Research and development not only fine-tunes appliance design it also leads to innovative new products that set the standard for everything that follows.

The latest development from Fisher & Paykel is set to change the way we cook. The company has developed the first frameless black glass gas cooktop, featuring retractable gas burners and pan supports.

The 900mm x 410mm Izona CookSurface supports three individual gas burners that rise out of the cooking surface when the control knob is activated. When the burners and knobs are recessed, the cooktop presents a smooth, clutter-free surface that is easy to clean.

Roger Bridge from Fisher & Paykel Appliances says although most 900mm gas cooktops generally feature four or five burners, the company chose to incorporate just three into the Izona CookSurface.

"Our research found, that at any one time, an average of only 2.1 burners are ever in use. With the precise control offered by the Aero¢ burners on the Izona CookSurface, there is simply no need for a greater number of burners."

Another key point of difference from conventional gas cooktops is the sparkless, hot-surface ignition. This technology provides a glow plug that heats up to instantaneously ignite the gas as it is released. This does away with the clicking and sparking of traditional gas cooktops.

Precise control is achieved by variable-speed fans that regulate the air flow, controlling the delicate balance between oxygen and gas levels. Bridge says LED displays control 12 heat levels, or steps, which allow precision cooking, even at low heat levels.

Safety concerns have also been addressed. If the flame goes out, the gas burners will automatically reignite. The Izona CookSurface sends a continuous electronic pulse through the flame to sense if the cooktop is alight. If a fault is detected, this triggers the electronic flame-failure reignition system. The system automatically shuts down the burner if a series of attempts to relight is unsuccessful.
