At a glance
This 60cm ASKO induction cooktop is a practical mid-range option for households wanting fast, precise cooking across four zones. It suits families and regular home cooks thanks to bridging, touch controls, pot detection and helpful safety features. Its main limitation is that the 60cm size can feel tight if you often cook with several large pots at the same time.

Things to consider
The 60cm surface is practical for most homes, but larger households or keen entertainers may prefer a wider cooktop with more space for big cookware on multiple zones at once.
Family cooking suitability
Well suited to small to medium families cooking two to four dishes at once.
Energy efficiency score
8/10 - induction cooking heats cookware directly, which is typically more energy-conscious than traditional electric radiant cooking.
Cookware compatibility assessment
7/10 - works best with induction-compatible cookware, so some existing pots and pans may need to be replaced.
Safety rating
8/10 - child lock, residual heat indicator and pot detection support safer everyday use.
Ease of cleaning
9/10 - the smooth ceramic glass surface is simple to wipe clean and has minimal crevices for food to collect.
Key benefits
- Four cooking zones: lets you prepare up to four dishes at once for everyday meals and family cooking.
- Bridge function: combines two zones to better accommodate larger pots, pans or griddles.
- Touch controls: makes it easy to adjust heat settings precisely with a clean, minimalist interface.
- Auto pot detection: activates the cooking zone when suitable cookware is placed in position, helping streamline meal preparation.
- Pause function: allows you to temporarily interrupt cooking and then resume, which is useful during busy kitchen moments.
- Built-in timer: helps with more accurate cooking times for simmering, boiling and finishing dishes.
- Child lock: helps prevent unintended control changes, adding peace of mind in households with children.
- Ceramic glass surface: smooth black finish with rounded corners gives a sleek look and is easy to wipe down after cooking.
Q: Will it work with my existing pots and pans?
A: No, not all cookware will work. ASKO HI2642FBG1 needs induction-ready pots and pans with a magnetic base. Aluminium or copper cookware only works if the base is magnetic, so some existing pieces may need replacing.
Q: Can I use a large pan across two zones?
A: Yes. The bridge function lets ASKO HI2642FBG1 combine two zones for larger cookware, which is useful for oversized pans or a grill plate. It still needs flat, induction-compatible cookware that sits properly across the joined area.
Q: Does the surface stay hot after the pan is removed?
A: Yes. ASKO HI2642FBG1 has a residual heat indicator to show when the glass is still hot after cooking. Induction heats the pan directly, but the surface can stay warm from contact heat and should not be wiped or touched straight away.
Q: Is there app control or Wi-Fi on this cooktop?
A: No. ASKO HI2642FBG1 uses touch controls on the cooktop itself rather than app or Wi-Fi control. It suits buyers who want direct manual operation, but it does not offer remote monitoring or smart-home automation features.
Q: How does the pause function work during cooking?
A: ASKO HI2642FBG1 includes a pause function that lets you interrupt cooking briefly without switching the cooktop off completely. It is useful when you need to step away, but it is not the same as programmable cooking or automatic recipe control.
Q: Are touch controls easier to clean than raised knobs?
A: Yes. ASKO HI2642FBG1 has a flat ceramic glass surface with touch controls, so there are no knobs or gaps around the controls to catch grease. Wait until the residual heat indicator shows the area is safe before wiping it down.
