Gaggenau Essential induction hob

Posted on by

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 cuttingedge design for culinary enthusiasts.

The new induction cooktop is distilled to its essentials: the LED ‘dot’, the worktop surface, and the performance 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.

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 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.

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 knob in stainless steel or black. Combining the Gaggenau ceiling extractors provides a harmonious kitchen environment, especially for open-plan designs.

“It’s about eliminating the boundaries between preparation and living. It offers the ultimate freedom in kitchen planning, which is a revolutionary concept for designers and planners,” said Sven Baacke, Gaggenau’s Head of Design.

“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
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 to purchase from May 2024.

In comparison to traditional dust collection systems, the E10S’s advanced tech prevents premature filter clogging, prolonging filter life and ensuring optimum performance.

But the merits of the Eureka E10S don’t end at technological advancements. From a user perspective, the bagless design promises convenience and savings.

Glen Dimplex profit increase

Posted on by

The main business of Glen Dimplex, the Irish-headquartered heating, cooling and appliance giant, nearly quadrupled its profits last year as the company substantially concluded a period of restructuring.
Newly filed accounts for Glen Dimplex European Holdings, which makes up about 60pc of group operations, showed the business made a profit of €42.8m in the year to September 30, 2022, up from just €11m in the previous year.

Glen Dimplex increased turnover by just 4pc in the period to €944m, with growth coming mainly from the group’s energy efficient heating and ventilation products, which are in high demand in the EU because of public policy initiatives.
“Encouragingly, the strong profit growth experienced in the 2021/22 financial year has continued into the early part of the 2022/23 financial year and the outlook remains positive driven by strong underlying demand trends, a supportive policy environment and fiscal supports for end users,” the accounts stated.The company, which is owned by the Louth-based Naughton family, has been undergoing a transformation in recent years to focus more on sustainability and the electrification of energy, increasingly via smart tech.The firm sold the well-known consumer appliance business Morphy Richards to long-term Chinese manufacturing partner Xinbao for €185m. Glen Dimplex retained the rights to distribute the brand in Ireland, New Zealand and Australia for 10 years as part of the deal.The shift has seen Glen Dimplex become very busy in terms of mergers, acquisitions and disposals, with the company an active buyer of heating and ventilation businesses
