Induction Stovetop Questions - Bridging mode

Alwin Meledeth
4 years ago

Hey

I have spent some day researching and have come to no satisfactory conclusion.

So currently I need to buy an induction stovetop and the question is:

Is the bridging funktion necessary?

Currently I am looking at something like this:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhimmlisch-wohnen.de%2F.bora-54279618-&psig=AOvVaw2wpgcgg7zL_FmiM8nmlAJi&ust=1583231209541000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNj61P7J--cCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

Is the bridging function necessasry. Can I just turn on both stovetops on the same level and heat up a pan or anything else over two stovetops. Or will there be magnetic interference and that is the reason bridging is always sold as a seperate feature?

Thanks for the help!

    Yes you can turn on two zones at a time with one long pan on top.

    If you use a longer pan or grill on a regular base, consider a flexzone, as these have multiple coils per zone, thus better heat distribution.

    And I'd suggest Siemens or Bosch.

      I assume flexzone is a proprietary name? I have a feeling every company has their own name for these features.


      Meaning flexzone is more important than bridging mode. I mean if I use a cast Iron man after some time the heat should be evenly distributed :D


      Are there any recommendation regarding induction stove tops on this site?

      Flex-zone means a zone has two coils and can be combined (=bridge) with the same zone next to it.


      No recommendation, only personal experience and salesmen, just google for reviews.

      AEG also do a bridging zone hob. I don’t have them on my induction hob but when it’s due to be replaced it’s definitely a feature I’ll be looking for.

      This is the hob we have, on the right hand size is a Flex zone which is really useful for bigger pans. We're very pleased with it.
