eControl Instaheat hob – price, benefits, running costs and installation

The eControl Instaheat hob was released on November 28.

The Instaheat hob is available as an optional extra when converting your Aga to eControl, or buying a reconditioned eControl Aga. The Instaheat hob is not able to be retrofitted and is only available for Series X eControl units.

The eControl series X conversion gives you sensational flexibility in how you use your Aga, and consequently, adding the Instaheat hob to your Aga will further bring down your energy prices.

With eControl being known for its high-level aesthetics, the Instaheat hob is of similar standards.

Located on the right on the two hobs, the Instaheat hob can heat up significantly faster than a standard Aga hot plate. The Instheat is also capable of reaching higher temperatures when needed, which is powered by a 2.5kw commercial-grade infrared heating element that makes ultra-fast high temperatures possible.

With the Instaheat hob, you are able to cook on the entire hotplate area, using multiple pans at the same time.

What pans can be used on Instaheat hob?

You are able to use copper, stainless steel & aluminium on the eControl Instaheat hob. Generally speaking, the best type of pans on ceramic hobs are heavy gauge coated aluminium or hard anodized stainless-steel pans with a thick base.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to use Le Creuset-style pot as stone, ceramic and glass pans do not conduct the heat well.
