TAG Introduces New Range Of Induction Hobs With Super Flexible Bridge Zone

ATAG, the Dutch company famous for its technologically advanced built-in kitchen appliances for those who are passionate about cooking, has introduced three new induction hobs to its 2012 range, all offering enhanced flexibility.

The three new additions to the ATAG induction hob range all feature bridge zones; two rectangular cooking zones which can be connected together at the touch of a button, creating a single extended zone. This gives the consumer a bigger area for more flexible cooking, and is ideal for larger pans such as a fish kettle. It can also be used with a teppan yaki pan, allowing the consumer to quickly and easily create delicious, healthy dishes.

ATAG has chosen to introduce three induction hobs with bridge zones to its 2012 product portfolio, each of which are of a different size or configuration to enable the consumer to choose the style which best suits their requirements. The range includes the three zone HI6271SV, four zone HI6271MV and five zone HI9271SV.

Alongside the increased flexibility offered by the bridge zones, these hobs feature a stylish black glass design and pre-set programmes for stir-frying, roasting and grilling.

Bill Miller, ATAG's Sales and Marketing Director, says: "Induction hobs are really growing in popularity as people become ever more aware of the huge benefits they offer in terms of speed, efficiency and safety, and as a result of this it is a market that is constantly developing.

"ATAG's new induction hobs with bridge zone capability are a clear example of the advanced functionality available in modern hobs, providing the consumer with real flexibility alongside other practical features such as useful, time-saving pre-set programmes and a wide power range for different cooking styles. They are ideal for those who love to entertain, and want superior appliances to create meals that will impress their guests!"
