenje’s Sales and Marketing Director, says: “Gorenje consistently pushes the boundaries in product design and technology, and the four zone IQcook induction hob is a superb example of this. Induction is, without a doubt, the hob style of the future, and the IQcook gives the consumer tomorrow’s innovation today. It minimises user effort and monitoring, allowing them to use the time as they wish – they truly can just leave the hob to cook for them!”
