🧠 Straight verdict

The MKN54212 is one of the better ceramic hobs you’ve sent so far:

• ✔ More features than basic Bosch/Beko ceramic models
• ✔ Better safety + control (touch, timer, dual zone)

• ❌ Still not in the same performance class as gas or induction

👉 Best way to think of it:
“Premium ceramic hob experience, but still fundamentally slower than induction.”
