This feature is particularly useful when you need to rapidly boil water for pasta or sear meats effectively.

The touch controls of the Zanussi ZIT64X are user-friendly, providing an effortless way to adjust cooking settings. Each zone can be individually controlled, giving you the flexibility to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously. The digital display also provides clear feedback, so you can easily monitor heat levels at a glance.
