Why this induction hob earns its place
The Sage Control Freak Induction Hob SVT CMC850BSS is built for precise heat control rather than rough guesswork. The manufacturer says it is the first of its kind to accurately measure and hold 397 cooking temperatures from 30 to 252°C, using a through-glass sensor to read surface temperature directly.
That precision is backed up by the Probe Control remote thermometer, which lets you control the temperature of water and fat-based liquids with more confidence. The Intensity function gives you control over how quickly the hob heats up to the set temperature, while the Create function stores temperature profiles for one-touch recall.
The unit measures 110 x 350 x 470 mm and weighs 8 kg gross, so it stays compact on the counter. It runs on 230-240V, is plug powered and comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, giving it the practical setup expected of a serious induction tool.
