Bosch PVS61RBB5E induction hob 4 zones

The Bosch PVS61RBB5E induction hob brings four zones together under a glass surface 59,2 cm wide. Induction heats the pan itself through a magnetic field rather than the plate: energy efficiency clearly exceeds gas or ceramic. The surface stays cool away from contact with the pan, which limits the risk of burns and makes cleaning easier.

Seventeen power levels allow fine adjustment, from keeping warm to a full boil. That granularity makes the difference on delicate cooking, where a hob with five or nine settings forces a choice between too low and too high. A Booster function concentrates the available power on one zone to speed up heating.

Its touch controls sit at the front, a position that keeps them reachable without leaning over hot pans. A timer rounds out the package, with a total connected power of 6,900 watts. Its 5,1 cm depth allows fitting above an oven or a drawer, provided the 56 cm cut-out is respected.

Made in Spain, it weighs 12,3 kg and fits a depth of 49 to 50 cm. Bosch keeps spare parts available for 15 years, one of the longest periods in the catalogue. The 4,68 € WEEE eco-contribution is included in the displayed price.
