Gaggenau, renowned for its professional-grade home appliances, has joined forces with Cosentino, a global leader in sustainable surfaces, to introduce the revolutionary Essential Induction cooktop. This cooktop is the outcome of years of teamwork between the R&D teams of both companies. The result is a state-of-the-art combination of Gaggenau’s advanced induction technology with Cosentino’s ultracompact carbon-neutral Dekton surfaces.

Visually striking, this unique, innovative product offers a single, uninterrupted worktop surface, free of barriers, frames or gaps. The cooktop’s design allows it to blend effortlessly into any living space, providing not just a cooking surface but a multifunctional area for preparation, serving and socialising. At just 12mm thick, the Dekton surface is both sleek and durable, making it an ideal partner for Gaggenau’s high-performance induction modules. The availability of a wide variety of colours and finishes enables several options that will appeal to both homeowners and designers. Gaggenau’s iconic stainless steel or black control knobs complement the cooktop, offering precise control and a sleek finish. Beneath the surface, two sizes of induction modules – 21 cm and 28 cm – accommodate a wide range of cookware, ensuring versatility in any kitchen.

The Essential Induction cooktop’s unique features include enhanced surface protectors – which magnetically connect to the cookware to guarantee optimal performance. The cooktop’s dot provides more than just a visual guide; it also gives the user intuitive feedback on the cooking zone’s status, which includes heat levels and residual heat, enhancing both safety and the user experience. When not in use, the cooktop returns to its original state: a smooth, uninterrupted surface ready for any kitchen activity.

The Essential Induction cooktop debuted at Milan Design Week 2024, where Gaggenau featured it as the centrepiece of the installation ‘The Elevation of Gravity’ at Villa Necchi Campiglio’s glass pavilion. With its seamless design and cutting-edge technology, the Essential Induction cooktop from Gaggenau and Cosentino sets a new standard in kitchen design.
