Are you looking for a modern BORA cooktop with surface induction that combines design and technology, allowing you to fry and cook on a large cooking surface? Then the BORA X Pure might be the right choice for you. Visually, the induction cooktop from BORA is somewhat reminiscent of its predecessor, the Pure cooktop. With its round cooktop extractor integrated centrally in the cooking zone and the vertical touch slider, the BORA X Pure cooktop offers several advantages over other cooktops. We've summarized these in detail for you here.

The BORA X Pure induction hob with extractor hood

This hob from BORA is a modern induction hob with integrated extractor hood. Similar to its predecessor, the BORA Pure, the extractor hood consists of a round inlet nozzle at the bottom. This extracts cooking smells and fumes directly from the hob. Below, integrated filters in the ventilation technology ensure that the air is filtered and released again.

Operation of the X Pure

Vertical slider with sensor keys & touch

The induction hob can be operated via touch. Below the inlet nozzle there is a vertical slider with sensor buttons that react to finger movements. Three different touch commands are distinguished: short touches (touch), long touches (long press) and vertical sliding movements (sliding). All nine power levels, settings and other hob information are then displayed in blue and white colors. Relevant elements light up brighter than irrelevant ones. In addition, the display almost completely disappears when the hob is switched off. This creates a nice black vision effect. Only the on and off switch is still slightly visible so that you can operate it.

Functions of the X Pure

Surface induction & pot detection

In addition to the striking design, the BORA X Pure also has a number of practical functions. These are primarily intended to simplify cooking and frying. The glass ceramic hob has a surface induction with two 230 x 230 mm cooking zones each. They can also be combined with one another using a practical bridge function. This creates a large surface on which you can cook and fry with large pots and roasters. The X Pure also has intelligent pot detection. Each cooking zone automatically detects the size of the cookware and releases the energy specifically to that surface. The new induction hob also detects cookware that is too small, missing or unsuitable. It then switches off automatically after 10 minutes.

Extraction technology of the X Pure

Exhaust air or recirculation?

The BORA cooktop can be operated with both exhaust air and recirculated air. In exhaust air mode, the air is cleaned by a grease filter and led outside in a duct system. If the extractor is controlled using recirculated air, the air is also first cleaned by a grease filter. An activated carbon filter is also used to filter or bind odors. The cleaned air is then released back into the room.

The BORA X Pure and its functions

The following description of the BORA X Pure offers more than just a brief overview. Let's now take a closer look at the new cooktop with extractor. Here are all the new and important functions that you can look forward to when you buy it.

Operation via intuitive sControl

The user interface on the BORA induction hob X Pure appears intuitive and modern. It is located centrally on the hob, exactly below the round inlet nozzle. All important functions can be set there via touch using a vertical slider. Electronic sensor buttons respond to finger pressure. All important operating functions can therefore always be reached quickly with a small touch of the finger. This makes operating the hob even easier.

White and blue color displays in a light-dark contrast ensure a modern look. In standby mode, the slider is also almost invisible. Only the on and off button is still visible because it is illuminated from behind. Basically, the system adapts its luminosity to the current operating situation. Relevant elements light up brighter, irrelevant ones darker. Functions that are not used or available are completely hidden.

Filter eSwap

Odors and fumes are neutralized in the BORA X Pure using a highly efficient activated carbon filter. eSwap is the name of the innovative filter system that is easy to remove and clean. All elements that are exposed to cooking fumes can be removed via the inlet nozzle. They can then be washed under running water or in the dishwasher to clean them. A particular advantage of BORA cooktops is that the filter solutions are long-lasting in recirculation mode and thus effectively eliminate unpleasant odors in the kitchen. On average, BORA filters last about a year.

Surface induction

The main advantage of the BORA X Pure is the large induction surface made of high-quality glass ceramic. The surface induction ensures complete and even heating across the entire plate. More flexibility is also achieved with the help of a bridge function. The front and rear cooking zones can be connected to one another, which offers more space for large pots and roasters.

Low volume

BORA X Pure is even quieter than its predecessor. Even at high power levels. The innovative air flow and the use of a low-noise fan have made it possible to reduce the extraction volume even further.

Maximum storage space when installed

Like other BORA cooktops, the X Pure also offers maximum storage space for pots and cookware underneath the extractor. The appliance has a very low installation height of around 200 mm. This means that no drawers need to be shortened, even with a cabinet depth of 60 cm. The exact cooktop dimensions are 830 x 515 x 199 mm.

Modern induction hob

BORA X Pure has a total of nine power levels. A power level ensures extremely fast heating. Other functions include automatic run-on, pan detection and residual heat indicator. Additional functions worth mentioning on the new induction hob are the three-stage keep-warm function and the automatic cooktop extractor. The keep-warm function allows food to be kept warm, cooked or liquefied at a constant temperature. Without the risk of burning. You can choose freely between three different temperature levels: 42, 74 or 94° Celsius.

The right pots for the BORA Pure induction cooktop

An induction cooktop requires induction-compatible pots and pans. Naturally, the BORA brand also offers suitable cookware for the Pure cooktop. It was specially developed for cooktop extractors and impresses with particularly even heat distribution, an innovative tilting lid for targeted steam control, and ergonomic handles.

Design

The BORA Pure and the X Pure differ significantly in their design. The Pure's cooktop extractor has a ring design, while the X Pure's has a pin-like appearance. The slider also has a different design: it's red on the Pure, while the X Pure's is white and blue, and also features a light-dark contrast with background lighting.

Function

A major advantage of the X Pure cooktop is its surface induction, which provides a particularly large cooking surface. In general, the cooking zones on the X Pure are slightly larger than on its predecessor, the Pure.

Performance

The BORA induction cooktop has also been improved in terms of performance. X Pure impresses with its extremely low noise level and redesigned airflow. It's even quieter than the already quiet BORA Pure cooktop.
