Brilliant hob

Recently moved house, couldn't stand the slow performance of the traditional electric hob after having induction hobs for the past 15 years. Having experienced great results with our Bosch washing machine the obvious choice was from the bosch range. The boost function is amazing. The response to adjustment of the hob control is instant. Love it!
