Sintered Slabs Featuring Innovative Technology

What looks like a simple countertop in fact hides an integrated induction cooking system. A perfect blend of design and technology, Cooking Surface Prime combines the aesthetics of ABK Group’s large sintered slabs with an innovative patented technology that makes traditional cooking methods obsolete. The 2021 editions of the exhibitions Cersaie and Sicam provided the opportunity to officially launch this unique product and present its distinctive features to an international audience.

Protected in numerous countries by a European patent for an “Induction cooking system on a porcelain surface,” Cooking Surface Prime features interesting technical innovations such as a remote control and customized cookware. Along with the exclusive manufacturing and marketing rights granted to ABK Group by the European patent in the countries of validity, the induction cooking system is covered by the CE Certificate and the ETL Certificate for the U.S.

Cooking Surface Prime ensures optimum use of kitchen space for all activities from ingredient preparation to cooking. The induction system integrated into the worktop transfers heat directly to the cookware without heating up the surface, which means it cooks more quickly than a gas cooker while saving energy.

Cooking Surface Prime must be installed in conjunction with ABK Group slabs sold under the ABKStone, Materia and Gardenia Slabs brand names, which are specially designed to reduce stresses within the material. These slabs are covered by a 25-year warranty and are ideal for both domestic and professional use. They are resistant to high temperatures, stains, scratching and knife blades and are waterproof and porosity-free, making them easy to clean and extremely hygienic.
