ProfiCook PC-DKP 1211: the flat glass-ceramic double hob for all pots

Prices in euros from Amazon.de, as of 11 June 2026. Prices and availability may differ on Amazon.co.uk.

By Seydhan Cakmak · Editor-in-chief · Updated: · AI-translated from the German original

The glass-ceramic double hob is the middle way between a classic cast-iron plate and induction: it has a smooth Ceran surface like a modern built-in hob, but, unlike induction, works with any pot because it heats by infrared radiant heat. On the ProfiCook PC-DKP 1211, two zones together deliver 2,800 watts and are regulated infinitely by a rotary dial, which allows finer simmering than the on-off switches of a cast-iron plate. At only 6.8 centimetres high it is very flat, the stainless steel and glass-ceramic housing looks high-quality, and you simply wipe the smooth surface clean. A 24-month warranty rounds off the picture. Honestly: glass-ceramic keeps glowing after use and stays hot for a long time after switching off (mind the residual heat), the surface is sensitive to scratches and burn marks from boiled-over residue, and it does not quite match the efficiency of induction. If you want an easy-care glass surface without having to watch for special pots, this is the right choice.

ProfiCook PC-DKP 1211: what works, what doesn't?

What works well

  • Smooth Ceran surface, for all pots: modern glass-ceramic hob without an induction requirement
  • Infinitely variable control: finer simmering than the on-off switches of a cast-iron plate
  • Very flat (6.8 cm) & high-quality: stainless steel and glass, easy to wipe clean
  • Faster than cast iron: infrared heats up more quickly than solid cast plates

Points of criticism

  • Long residual heat/afterglow: stays hot after switching off, so take care
  • Sensitive to scratches & burn marks: boiled-over residue can bake on
  • Less efficient than induction: radiant heat loses more than induction

What does it cost to run?

At a maximum of 2,800 W power draw, an hour of use at 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price) costs about 98 cents. That applies at full load; real cooking and working cycles usually run lower.

Calculation basis: 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price, 2026, rounded). Values from the manufacturer data sheet; actual costs depend on use and tariff.

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the ProfiCook PC-DKP 1211 in everyday use: Smooth Ceran surface, for all pots (modern glass-ceramic hob without an induction requirement) and Infinitely variable control (finer simmering than the on-off switches of a cast-iron plate). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: long residual heat/afterglow, since it stays hot after switching off, so take care.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“ProfiCook PC-DKP 1211 Glass-Ceramic Double Hob: smooth Ceran surface, for all pots and infinitely variable control, and the trade-off is long residual heat/afterglow. At 8.3/10 a fair deal from €70.”

Frequently asked questions about the ProfiCook PC-DKP 1211

What is the difference between glass-ceramic and induction?
Both have a smooth glass surface but heat differently: glass-ceramic (Ceran, as on the ProfiCook) produces radiant heat under the glass and passes it to the pot, which works with any cookware. Induction produces the heat by magnetic field directly in the pot base, faster and more efficient, but only with magnetic pots. Glass-ceramic is the more uncomplicated accept-all, induction the faster efficiency marvel.
Can I use any pot on the ProfiCook glass-ceramic?
Yes. Because it works with infrared radiant heat, it works with all pot types: stainless steel, aluminium, enamel, glass or cast iron. You do not have to look for magnetic cookware as with induction. All that matters is a flat pot base so the heat transfers well.
How do I look after a glass-ceramic hob properly?
Let the surface cool after cooking (it keeps glowing and stays hot for a long time) and then wipe it with a damp cloth. Baked-on or boiled-over residue is best removed promptly with a ceramic hob scraper and a little cleaner before it sets. Do not use scratching abrasive cleaners, so that the glass surface does not get scratched.
ProfiCook glass-ceramic or a cast-iron plate?
The ProfiCook glass-ceramic heats faster, regulates infinitely and has an easy-care glass surface, but is scratch-sensitive and somewhat less robust. A cast-iron plate (Rommelsbacher THS 2590) is longer-lasting and less sensitive, but heats more slowly and regulates only in steps. Both take any pot. For a modern look and finer control: glass-ceramic; for maximum robustness: cast iron.
