CATA IB 5003 BK Induction Hob | 60cm 3-Zone Cooktop

Elevate your culinary experience with the CATA IB 5003 BK, a state-of-the-art electric induction hob that seamlessly blends sophisticated design with powerful, efficient performance. Designed for the modern kitchen, this 60cm cooktop offers precision, speed, and safety, transforming everyday cooking into a true pleasure. The sleek black glass surface provides a minimalist aesthetic that integrates flawlessly into any countertop, while the advanced induction technology ensures your meals are cooked perfectly every time.

Experience the future of cooking with induction power. Unlike traditional hobs, the IB 5003 BK heats your cookware directly, not the hob surface. This results in incredibly fast heat-up times, remarkable energy efficiency, and a safer cooking environment with no open flames and a surface that cools down quickly. With nine adjustable power levels at your fingertips, you gain precise temperature control for any task, from a gentle simmer for delicate sauces to a powerful, rapid boil for pasta.

The CATA IB 5003 BK is engineered for ultimate flexibility and power. It features three versatile cooking zones, including an extra-large 280mm zone on the right, perfect for bigger pots, paella pans, or skillets. When you need a rapid burst of heat, the Booster function on two of the zones provides an instant surge of power, bringing water to a boil in record time and making searing meats effortless.

Navigating its features is simple and intuitive thanks to the front-facing Touch Control panel. A gentle touch is all it takes to select your desired zone, power level, or function, with an acoustic warning confirming your selection. For complete peace of mind, the hob is equipped with a suite of advanced safety features, including a safety lock to prevent accidental changes, a residual heat indicator for each zone, and an automatic safety shut-off if a pan is left unattended. The automatic pan detection system ensures the hob only activates when a compatible pot is in place, further enhancing safety and saving energy.
