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.

This futuristic-looking cooking device promises shorter cooking times and smaller electricity bills

Posted on by

They say two heads are better than one, so it might make some sense that combining two cooking methods might help cut down on your reluctance to eat healthy.

Many health and fitness experts explain that healthy living really starts in the kitchen, implying that carefully prepared healthy meals are the gateway to that goal that eludes so many. Not everyone, however, is keen on cooking the food themselves for many reasons, and one of the biggest excuses is the lack of time involved in preparing and cooking healthy meals. While you still have to undergo the process of preparing the ingredients you’ll need, this rather hefty cooking device promises you won’t have to wait too long for things to cook, which, in turn, helps reduce power consumption.

Designer: On2Cook

The idea behind On2Cook sounds so simple that you’d probably be left wondering why no one has thought of it before. It basically combines two of the most common methods of cooking, namely stove or induction stove and microwave, to cut down on the time that food needs to cook. It offers the best of both worlds with almost no drawbacks, or at least that’s the premise.

Conventional flame or induction cooking cooks the food from the bottom and outside, which leads to the familiar brown color that stove-cooked foods have. The microwave part, on the other hand, cooks from the top and starts from the inside, yielding in a more evenly cooked and often moist dish. This “Combination Cooking” technology also manages to retain the juices and nutrients better than either cooking method in isolation.

On2Cook says that the device is able to cut down cooking times by 50% to 70%, depending on what is being cooked. In addition to halving the waiting time, this also implies that you will use less electricity while cooking. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the device itself won’t consume more power in the long run.

One important design detail is that the On2Cook is a rather large device, and you’ll definitely have to make room for it in your kitchen, alongside the stove and the microwave, which you are unlikely to throw away. The idea, of course, is to have a single cooking device to replace those two, but its design may make certain dishes unsuitable for it. Unsurprisingly, there is an app that will suggest meals and dishes that are a perfect fit for the On2Cook, though there might be a bit of data sharing with the company involved to make this AI-powered system smarter over time.

Posted on by

A combination of a toaster, oven and stove is in itself a multifunctional appliance you cannot do without in the kitchen. The downside of any traditional option is its dependence on electricity. Though, non-electric toaster and oven combos have struck their brilliance with the outdoorsy, the gas-powered Cook Nook presents an added advantage with a stove.

There is so much one can do with the non-electric toaster, stove and oven combo. It can be used for making toasts, roasting chicken, baking cake and even preparing a meal when electricity isn’t a luxury. So, when stepping into the wilderness, a portable and lightweight gas-operated toaster, oven, stove is the icing on the cake since it opens up possibilities for a great treat for a large family or friends gathering with the choice of pizzas, cookies, and other delicious.

With the combo appliance like the Cook Nook fueled by gas, you can save time and money while in the kitchen, in the backyard, or when hiking or camping in the outdoors. Such an appliance that does not require electricity is useful in everyday life and even in case of an emergency. In addition to cooking a fresh meal or a quick snack, this can even be used to bring frozen food to life. For its convenience and portability, the Cook Nook toaster, oven and stove will be a welcome product in the lives of the outdoorsy as it will solve the problem of finding an electric outlet for its needs.

In the kitchen, this multifunctional appliance will only occupy a small space and when it’s set for travel, it will pack up neatly and fit easily in the boot of your car. Interestingly, this yellow appliance comes with a CD player-style slide-out tray for toasts and baking and has a nice sturdy stove on the top. The stove has a sizable burner with pan support. The gas canister is placed on the right side with a compartment to hold an extra cartridge. The control knobs seem nice and easy to rotate, while the pan support can be removed and a lid can be applied on top to cover the unit when not in use.

The Cook Nook may not have the prowess to compete with the traditional options on the market, which are larger and more powerful in operation, but it surely makes for a decent option when portability and accessibility are on the mind!

Compact, portable gas stove eliminates wire mesh, making it easy to clean after camping outdoors!

Posted on by

Camping is a great activity to venture out from your comfort zone into an environment that’s different. If your next awesome expedition is leading you to colder locations, it’s befitting to pack a portable gas stove along so the effect of temperature variation is minimized and you’re cozy irrespective of the weather outside the tent. Camping heater is a tried and tested domain where a range of manufactures have conceptualized their own variations. Once dependent on wood-fired stoves, the industry has evolved into portable gas stoves, yet design progress remains attainable.

A gas stove designed with motifs of a cart has been conceptualized by a Seoul-based designer to that accord. Dubbed “HAUL”, the minimalist gas stove is perceived in an inviting color combination, has a brilliant overall design, which relies on the convenience of portability and eliminates the metal mesh from the heating surface. The highlight of the HAUL, as the designer mentions is its neat design. The stove is redesigned sans “protruding wire mesh,” which is a disadvantage with conventional gas stoves. In addition, the compact heater is designed to be lightweight and has an integrated stable stand and a carry handle. The interesting red and white gas stove has a rotating knob on the top for temperature control and ignites the stove or turns it off when not required.

The gas heater comes with a simple clip-in gas canister that goes into its compartment at the back of the HAUL and is convenient to install and replace. We are not sure of what material the designer intends to deliver the gas stove in, but going by the design we are sure, it will ensure hassle-free installation and deliver instant heat to cozy up your tent or tiny house the moment you get it out of the car boot!

Jetboil Stash is 40% lighter than its predecessor + most compact portable cooking stove yet!

Posted on by

Outdoor enthusiasts often find themselves in a packing fix. This is mainly as the excitement of packing your bag for a long weekend in the wilderness is cut short because the cooking stove won’t fit. You’re left with compromising the stove in favor of ready-to-eat items, which you’d have to savor all cold. Thankfully, ingenious companies such as US-based Jetboil are on a mission to skim down the size of portable stoves so the life of adventurous souls can be made slightly more convenient.

After a successful run with some compact cooking stoves, Jetboil has sent ripples down the market with the introduction of Stash, the company’s lightest backpacking stove ever made. Weighing only 7.1oz (approx. 200g), the Jetboil Stash is 40-percent lighter than the previous lightest stove in the company’s repertoire, despite the same use possibilities, better build quality, and cooking performance. With its almost insignificant weight and very compact size – when packed, it measures only 4.4-inch tall and 5.1-inch in diameter – the Stash stove is made specifically to allow backpackers, hikers/trekkers, or any other outdoor enthusiast to boil water or render instant-cook meals to an eatable temperature instantly. Unpack the stove out of the lidded pot, set up the base, screw up the canister and titanium burner, flex out the support arms, place the 800ml capacity FluxRing cook pot on the stand, and wait for 2.5 minutes before your coffee is ready!

What really makes the Jetboil Stash worth every penny of the $130 it demands is not only its featherweight but also its compact form factor. When you’re done cooking – and set to head home – just fold the arms back in, place the burner and stove stabilizing base into the FluxRing cook pot, pinch the bottom of its silicone grip handle that folds over to secure the package, and you’re now good to go. At just 7.1oz and incredibly squashed upsize, the Jetboil Stash is the go-to solution if cooking stove options have been a worry for you in the past. Shed every ounce of weight from the backpack yet travel with the satisfaction of never having to eat cold food again!

Wood-fired portable outdoor oven with a rotating base + stove is every pizza lover’s dream!

Posted on by

Woodfire pizza’s not just for the pizzaiolo (that’s pizza maker in Italian) anymore and it’s a good thing because the frozen pizza I’ve been eating in quarantine just doesn’t quite hit the spot like Nonno’s homemade pizza. We’ve got QubeStove to thank for both designing and producing their latest portable, 2-in-1 rotating pizza oven, and stove. There’s a lot to cover, so be sure to save some room for s’mores.

QubeStove’s new rotating pizza oven dons a heavy gauge stainless steel coat that shines with all the possibilities of different pizza pies. The heavy gauge stainless steel looks clean and packs a punch, but it also establishes the oven’s long-lasting durability and ability to retain a lot of heat (that’s upwards of 1,000℉). A high-temperature, ceramic glass door both allows users to check on their food without opening the oven and covers the woodfire, inner mechanics. Once the oven’s hot enough and after you’ve decided on your pizza toppings, garlic marinara, cheddar cheese, seared pineapple (maybe), some fresh basil, you can slide it right onto the oven’s rotating pizza stone and watch the magic happen. In just under ten minutes, QubeStove can reach temperatures upwards of 1,060℉, which users can conveniently check on the oven’s built-in thermometer, and then it’ll be just 90 seconds until pizza night. Fortunately, making crispy, well-cooked pizza will be just as easy as clean up.

One of QubeStove’s core elements is its portability and simple deconstruction. By folding the oven’s legs, QubeStove downsizes into a portable, handheld stove that you can carry with you anywhere. Of course, this simplifies storing QubeStove for the nights spent indoors and also packing it up for camping trips or pool parties. Once everyone’s almost-13” pizza pies are fully cooked and ready to eat, QubeStove makes it easy to transform the oven into a stove so that you can bring it over to the fire pit to enjoy your pizza creations fireside. QubeStove operates through the burning of wood pellets. Inside QubeStove’s chimney, you’ll find the fire-making mechanism that makes it all work. Once the oven is ignited, wood pellets catch fire on top of an iron grate that’s just above a pocket of airflow, which provides just enough oxygen to maintain the fire’s intensity and an ashtray that collects the fire’s debris all while your pizza rotates and burns evenly.

In addition to the 2-in-1 feature of QubeStove, it’s multi-functionality doesn’t stop there. The creators behind QubeStove recognized the versatility in how many dishes can be made using either the oven or the stove. The truth is, it’s up to the user to decide. Whether you’re in the mood for stir-fry, chili, an omelet, or just some good-old pizza, with QubeStove, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination, so keep the s’mores coming.

The bottom ventilation + filters of this ultra-thin stovetop keeps your home odor-free!

Posted on by

The foods I enjoy cooking the most, the ones that remind me of my Filipino childhood, are also the least ideal for my apartment’s older cooking unit. They require long simmer times, large pots, and well, are a bit pungent. They’re a hassle to make, so I can never enjoy them. It’s a shame because cooking can be a soothing, comforting experience. But that process requires the right equipment.

The BORA X Pure stovetop takes away all the undesirable aspects of a typical cooking surface. The first thing you notice is its flat, minimal design. The stovetop itself is only 200mm thick, which means the unit can be installed without taking up significant storage space below. The electric surface allows for extra-wide cooking zones, to accommodate larger pots and pans (perfect for those homey stews). It also has a compact set of touch controls embedded in its surface, which contributes to its elegant, minimalist appearance.

However, the BORA X Pure’s most notable feature isn’t related to its cooking abilities at all: it’s the exhaust filter. Let me explain. Unlike most stove/oven units, which have a ventilation chimney installed above, the BORA has embedded its filter in the cooktop itself. Why does this matter? First of all, the downdraft ventilation system contributes heavily to the BORA’s minimal design. Second, an overhead filter does not get cleaned often (speaking from personal experience), because the food splatter isn’t immediately visible. Out of sight, out of mind. But this means that, when someone (aka me) finally looks at the damage, it is quite filthy.

The BORA X Pure designed an exhaust system that would be as easy to clean as possible. The filters sit inside a wide, circular inlet embedded in the cooktop. They’re easy to remove, and all the pieces that come into contact with the cooking vapors, including the filter’s lid, are dishwasher safe. Also, and this is the last thing I will mention about the filter, the BORA X Pure’s ventilation system is silent and effectively eliminates odor. The exhaust fan above my apartment’s stove is loud enough to overpower my laptop speakers, yet barely stops my smoke alarm from ringing. (The after-smell, by the way, is just a given – you can’t fight it.)

Clean-up is one of the least enjoyable aspects of cooking, and it is more inconvenient with subpar appliances. You use your stovetop daily, which means that seemingly minor improvements, like an embedded vapor filter, can greatly improve your experience. It’s a small luxury, but one that many apartment-dwellers like myself would love to have.

A modern fireplace designed to showcase the flames and keep you mesmerized!

Posted on by

There is something about looking into flames that brings us closer to our inner self and keeps us transfixed there. However, with the advent of electric heating devices, we no longer get to sit and relish this experience at our homes. There are many who still keep a traditional fireplace or a gas stove in their houses. But, their purpose is limited to either heating or cooking and the flames are always entrapped in a black industrial frame that does not do justice to their spell-binding liveliness.

Designer Jeong Kim has taken a rather unique approach to this idea by designing a stove that showcases the flames in their captivating brilliance. He has created ‘Contact Surface’, a stove that also works as an ornamental piece to go with your furniture. The design is as much attractive as it is functional. The body features a glass door with various color gradients and a lever on the side which locks and unlocks the door. The action of opening however is vertical, keeping the hot glass safely away from the user’s touch and in steady movement instead of having it swing around randomly. At the top is also a regulator which controls the flow of oxygen into the stove. It also comes with a removable bin to collect and dispose of any ash or other particles that might accumulate.

The designer felt that traditional stoves made a rather abrupt break between flames and their surroundings. And thus, was born ‘Contact Surface’ which gently eases the separation between flames and the space around them.
