cooktop represents technology at its best, but it's technology that helps
you cook in a new way." The entire surface of the CX 491 induction
cooktop can be used as one large cooking zone. The cookware is
automatically identified and heated exactly where it stands. The cooktop
itself is operated intuitively using an extra-large TFT touch display, which
shows the positions, sizes and shapes of the cookware. "Cooking and
technology have to go hand in hand in Gaggenau products."
"That's why we use true materials - aluminum, stainless steel and
glass—materials that are key to the longevity of our products."
Gaggenau appliances are traditionally hand crafted and manufactured
in their factory. There is a fine attention to detail and many appliances
are customizable to satisfy the needs of the clients. Gaggenau strives
to unite form and function to create timeless designs that integrate
seamlessly into the private residence.
CULTURE & LIFESTYLE REFLECTED
Many of the world's best chefs, vintners, sommeliers and epicurean
aficionados stand by the brand proudly as Gaggeanu Culinary
Ambassadors, choosing to equip both their professional and home
kitchens with Gaggenau appliances.
Showcasing exclusive wine culture as an aspect of a sophisticated
lifestyle is an important part of the Gaggenau brand philosophy. In
2014, Gaggenau hosted the first-ever international competition to
promote highly talented young sommeliers. Sommeliers prefer
Gaggenau's Vario 400 cooling series as they trust that it is the perfect
wine storage unit and the closest you can get to storing wine in a
professional wine cellar. The RW 464 wine climate cabinet offers
space for up to 101 bottles and has two independently controlled
climate zones, which can be set to the exact degree.
Always on the forefront of technology and design, Gaggenau
presents select essays on their website from the fields of Architecture
& Spaces, Design & Culture and Culinary Delights & Wine—exciting
portraits, articles on trends and backgrounds, as well as reports that
highlight unusual perspectives and new directions.
