# Wireless Induction Cooktops The 'B’CHEF' Induction Hot Plate Allows for Movement During Cooking By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-02-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/induction-hot-plate References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/02/07/a-range-you-can-move-with/) Using an induction hot plate requires that the pot or pan be sitting flush with the surface in order to maintain the conductivity, but the 'B’CHEF' aims to change this. Connecting with a [magnetic induction transmitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freepower-1), the 'B’CHEF' cooktop allows chefs to lift and shift the pan without having to worry that the cooking process will stop. This enables chefs to maintain a more versatile cooking experience from beginning to end without having to feel restricted in any way. The 'B’CHEF' induction hot plate is the design work of Sumin Shin and can be utilized in various parts of the kitchen thanks to the compact design. This enables it to be used alone or as a supplement to [existing kitchen appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countertop-cooking-appliance). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wireless Induction Cooktops:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop wireless induction cooktops that allow for movement during cooking, providing chefs with a more versatile cooking experience. - **Magnetic Induction Transmitters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create magnetic induction transmitters that maintain conductivity and allow for lifting and shifting of pots and pans, enhancing cooking flexibility. - **Compact Kitchen Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design compact kitchen appliances that can be used alone or as supplements to existing kitchen appliances, maximizing kitchen versatility. ### Where This Applies - **Appliance Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the appliance manufacturing industry by developing wireless induction cooktops and magnetic induction transmitters. - **Culinary Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Pioneer in the culinary equipment industry by introducing compact kitchen appliances that offer enhanced cooking flexibility. - **Kitchenware and Cookware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the kitchenware and cookware industry by designing pots and pans that are compatible with wireless induction cooktops and allow for movement during cooking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intelligent All-in-One Induction Cooktops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-induction-cooktop.md) - [Minimal Hidden Induction Cooktops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapitec-chef.md) - [Seamless Kitchen Cooktop Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flex-induction-cooktop.md) - [Precision Countertop Induction Cooktops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuisinart-tasty-one-top.md) - [Luxe Futuristic Induction Cooktops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolf-induction.md) - [Invisible Induction Countertop Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaggenau-essential-induction.md) - [Stackable Modular Induction Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookmate-kitchen-appliance.md) - [Electromagnetic Induction Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midea-celestial-flex-series.md) - [Precise Temperature Induction Cooktops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevilles-the-control-freak.md)
