New from De Dietrich; The DTi1049X 93cm Induction Hob with Continuum Zone
As a pioneer of ground breaking technologies, the De Dietrich name is synonymous with beauty and innovation. Creating kitchen appliances aimed at a premium audience, De Dietrich continues to be at the forefront of futuristic concepts in cooking, cooling and washing. The new collection of energy efficient contemporary products is truly ahead of its time, and designed using the quality and expertise that exemplifies the De Dietrich brand.
Featuring new minimalist serigraphy, the 93cm DTi049X is the biggest and most powerful induction hob in the range, with four / five independent zones including the largest single induction zone at 28cm. Also featuring the latest induction concept devised by De Dietrich; the Continuum zone, this stunning hob offers the best possible cooking options always using the the least electricity. It is designed with a stylish brushed stainless steel and glass bevelled edge at the front and back of the hob and features touch controls with 15 power levels. Together with a smart Boost function, there is also a 99-minute timer for each zone and ten safety features.
Induction, pioneered by De Dietrich
Induction cooking was developed by De Dietrich for consumer use, and works using a simple principle: when a suitable pan is placed on the cooking zone, magnetic coil inductors beneath the ceramic glass surface react at the touch of the controls to instantaneously conduct heat directly through the pan. This means there is negligible heat loss, so the hob is economical as it uses the least electricity, making it environmentally-friendly. It is super fast, as the heat is direct and immediate – double the speed of gas. It is totally controllable, as each adjustable power level is precise every time the hob is used. It is super safe, as the surrounding glass surface does not heat up; therefore any splashes from the pan never burn on to the hob. It is also supremely easy to clean, just a wipe down with a damp cloth and some hob cleaner, if necessary.
Advanced cooking options only available using induction
As a result of the amazing adjustability provided by induction, the lowest 50W power level on this hob is so low that melting chocolate can be performed without using a bain marie, and the highest power level can sear meats in a matter of seconds.
28cm Induction zone
The most powerful single cooking zone available, the 28cm zone is perfect for frying or searing meat. At 4.6kW, it offers unprecedented levels of heat.
Continuum Zone – induction innovation from De Dietrich:
The Continuum zone offers the ability for the first time on an induction hob to cook using a large casserole or fish kettle. By simply pressing the two single independent touch controls simultaneously, the specified left hand zone becomes one large 40cm cooking area which incorporates myriad inductors and creates the most powerful single zone ever, at 4.6kW. However, the zone also segments into two separately controlled areas and a number of pans can be placed on either side to cook at separate temperatures.
Boost Function:
The Boost function will instantaneously heat to the highest power level, all at the single touch of the controls.
Touch Controls – perfection and precision with touch sensitive controls:
All De Dietrich induction models in the new range feature precision touch controls with 15 power levels plus direct access to the three most commonly used power levels. To the left of the hob they highlight the choice of zones and to the right of the hob they suggest programmes and power levels. Each zone also features a 99 minute timer, so each zone can be set in advance to switch off at the same instance.
Start Control – exclusive to De Dietrich:
As many recipes taste far better when cooked in advance, the Start Control function on this hob allows the ability to set the power level, start and end cooking time in advance, to simmer or reheat casseroles and stews so they are ready when required. This means food can be prepared for when you return from work, or a day out, with no need to wait.
Power Tracker - exclusive to De Dietrich:
Should the pan need to be moved, from front to back, for example, a unique ‘power tracker’ will follow the pans movement so the temperature will remain constant, wherever it is situated. It can then be controlled as normal in it’s new postition.
Time Elapsed Indicator:
A further ‘time elapsed’ indicator will identify the time each pan has spent cooking on the hob. This is extremely useful if a number of pans are being heated on the hob simultaneously, and different cooking times are required for perfect results.
An unprecedented level of safety features:
As with all De Dietrich induction hobs, this model features ten separate safety features, making it not only the safest hob, but the safest induction hob on the market. These safety features include: Anti-overheat, anti-overflow, child safety lock, automatic pan detection, small object detection, automatic stop and residual heat indicators.
