28th March 2024 | IN KBB DESIGN | BY SBID ShareTweetPinterestLinkedIn Gaggenau, the luxury brand for professional grade home appliances, introduces its latest innovation, the Essential Induction cooktop. Seamlessly integrated into the kitchen’s worktop, it represents the epitome of freedom, flexibility, and cutting-edge design for culinary enthusiasts. Gaggenau - The Essential Induction Cooktop The new induction cooktop is distilled to its essentials: the LED ‘dot’, the worktop surface, and the performance control knob. These elements are all that are visible. The result is a clear countertop that provides unmatched convenience and aesthetic appeal, transforming the cooking experience into a true architectural masterpiece. Gaggenau - The Essential Induction Cooktop The Essential Induction cooktop is designed to integrate exclusively with Dekton stone countertops. These ultra-compact, stain- and scratch-resistant surfaces are available in 60 finishes, designs and colours to complement any kitchen design. Gaggenau’s distinctive front-mounted performance control knobs assist users throughout the cooking process. The dot, a smart centre light within the cooking zone, shows the user where to place the cookware, warns of residual heat and vanishes when not in use, transforming the cooktop island into a versatile area suitable for preparation, serving, dining, working and socialising. Gaggenau - The Essential Induction Cooktop To ensure efficient cooking, Gaggenau has developed removable magnetic surface protectors for your existing cookware. These protectors not only mitigate any noise of the pan moving across the stone surface and safeguard the worktop but also ensure the conductivity of the induction modules, guaranteeing optimal cooking performance. The Essential Induction cooktop offers the full Gaggenau capabilities: keep warm and boost functions and an illuminated performance control knob in stainless steel or black. Combining the Gaggenau ceiling extractors provides a harmonious kitchen environment, especially for open-plan designs. Gaggenau - The Essential Induction Cooktop “Our longstanding commitment to innovation has often changed the dynamic of cooking. From the first integrated, eye-level appliances, to downdraft ventilation and pioneering steam cooking for the private kitchens, our technological advances have always created genuine human benefits. Today we champion The Essential Induction cooktop, an innovation that will not only change the way people cook but also how they choose to interact and socialise in the modern, open plan kitchen.” – Dr Peter Goetz, Managing Director of Gaggenau. Gaggenau - The Essential Induction Cooktop The Essential Induction cooktop is a result of Gaggenau’s dedication to timeless design, craftsmanship and innovation. This addition to their renowned collection of luxury appliances is set to revolutionise the kitchen landscape, empowering users to explore their culinary passions without compromise. The Essential Induction cooktop will be available for purchase beginning May 2024.
