Range-Expanding Cooktops

The Level Induction Cooking Plate Expands Kitchen Capabilities

— May 17, 2016 — Art & Design
Those who live in small spaces or find themselves running out of element real estate when cooking will find the Level Induction Cooking Plate to be the ideal solution to staying agile in the kitchen.

Designed by Choe Jaewan and Yun Kyeongchan, the Level cooktop features a multi-level design that has two elements for cooking. The induction nature of the cooktop allows it to heat up faster and cook more evenly when compared to other kinds of elements.

Each one of the elements on the cooktop can be individually controlled and helps to keep the design as simple as possible to eliminate any complication that could arise when cooking.

The Level Induction Cooking Plate is a Red Dot Concept Award winner and shows how the problem of level elements can be solved with a simple shift in product design.
