Is the entire CERAN® cooktop heated when cooking?
No. Due to its low transverse heat conductivity, only the heating elements, the cooking zones, are heated. All unheated zones remain relatively cool. Also working surfaces and furniture elements remain cool due to this very same reason, offering additional protection against any potential burns. The increasingly popular induction heating technology is unique. An electromagnetic field directly below the CERAN® cooktop generates heat directly in the pot or pan and not on the cooking surface itself. Therefore there is virtually no heat transmission to the surrounding cooking zones. Only the heated pot or pan emits heat to the surrounding cooking zones. Nothing happens with the pot – the cooking zone stays cold. This offers additional protection against burns, in particular for families with small children. A further safety bonus!
