Gaggenau’s Essential Induction Cooktops Are Invisible And Integrate Seamlessly Into The Kitchen Platforms Believing In Quite Luxury

Posted on by

In the dynamic realm of kitchen design, Gaggenau’s latest creation, the Essential Induction, masterfully merges cutting-edge technology with architectural elegance, redefining the very essence of kitchen aesthetics. This platform-breaking cooktop effortlessly fades into the background, offering a perfect union of functionality and minimalist design.

Designer: Gaggenau

Gaggenau’s longstanding commitment to innovation and visually pleasing aesthetics has consistently elevated its status in the world of kitchen appliances. The Essential Induction, part of the 400 series cooktops, presents a range of sizes from 38 cm to one meter, tailored for spacious kitchens, granting architects the freedom to express their creative vision. The solid stainless steel illuminated control knobs can be vertically mounted, and the flexible Vario options empower users to craft a bespoke cooktop that aligns with individual preferences.

At the core of the Essential Induction’s design philosophy lies the concept of quiet luxury. When not in use, the cooking zone seamlessly transforms into a multifunctional stone surface, maintaining a sleek and minimalist appearance. The absence of visible cooking zones or frames enables seamless integration into any living space, erasing the traditional boundaries between living areas and food preparation.

This induction marks a departure from conventional kitchen layouts, encouraging a more fluid and interactive cooking experience. Gaggenau’s design team observed a shift in user behavior, with individuals instinctively arranging ingredients and utensils around the pot, fostering a natural and enjoyable cooking process.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the induction almost vanishes into a Dekton worktop when switched off, leaving only the front-mounted knobs in stainless steel or black as evidence of its presence. When in use, The knobs glow and a discreet LED dot guides users on where to place their pan for optimal heating, enhancing both safety and efficiency.

The seamless integration of Essential Induction into the Dekton worktop is made possible by the remarkable properties of Dekton, a durable material from Cosentino. Composed of ultra-compact mineral particles, Dekton offers resistance to heat, stains, and scratches, making it an ideal choice for architects designing kitchen countertops.

Beneath the Dekton surface, Gaggenau employs high-performance induction modules in two sizes, accommodating pots and pans up to 21 cm or 28 cm. The modules are activated through magnetic surface protectors, ensuring a secure grip on cookware while safeguarding the worktop from scratches and dampening sounds. The control knobs provide users with Gaggenau’s signature precision and speed, offering 12 power levels, a keep-warm function, and a boost for added convenience.

In the realm of kitchen appliances, Gaggenau’s Essential Induction stands as a testament to the philosophy that less is more. By seamlessly integrating into the living space, this cooktop not only enhances the aesthetics of the kitchen but also transforms the cooking experience into a joyous and liberating activity. Gaggenau’s Essential Induction is not just a kitchen appliance; it is a celebration of minimalism, innovation, and the pursuit of culinary perfection.

AirHood portable range hood promises worry-free cooking by keeping oils and smells away

Posted on by

People are advised to cook their own food to help keep meals fresh and keep track of all the calories they consume. Easier said than done, though, because cooking can be quite the chore. There are new and innovative appliances that try to automate the process, but most of us will probably have to settle for a traditional range or stove, which brings worries and concerns of its own. From oil stains to sticky scents, the cleanup is just as or even more taxing than the act of cooking itself, even when you include preparations. The simple thought of all that cleaning could already make some people give up cooking even before they had the chance to make it a habit. Prevention is better than cure, they say, and the AirHood, fortunately, saves you from part of that chore while also making the inescapable part easier and less daunting.

Even if you have an air fryer, a microwave, or a steam oven, chances are you will still go back to the stovetop to cook other dishes. Most of these will involve some amount of oil or fat, which either splatter around your stove or ride along with the fumes to stain your walls, counters, and other surfaces. Yes, there are range hoods that try to suck out the smoke and those oils, but cleaning these becomes an almost insurmountable task when the time comes, and it eventually does. The AirHood addresses all those concerns to make cooking and cleaning less laborious, and you can even position it in whatever place or location necessary to achieve the best results.

AirHood almost looks like an electric fan, but it actually works in the opposite direction, with its powerful fan sucking up the smoke and fumes from your cooking. Of course, it’s not enough to simply get rid of the smoke, though, and the AirHood’s ventilator passes the air through charcoal filters to prevent the smell from filling your kitchen and your house. These can be easily replaced, but they last for months before you need to do so anyway.

The oil filter fights grease buildup.

The charcoal filter purifies the air.

What makes this portable range hood special, other than being portable, is the oil filter that even built-in hoods don’t have. Made from durable stainless steel, this filter extracts the fat particles that would otherwise stain kitchen surfaces and stink up the area. The oil filter can also be easily removed and cleaned to prevent the buildup of oil film, keeping the filter always ready for your next delicious meal. Together, these filters not only keep your kitchen smell-free and grease-free, they also make it safer by preventing the generation and spread of toxic fumes in a small space.

Unlike typical range hoods, which don’t come with every kitchen, you can place the AirHood anywhere it’s needed to pull in the smoke and airborne fats. If you choose the wireless option, you can even do it away from a power outlet. Small, convenient, and safe, it’s amazing that no one had thought of something like the AirHood portable range hood until now. With a $109 price tag for a wired bundle or $129 for a wireless set, the AirHood easily and quickly pays for itself with your peace of mind, assured that you can start cooking the healthiest and most delicious dishes without having to fret over oils and smells ever again.

Whether we’re camping or making the most out of small living spaces, portable grills solve a lot of our cooking dilemmas.

In tiny living spaces, kitchenettes might be space-efficient, but weak stovetops can sometimes make cooking more frustrating than it has to be. The Magic Grill, an electric grill designed by Haruo Matsunaga strikes the ideal balance between space efficiency and functionality.

The Magic Grill, as ideated by Matsunaga measures an overall plate thickness of only 3mm using the brand’s proprietary ultra-thin AC film heater.

The Magic Grill’s film-shaped, full-face electric hot plate ensures that each dish is cooked evenly. Similar to Teppanyaki cuisine, The Magic Grill utilizes an iron griddle-like hot plate to cook food, ensuring an even cook-through and temperatures.

Leaning on a revolutionary, ultra-thin heater to cook various dishes, the Magic Grill’s innovation stems from the hot plate’s integrated proprietary technology.

This induction stovetop uses voice commands + haptic feedback to make cooking safer for the blind!

Posted on by

Cookware developed specifically for the blind and visually impaired communities requires a good blend of ergonomic and tactile design elements. While today’s product designs across industries shoot for minimalism, ditching bulky gear for a more elemental and bare look, the lack of sensory components overlooks those who might benefit from an ergonomic design, like the visually impaired community. French industrial designer Dorian Famin created Ugo, a two-part induction stovetop, to help streamline work in the kitchen for the blind community.

Ugo is a portable, two-part induction stovetop that helps blind people navigate cooking through haptic dials and an overall ergonomic build. At the center of Ugo’s design, Famin incorporated a chunky stove dial that clicks into place when turned to the right. The size of the stove dial enhances the stove’s ergonomic design by guiding the user’s sense of touch to the stovetop’s main power function. Famin’s stovetop also implements wide, easy-to-grip handles, ensuring safe carrying and boosting the stove’s tactile attributes. Ugo also recites step-by-step recipes to users, weaving in the sense of hearing to aid blind people’s experience in the kitchen. This addition allows room for users to engage with the cookware and accessories already in their kitchen and get cooking while Ugo narrates each step along the way.

While cookware for the visually impaired still has a long way to go, designers notice the lack of inclusive home products and create appliances that streamline everyday tasks. Striking a balance between tactile, bulky stove dials and clever incorporation of sensory elements, Famin’s Ugo boasts accessibility without compromising its refined personality.

This foldable dual stovetop works in double time to save space and provide a full meal while camping!

So, you got the perfect off-road campsite in Big Sur. A view of the Pacific ocean is only a stone’s throw away and it’s your first morning of the trip. There’s a vista a couple of yards in front of the tent and you can’t shake the image of yourself with a steaming cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich filled with eggs, cheese, bacon, you know, the works. It’s paradise, just you, a cup of coffee, your current read, the roaring Pacific, and a breakfast sandwich to fuel your hike later in the day. But then, the kid’s tent moves and the whole family’s awake. Looks like you’ll be making breakfast for five. We’ve all been there. Big trips with a crowd of hungry mouths to feed.

Beom-Seok Lee knows the story all too well, which inspired camping cookware design produced in the style of Korea’s popular kitchen lifestyle brand, Haatz Co. Lee’s induction dual stovetop was constructed to make those tiring, family trips a little bit more relaxing and easygoing because that’s what camping’s all about if you’re doing it right. Eating is a necessary part of any family trip and cooking for the whole family can sometimes take up that prime golden hour time that should be spent fireside. The design for the induction dual stovetop provides two induction surfaces suited for various kinds of cookware and less time spent actually cooking. Since the family was at the center of this design, Lee incorporated a safety sensor that must alert users of surfaces that might be too hot to touch and an intuitive interface that younger folks can understand just as well as the adults. For instance, a sliding temperature control touch bar allows users to increase or decrease the temperature for either induction surface.

The stovetop uses a classic folding mechanism to make the product portable, which means the overall thickness of the induction stovetop is a compact 4 inches. Opening up just like a book, the stovetop, once un-latched and expanded, reaches a total cooking area of 31.5 inches, with one 9-inch, and one 6-inch induction round. The induction stovetop comes equipped with a 220V power cord which provides the stovetop with electric power for operation. Lee decided to make this stovetop design electric because nowadays, many campers are choosing glamping and car-camping over roughing it, which could give way to additional eco-friendly means of cooking while off-the-grid. The additional induction surface might set Lee’s design above other preexisting designs on the market because it allows for more efficient food preparation, which allows for more family time and more time spent drinking coffee and reading on that vista I can’t stop thinking about.

You can now barbeque on the cooktop of this multifunctional induction plate!

Posted on by

There are some of us who love food and want to cook some gourmet level stuff but are quickly intimidated by the complex instructions for using appliances. If you are trying to bake a dish that also requires you to sauté ingredients, it could be easy to mess up what level of heat should be used where. It is daunting, especially if you have just graduated from cooking pasta and want to move on to some grilled chicken! The need for a simpler appliance that makes cooking easier for beginners resulted in this conceptual multifunctional electric baking plate made by a student who probably wants to fill the gap she experiences herself!

The electric baking plate has a very modern and minimal design, unlike the usual bulky ovens or gas stoves. It has a black cooktop with a bordering aluminum finish which gives it an elegant aesthetic that will fit the interior theme of any kitchen. The cooktop also has markings to show the hot points and simple logos for the user to choose from three settings – warm, grill and fry. Another underrated feature that I love in modern kitchen appliances like this one is the digital display for the temperature – it really makes things easier and you don’t have to worry about the degree marks fading over time!

The temperature can be adjusted using the dials that seamlessly fit on the grey border and it also allows you to set two different temperatures for two halves of the cooktop – now you can fry some crispy bacon and make soft scrambled eggs at the same time – this is HUGE because one always gets cold while the other is done. This multifunctional electric baking plate also comes with modular attachments so you can attempt to do a Korean hot-pot or barbeque with your friends without investing in a separate appliance – truly a blessing!

The creators of the Moka Pot have a cute stove-top espresso dispenser too!

Posted on by

Perfect for quick indoor espresso brewing, Bialetti’s Mini Express is just adorable, the way it sits on a stovetop, mimicking a big fat coffee machine. It comes with a base that’s similar to the Moka Pot, but with a direct dispenser on top that pipes the freshly brewed (it doesn’t get fresher than this) espresso right into a tiny espresso cup.

With its retro-Italian design (complete with the Vespa-inspired colored variants and cups), the Mini Express is perfect for the lover of the rich black beverage that forms the bedrock of all good Italian coffees. The base is rather small and may require a stove-top-reducer to sit squarely on. Load the coffee grounds and water in and screw the top on (throw in a stick of cinnamon for that Christmassy flavor), before lighting the gas underneath. The coffee brews, bubbling up to the surface and out the two spouts on the top, right into the cups that rest on the Mini Express’s adorable platform! There’s a variant with a single-pipe dispenser too, if you’re the kind to savor your coffee alone!
