E.G.O Wireless Power Consortium
As a leading supplier for manufacturers of household appliances, E.G.O.-Group (E.G.O.) is shaping the technology in kitchens: Innovations from Oberderdingen are successfully in use around the world.
One idea is the wireless operation of small kitchen appliances, called Ki, in the definition and design of which E.G.O. is playing a major role through the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). The wireless power supply standard Ki makes practically all types of small kitchen appliances wireless and intelligent. With Ki, up to 2200 watts can be transmitted, enough to supply power to all common small kitchen appliances, for example coffee machines, toasters, blenders, rice cookers, air fryers, and much more.
Ki power transmission devices will initially be integrated into induction cooking hobs with a dual function. Thanks to E.G.O. technology, cooking and operating cordless small appliances would be possible on the same cooking surface.

Cooking with Gas Stoves: A Hidden Air Quality Hazard
Cooking with gas-burning stoves may fill your kitchen with more toxic air than you’ll find on Marylebone Road, one of central London’s busiest and most polluted streets, according to experts at *Which?*.
Gas stoves emit two major air pollutants: nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and PM2.5 particles. NO2 is a harmful gas linked to respiratory problems, while PM2.5 refers to microscopic particles—each just 2.5 micrometers or smaller—that can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream.
These findings highlight the hidden risks associated with gas stoves, emphasizing the importance of better ventilation and considering alternative, healthier cooking technologies.
