Smeg SI964NM 60cm Induction Black Hob "Victoria Aesthetic"

Smeg SI964NM 60cm Built-In Induction Hob – Black Victoria Aesthetic

▶ Victoria Design in Bold Black

The Smeg SI964NM is a 60cm built-in induction hob from the Victoria collection, finished in a striking black that transforms it into one of the most visually compelling hobs available. The Victoria aesthetic takes inspiration from the classic British Victoria range cooker style, with its characteristic rounded corners and ornamental detailing, reinterpreted for modern built-in kitchen integration. In deep black, the SI964NM brings drama and sophistication to any kitchen, making it a design focal point as much as a cooking appliance. It is the perfect choice for those who refuse to let practical appliances compromise the visual quality of their kitchen.

▶ High-Performance Induction Technology

The SI964NM delivers outstanding cooking performance through advanced induction technology. Rather than heating a surface that then heats your cookware, induction transfers energy directly into the base of the pot through electromagnetic induction, resulting in dramatically faster heat-up times, more precise temperature control, and superior energy efficiency. The hob responds almost instantly to any adjustment, allowing precise transitions between gentle simmering and a rapid rolling boil in seconds. This level of cooking control, combined with the elegant Victoria design, makes the SI964NM a truly exceptional kitchen appliance.

▶ Four Independent Cooking Zones

Four independent induction zones give you complete flexibility to cook multiple dishes simultaneously at different heat levels. Each zone is individually controlled, allowing you to maintain a slow simmer on one while bringing another to a rapid boil, all while keeping two further pots at different temperatures. The zones are sized to accommodate a range of cookware diameters, from small milk pans to large woks and stockpots. This independent multi-zone capability is essential for cooking complex meals efficiently and is one of the key reasons why serious home cooks choose a premium induction hob over all alternatives.

▶ Safe, Cool-Touch Surface for Family Kitchens

Induction cooking provides a significantly safer cooking surface than gas or ceramic alternatives. Because heat is generated within the cookware rather than on the hob surface, the glass around each active zone stays much cooler during cooking. Spills do not burn onto the surface, and the risk of accidental burns from touching the hob between zones is greatly reduced. Residual heat indicators alert you when any zone is still warm after cooking, and a child safety lock disables the touch controls to prevent accidental activation. These features make the SI964NM an excellent choice for households where kitchen safety is a priority.

▶ Effortless Cleaning

The smooth, flat ceramic glass surface of the SI964NM requires minimal effort to keep clean. Without raised burners or grilles, spills remain on the flat surface rather than seeping into crevices, and can be wiped away quickly once cool. The deep black glass finish has the practical advantage of minimising the visible impact of minor marks between cleaning sessions, keeping the hob looking pristine with less frequent attention. Touch controls are easily cleaned with a simple wipe, and the overall design of the hob makes daily maintenance a matter of seconds rather than minutes.

▶ Intuitive Touch Controls

The SI964NM is operated through touch controls set seamlessly into the glass surface, maintaining the clean aesthetic of the Victoria design without visible buttons or dials. The controls provide precise adjustment of each cooking zone and include a timer function for added cooking convenience. A child lock can be engaged to disable the panel, and power boost functions are available for maximum heat performance when needed. The touch interface is responsive, precise, and easy to learn — providing the full complement of induction control features in a format that suits the hob's sophisticated visual character.

▶ Italian Craftsmanship Behind Every Detail

The Smeg SI964NM Victoria induction hob is a product of Smeg's long tradition of Italian design excellence and appliance craftsmanship. The attention to detail in the hob's design — from the precisely shaped glass edges to the quality of the finish — reflects the same standards that have made Smeg one of the world's most respected kitchen appliance brands since 1948. Choosing this hob means bringing a piece of Italian design heritage into your kitchen, backed by Smeg's professional service network and commitment to long-term product quality and reliability.
