FLEX INDUCTION COOKTOP WITH INTEGRATED VENTILATION BY GAGGENAU

The Flex Induction cooktop with integrated ventilation retails for $8,300, and is available in a stainless steel frame, as well as a frameless model for flush mounting.

PANTELLIGENT FRYING PAN
This frying pan is equipped with a temperature sensor to prevent underor over-cooking of food. It monitors temperatures in real time, and tells you when to adjust the heat, as well as flip, stir, and add ingredients, through its app. With the temperatures under control, the coating on this solid die-cast aluminium pan will last much longer – and you’ll learn how long to keep your ingredients on the pan for, too! The app is also equipped with easy-to-follow recipes, and an auto-pilot mode that adjusts cooking time and temperature independently.
The Pantelligent retails for US$129 (S$178) and is available at www.pantelligent.com.
