When designing a kitchen, the hob often dictates the layout of your worktop.
That familiar black glass rectangle breaks up the clean lines, demanding a permanent cut-out that can’t be used for anything else. But what if your hob could simply disappear when you’re not cooking?
That’s the thinking behind the invisible induction hob system we’re now offering at Landford Stone. Working exclusively with our Oyster Ceramica worktops, this system integrates completely beneath the surface.
When you’re not cooking, you have a beautiful, uninterrupted worktop. When you need to cook, the induction zones activate beneath the ceramic surface.
A Different Way to Cook
The invisible induction cooktop technology is clever but simple to use.
- Three induction zones of different sizes sit beneath your Oyster Ceramica worktop.
- You control them through a straightforward LCD panel, much like any other induction hob.
- The system includes proper ventilation to keep everything running smoothly, while the ceramic surface itself stays cool to the touch except where your pots and pans sit.
Being an invisible system, unlike traditional hobs, this one disappears completely when not in use.
Your whole worktop becomes available again for preparation, serving, or just keeping your kitchen looking clean and uncluttered.
Features and Benefits of the Invisible Cooking System
The invisible induction system brings something genuinely different to kitchen design, combining smart technology with practical features that make cooking easier and more enjoyable.
Smart Control at Your Fingertips
Controlling your cooking surface is simple and intuitive. The system comes with its own app that you can download on any device, letting you manage everything from temperature to timing.
There are six power levels, and the temperature control spans from a gentle 60°C right up to 240°C. Whether you’re simmering soup or searing steak, you’ve got precise control exactly when you need it.
Efficiency That Makes Sense
This system isn’t just clever – it’s efficient too. It actually delivers more than double the heating power of a gas hob while using less energy.
It only heats when it detects proper cookware, switching off automatically when you remove a pot or pan.
Safety Built In
Safety isn’t an afterthought here – it’s fundamental to how the system works. The surface only heats directly under your cookware, staying cool everywhere else.
If you lift a pan off, that zone stops heating immediately. You can even rest your cookbook right next to where you’re cooking without worry.
Built-in security features mean you can focus on cooking, not safety.
Practical Daily Use
Perhaps the biggest advantage is how this system transforms your kitchen space.
When you’re not cooking, you can enjoy a full, uninterrupted worktop. The surface is non-porous and easy to clean, with no joints or edges where dirt can gather. It’s compatible with any standard induction cookware.
In Your Kitchen
This system works particularly well in open-plan kitchens where aesthetics matter, or in smaller spaces where every bit of worktop counts.
The ceramic surface needs no special maintenance – just normal cleaning like any worktop.
Our installation team handles everything from measuring up to final setup. They’ve fitted many of these systems now and understand exactly what’s needed to ensure everything works perfectly.
See It For Yourself
The invisible hob system brings together the best of both worlds – all the convenience of induction cooking with the clean, uninterrupted look of a premium worktop.
Combined with our Oyster Ceramica surfaces, it creates a versatile cooking area that looks beautiful whether in use or not.
We’ve installed a working system in our Salisbury showroom, where you can see how this innovative technology works in person.
