Fagor FTV2522C ceramic domino hob - 2 zones

The Fagor FTV2522C ceramic domino hob is 29 cm wide and combines with other modules to build a hob to measure. Its overall height is only 5,8 cm, which leaves room for the drawer below the worktop. Its two zones are radiant: an element heats beneath the glass and transmits heat by radiation through it.

Radiant differs from induction in its simplicity and its indifference to the pan used. No special pan is needed, no ferromagnetic base and no minimum diameter: the glass heats and transmits, whatever material sits on it. In return, heat-up is more gradual and the surface stays hot after switching off, which is worth knowing before choosing.

Nine power levels allow precise setting, from a simmer to a full boil. The controls are front sliders: your finger runs along a strip instead of pressing a button repeatedly, which makes going from one extreme to the other immediate. A timer completes the setup on both zones.

The surface is black, easy to maintain with a cloth and a product suited to ceramic glass. The appliance totals 3,000 W, weighs 4,7 kg and drops into a standard 52 cm deep worktop. Fagor keeps spare parts available for 11 years, and the 4,68 € WEEE eco-contribution is included in the displayed price.
