Bosch HKS79R250A Freestanding Electric Stove

For homeowners seeking a compact yet powerful cooking solution, the Bosch HKS79R250A freestanding electric stove presents a sophisticated option. This 60cm electric freestanding oven features a sleek ceramic cooktop and is designed to bring professional-grade versatility to smaller kitchen spaces. Currently priced at $3,499.00, this appliance is manufactured in Turkey and carries a 2-year warranty.

Versatile Ceramic Cooktop

The cooktop is designed for flexibility, featuring four distinct cooking zones that cater to a range of pot sizes and culinary needs. The configuration includes:

• Simmer Zone (Right Rear): 1.2 kW.

• Medium Zone (Left Front): 1.8 kW.

• Extendable Oval Zone (Left Rear): 2.4 kW, measuring 17 x 26.5 cm.

• Large Dual Circuit Zone (Right Front): 2.2 kW, with adjustable diameters of 12/21 cm.

This variety allows users to transition easily from delicate sauce reduction to high-heat boiling. Safety is also addressed with a residual heat indicator, letting you know when the surface is still hot to the touch.

Multi-Functional Oven Performance

The oven is a powerhouse of features, offering a wide array of cooking modes to suit any recipe. Whether you are using Fan Forced, Fan Assist, or Turbo modes for even baking, or specialised settings like Pizza mode and Defrost, the Bosch HKS79R250A is equipped to handle it all. It also features a Bottom element, a Top element, and multiple grilling options, including Full grill, Half grill, and Fan grill.

Usability is a key highlight. The oven includes retractable dials for a clean aesthetic and a digital display with touch control for the clock, timer, and temperature settings. It also features a preheat indicator that provides both visual and audible alerts when the desired temperature is reached. For safety, the oven is equipped with a childproof lock, though the sources note this applies specifically to the oven rather than the cooktop.

Ease of Maintenance

Cleaning is often the most tedious part of cooking, but Bosch has included several features to simplify the process. The oven's interior uses catalytic liners on self-cleaning surfaces to help absorb grease. For deeper cleaning, the oven door and internal glass are removable, and the grill element drops down, allowing for easy access to the oven ceiling.

Expert Testing and Specifications

CHOICE experts evaluate this model through rigorous testing, providing scores for roasting, multiple shelf baking, and grilling performance. They also assess the cooktop’s efficiency by measuring boil time and its ability to handle delicate tasks like melting chocolate.

Additional "Good Points" noted in the sources include very good viewing through the door, a bright internal light located in the center of the oven ceiling, and the inclusion of telescopic runners for safer handling of heavy trays. The unit also provides extra utility with a built-in storage drawer at the base.
