seems the image is entirely unrelated to the content of the article, but i was intrigued by this design having never seen anything like it – i’ve never thought of a countertop gas hob as anything other than a stainless steel or glass rectangle with the burners in it but why not eliminate the rectangle and have just the burners?
i’d imagine there are a number of drawbacks (perhaps around manufacture and also cleaning) but i find the design very eye-catching
No reason to install new gas appliances imho. It’s a clean elegant look but is suspect regular use and cleaning would lead to pitting and staining before the life of the appliance or stone wears out.

They are very expensive

GC here. There are a few brands that do this. PITT comes to mind. $2000 and up, per burner, installed.

If I was refitting, much as I like cooking with gas, I’d switch to electric (for cost and climate reasons) and get an induction hob, also just in the kitchen counter.

looks good, but no vent or anything?

We are big fans of induction, and toyed with the idea of having the induction under our counter (sintered stone). So the counter becomes the cooktop. But didn’t do it ultimately because we anticipate upgrading the cooktop down the road.

There’s also invisible induction under the ceramic surface option [https://invisacook.com/](https://invisacook.com/)
That must be the ultimate easy clean.

I personally thinks it looks bad. I like visual the separation between the countertop and the stovetop. I think the idea is that this looks cleaner, but imo it looks messy because they look randomly placed in space rather than purposefully placed in space.

I hate it, but what I hate more is the total lack of a hood vent.

Yeah, if something bubbles over then what?

Reminds me of House on the Rock in Wisconsin. Dude built burners into a few weird places.

This is too sterile
