Candy CTP644MCBB/1 Induction Hob, 59 cm, 4 Zones, Black

Induction heats the pan itself rather than the glass, so the hob responds quickly when you turn the heat up or down. You get tight control for simmering a sauce or bringing water to the boil, and the surface around the pan stays cooler than on a traditional ceramic or gas hob. Bear in mind that induction needs magnetic cookware, such as cast iron or induction-ready stainless steel pans.

With four cooking zones, you can boil pasta, fry vegetables, simmer a sauce and keep a side dish warm all at once. That makes the Candy CTP644MCBB/1 a practical everyday hob for households that cook proper meals rather than just reheating. Spreading pots across separate zones also keeps your workflow organised, so weeknight dinners and weekend batch cooking both come together without juggling pans.

At 59 cm wide, this hob suits the common worktop size found in many Estonian flats and houses. That makes it a straightforward option when you are replacing an older hob or fitting out a new kitchen. Before ordering, check the exact cut-out requirements in the manufacturer's installation guide so the hob sits flush and securely in your worktop.

The touch controls sit flush with the glass, so there are no knobs to collect grease or get in the way when you wipe down. You set each zone with a light tap, which feels intuitive from the first use. A flat, uninterrupted surface also helps the hob look tidy and modern, especially in kitchens with sleek, handle-free cabinets.

The black finish blends easily with dark worktops and contrasts nicely with lighter kitchen fronts, giving the cooking area a clean, unified look. With a net weight of 8.00 kg, the unit is manageable to handle during installation. Like any glass-top hob, it is easy to keep looking smart with a quick wipe after cooking once the surface has cooled.

This hob falls under WEEE regulations (classification CL109:4:2017-04-01), so it is covered by the electrical waste recycling scheme when it eventually reaches the end of its life. It contains no embedded battery. The packaging is mainly paper and cardboard (1400 g) with a small amount of non-PET plastic (400 g), making it easier to sort and recycle after unboxing.

This model is a sensible pick for families, couples and home cooks moving from gas or ceramic to induction, as well as anyone renovating a kitchen with a standard 59 cm space. It also works well for landlords and flat owners who want a dependable, easy-clean appliance from a recognised brand. If you are after a no-frills induction hob that is a good deal, it ticks the essential boxes.
