Aobosi Double Induction Hob with Black Glass Panel, 4-hour Timer & Safety Lock (2800W)
Product description
The essentials
If you want flexible cooking without committing to a full built-in hob, a double induction setup can be a very practical choice. The Aobosi Double Induction Hob brings two independent cooking zones in one unit, with independent control and a black glass ceramic panel that’s designed to be straightforward to wipe clean.
On paper, it’s aimed at everyday cooking: simmering, boiling, reheating, and keeping food warm. The control layout includes touch options for switching between temperature and power, plus a 4-hour timer that can turn the unit off automatically.
That said, double induction is not for everyone. If you’re expecting the feel and responsiveness of a premium built-in cooker, it may feel more “appliance-like” than “hob-like”, and it’s still dependent on your cookware being magnetic.
What you’ll notice in use
Day to day, the biggest difference with induction is that the heat is driven by the cookware itself, not the surface. In this Aobosi model, that approach can help reduce wasted energy because there’s less heat loss between the cooking surface and the pan.
A typical micro-scenario: you boil water for pasta on one side, then switch the other side to a lower setting to keep sauce simmering. The independent control is the main reason people go for a double hob, because you’re not forced to cook at one temperature or power level for both pans at once.
There’s also a Keep warm feature. It’s described as able to maintain water or soup at 80℃, which can be handy if you’re timing multiple parts of a meal. It’s not the same as slow-cooking (because induction keeps things at a set point rather than “developing” flavours), but it’s genuinely useful for holding.
Key features that matter
The controls are built around multiple setting options. The left hob offers 20 temperature levels and 18 power levels, while the right hob offers a different range (10 power levels). Temperature can be set between 50℃ and 240℃.
The interface includes touch controls, including a “Function” button to convert between temperature and power selection, plus max/min buttons for quicker adjustments.
For timers and safety, the product description highlights a 4-hour timer for automatic shut-off. There’s also a safety lock (set by long-pressing “+” and “-” together), along with protection against overheating, over-pressure and over-current.
One limitation to keep in mind: induction hobs can be picky about cookware. If your pans are not magnetic, the hob won’t heat them properly.
Compatibility & requirements
This model is listed as compatible with magnetic cookware: stainless steel, enamelled iron or cast iron, provided the cookware has a magnetic bottom. The recommended cookware size range mentioned is 12–26cm.
There’s also an automatic shut-down described if no cookware is detected within 1 minute. That’s a sensible feature for reducing accidental heating time, but it also means you shouldn’t expect it to “pre-heat” without a compatible pot or pan on top.

Where it shines (and where it might not)
This Aobosi double induction hob is best understood as a practical, mid-range appliance for people who want two cooking zones in a portable format, particularly for kitchens with limited space, caravans, holiday lets, or anyone who regularly cooks multiple items at once.
It may not be the best choice if you cook primarily with non-magnetic pans, because induction compatibility is not optional. Also, if you’re after the “premium hob” experience in terms of heat feel and overall build refinements, this one could feel more basic than higher-end built-in alternatives. It’s designed to do the job reliably, but it’s not trying to replicate every nuance of a top-tier cooker.
Final verdict
A solid pick if you want an independent two-zone induction setup with a 4-hour timer, safety lock, and a keep-warm function designed to hold water or soup at 80℃. It’s also worth considering if you already own magnetic cookware in the 12–26cm range and like the idea of setting temperature from 50℃ up to 240℃ (or using power levels instead).
You may want to skip it if your cookware isn’t magnetic, or if you prefer a single-zone hob for simpler cooking routines. And if you’re comparing purely on “premium feel”, this is more likely to satisfy as a functional kitchen appliance than as a luxury upgrade.
