Designed exclusively for Dekton stone countertops, the  Essential Induction cooktop from Gaggenau pares everything down to three elements: the LED ‘dot’, the worktop surface, and the control knob.

These elements are all that are visible, while preparation, serving, dining, working and socialising all take place on the same surface.

Front-mounted control knobs guide users through the cooking process and the LED 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.

Beneath the 12mm-deep worktop, Gaggenau’s high-performance 21cm and 28cm induction modules create a multi-use cooking surface with several functions: 12 power levels, keep warm and boost functions and an illuminated control knob in stainless steel or black.

The stone worktop surfaces are carbon neutral, available in 60 finishes, designs, colours and in sizes of up to 3200mm x 1440mm.

To ensure efficient cooking, Gaggenau has developed removable magnetic surface protectors for existing cookware. Available in four sizes for pans between 10cm and 28cm, these protectors not only reduce any noise of the pan moving across the stone surface and safeguard the worktop but also ensure the conductivity of the induction modules.
