Bosch Benchmark Induction Cooktop

FlexInduction allows you to combine two individual cooking zones into one larger area. This is ideal for accommodating oversized cookware like griddles or roasting pans, ensuring even heat distribution across the entire surface.

Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, you must use magnetic-based cookware such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this cooktop.

The AutoChef sensor monitors the temperature of your pan and automatically adjusts the heat to maintain a consistent level. This prevents your food from burning or undercooking, making it particularly useful for tasks like searing meat or frying eggs.

Yes, the cooktop is Wi-Fi enabled and integrates with the HomeConnect app. This allows you to monitor your cooking status and receive notifications on your smartphone, though for safety reasons, you cannot turn the burners on remotely.

While the cooktop offers 17 precise power levels for everyday cooking, SpeedBoost provides a temporary surge of extra power to the induction element. It is designed to boil water or heat large volumes of liquid significantly faster than standard settings.

The frameless design is actually quite easy to maintain because there is no metal trim where crumbs or grease can get trapped. Since the surface is smooth ceramic glass, you can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or a dedicated glass cooktop cleaner once the surface has cooled.
