How It Works, Cross-Section
STEP 01
Install
The induction unit is installed beneath a countertop made of sintered stone, porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone with a thickness of 12–20 mm. No need to cut a hole in the kitchen counter—it can be self-installed using the visual guide.
STEP 02
Alasi
The induction unit is installed beneath a countertop made of sintered stone, porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone with a thickness of 12–20 mm. No need to cut a hole in the kitchen counter—it can be self-installed using the visual guide.
STEP 03
Radiate
Copper coils create an alternating electromagnetic field that penetrates the countertop — according to Faraday’s Law. This field induces Eddy Currents at the base of the cookware.
STEP 04
Cook
The Joule Effect converts Eddy Currents into direct heat at the base of the cookware. The countertop remains relatively cool; the burner turns off automatically if the cookware is lifted.
Electromagnetic Induction
Induction cooktops operate based on the principle of Electromagnetic Induction — converting electrical energy into heat energy through magnetic media, without open flames or conventional heating elements.
Faraday’s Law. Alternating current (AC) flows through copper coils beneath the countertop surface, creating a dynamically fluctuating magnetic field.
Eddy Currents. The magnetic field penetrates the base of the cookware and forces electrons to move rapidly and randomly, creating circular electrical currents within the metal.
Joule Effect (Resistive Heating). Heat is generated due to electrical resistance as Eddy Currents flow through the base of the cookware.
Why It Is More Efficient
Gas stoves must burn gas to heat the air, which then heats the cookware. Induction cooktops eliminate the middle step — it turns the cookware itself into the heating element.
Energy Efficient — heat is not wasted into the air.
Safer — the surface does not get too hot.
Easy to Clean — flat and smooth surface.
Precise Temperature Control — suitable for various cooking techniques.
| Feature | Induction Cooktop | Conventional Gas Stove |
|---|---|---|
|
Thermal Efficiency |
~85% – 90% |
~40% – 55% |
|
Heat Dissipation |
Very low; only heats the cookware. |
High; heat is wasted into the surrounding air. |
|
Cooking Speed |
Very fast, high precision. |
Slow, affected by airflow. |
|
Safety |
High; surface does not get hot. |
Risk of gas leaks & open flames. |
|
Aesthetics |
Seamless — no black glass, no holes. |
Requires a cutout/niche. |
HiddenHob by Visible Works applies this induction concept in an extraordinary way. Classic black ceramic glass is no longer needed because the inductors are hidden directly beneath the countertop surface. The result: a fully integrated, highly efficient, and practical cooking solution — with an official warranty from Visible Works.

HiddenHob by Visible Works can only be installed on countertops made of sintered stone, porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone with a thickness of 12 mm – 20 mm. The material must be non-magnetic.
Our system is equipped with a noise locator — a device that emits a beeping sound when the unit is turned on and provides an audio cue to indicate the burner you wish to use. The beeping stops once the pan is connected to the cooktop surface.
Other alternatives: your interior contractor can create small engravings (etching) at the burner points, or you can apply stickers (provided) until you become familiar with the locations.
Compatible: Full-clad stainless-steel induction cookware with a thick ferromagnetic base is the most optimal.
Incompatible: Pure aluminum, pure copper, or glass — unless they have a magnetic base layer. A thin layer will slow down the heating process.
Note: Cast iron is inductive but generates very high heat, which is not good for your countertop in the long run. HiddenHob by Visible Works requests that you do not use cast iron.
Place a magnet against the bottom of the cookware:
Strong magnetic pull → ready for use.
Weak magnetic pull → results may not be optimal.
No magnetic pull → will not generate heat.
Many manufacturers include an “induction compatible” symbol (horizontal coil) on the base of the cookware or its packaging.
Only use the Hiddenmat approved by HiddenHob by Visible Works and provided with the stove unit. The Hiddenmat must be placed as a pad between the cookware and the countertop.
Certainly. A manual book is provided inside the box, and you can follow the installation guide accordingly.
HiddenHob requires a 220 V connection. The amperage requirement for 2 Zones is 15 A – 16.4 A.
Installation notes:
Every exposed electric cooking appliance must have a separate switch in a visible and easily accessible position.
The switch must be installed within 2 m of the unit and must not be on the unit itself.
The switch/outlet must not be placed within 150 mm of the edge of the cooking surface.
Only maintenance recommended by the natural stone manufacturer and your countertop manufacturer is required.
There is no additional special maintenance.
This is due to power sharing between the burners.
The unit operates as efficiently as possible when multiple burners are active.
Your burners will still receive adequate power to maintain an efficient cooking temperature.
Yes. The surface will warm up over time and become hot to the touch.
For short cooking times, the temperature remains safe.
However, after 10 minutes, the area becomes hot — please be careful.
