Chef CHI944BB Induction Cooktop

If you are planning a kitchen renovation and want a cooktop that combines a minimalist aesthetic with substantial cooking space, the Chef CHI944BB induction cooktop is a standout candidate. This 90cm induction hob, priced at $1,999.00, offers an expansive design that fits seamlessly into contemporary Australian homes.

Versatile Layout and Specifications

Measuring 90cm in width and 52cm in depth, the CHI944BB provides significant breathing room between pots, a luxury not often found in standard 60cm models. It features a sophisticated frameless design and requires an installation cut-out of 88cm x 49cm. The unit is organised with four dedicated cooking zones strategically placed to manage multiple tasks simultaneously:

• Large Zone (Left Front): Ideal for heavy-duty cooking and large pots, requiring a minimum pan diameter of 18cm.

• Medium Zone (Right Rear): Well-suited for standard daily culinary tasks.

• Two Simmer Zones (Right Front and Left Rear): Specifically designed for gentle heat management, accommodating smaller cookware with a 12.5cm minimum diameter.

Advanced Features and "Good Points"

What truly sets this Chef model apart are the specialised features designed to simplify the cooking process. The intuitive touch controls manage a suite of high-end functions that provide professional-grade control:

• Power Boost Setting: Delivers an extra surge of energy for rapid boiling or intense searing.

• Keep Warm Setting: An essential feature for hosting, ensuring your dishes stay at the perfect serving temperature without overcooking.

• Auto Heat Up: Manages the initial temperature surge to reach the desired cooking heat more efficiently.

• Pause (Stop/Go): A lifesaver for busy households, allowing you to temporarily halt all zones and resume them at the same settings with a single touch.

Rigorous Expert Testing and Reliability

To ensure this cooktop stands up to real-world demands, professional specialists at CHOICE subjected the CHI944BB to a comprehensive Expert Rating evaluation. The testing protocol scrutinised the unit’s cooking performance, boil time, and turn-down capacity—the latter being critical for delicate tasks like melting chocolate or simmering rice.

While manufactured in China, the CHI944BB holds a Shop Ethical rating of ‘C’ and is backed by a 2-year warranty, providing long-term peace of mind for your significant kitchen investment.

Conclusion

The Chef CHI944BB induction cooktop represents a robust investment for those seeking a stylish, feature-rich induction cooktop that prioritises space and precision. Its combination of a 90cm frameless surface, versatile heating zones, and advanced convenience tools makes it a sophisticated centrepiece for any contemporary kitchen renovation.
