Smart Surface Stovetops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Siemens EH675MN11E Intelligently Adjusts Element Size

— January 14, 2013 — Art & Design
The problem of matching a large skillet to a broad electric coil has been done away with in the design of the Siemens EH675MN11E Induction Hob. Whether you have three big pans or several small pots, each will have an element that's matched to its size.

Winner of a 2012 Red Dot Design Award, this hi-tech kitchen range has two halves that function differently. The right side presents the domestic chef with a pair of circular induction cooking areas while the left side has four open rectangular bays that sense the placement of an item on top. Based on the deduced diameters of the saucepans and frying pans that have been set down on this section, the Gestaltung Hamm design of the Siemens EH675MN11E Induction Hob will focus heat directly beneath.
