My complete guide to Invisible induction cooktops / hobs - My opinion after 12 months use.
Includes information on my DIY laser system and pan risers. I never mentioned but my porcelain worktop is 20mm thick by ABK stone. Colour is called vintage stone fog. Its a matt textured surface.

How i made my laser markers for my invisible induction hob.

I have a cooking surface prime invisible induction hob. I did not want any markings on my porcelain worktop which works well for me however I wanted to create a solution so that my family could use the hob. Total cost of the epoxy putty and 5v laser diodes was £15. Cut some old usb cable I had lying around to power them.
Thanks for the demo, it’s really difficult to get hold of useful info and reviews for all these products at the moment. We’re trying to decide between CSP and Invisacook, (TPB was too expensive for us, and Gaggenau was just silly prices). Both suppliers have warned us against metallic cutlery in a drawer directly underneath, but I saw that wasn’t an issue for you. Have you gone against advice, or is there a minimum distance below the induction hob at which it’s safe to store the cutlery? Good to learn about 4 rings being less powerful than the 3 rings too, I think we’ll opt for the same. What kind of ventilation unit did you go for and how did you line up the lasers in the resin? Thanks again!
No problem, ours has less space than recommended however because our kitchen has a rail there is a gap of a few inches to the drawer contents. Most of the drawer contents are plastic or wood though. Our cabinet has open section at the back along the whole length. I actually decided to add a small fan st the front to suck the warm air out. That small fan runs off the same smart button as the lasers. For the lasers i used epoxy putty. First i made the square with a magnet embedded in it then next day once hard i drilled a hole through the side for the wires and fed the cable through. Then i used more putty to set the laser angles. I marked the centre spots with pencil on the worktop. You need to keep checking them over the 1-2 hours it takes for the putty to go completely hard.
@MLH4280 any chance you can share where you got your 3 ring hob supplied from please? As our local supplier says he can’t get hold of them for UK and Ireland which doesn’t add up
@@AlexMorris-z6c Bloom stones in London. They have a demo hob in their showroom and porcelain samples.
Just needed to say how massively I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Thank you! Regarding the unit, I really really dislike the CSP's controller compared to the Invisacook :( Not yet sure which one I'll set on, I love how quick the CSP looks here, that's awesome. But I guess some boost in speed may not be a priority for me (as long as the invisacook also is 'reasonably fast/strong' for regular use), but I hate CSP for making you click 9 times to set 9. Such tech should seriously have a better thought out UX :/ Same with the timer I imagine. Invisacook also has some bonus preprogramming functionality for custom routines and most importantly a 'slider', so if it's also noticeably quieter than CSP, I may end up going in that direction... Wish there was a 1:1:1 test comparing the speed of CSP, Invisacook and TSP boiling the same amount of water for example, not just who's fastest but just how long it takes overall, how loud/quiet they are and the UX. Anyway, again, thanks so much for the demonstration, that's gold, you're the best :)
Totally agree with your comments about the CSP controller and UX. It could be a lot better. The invisacook controller is much better. I think as long as you are not planning to use huge pots and you use highly magnetic pans the invisacook would be powerful enough.
@MLH4280 Also whoever made the indents in the pan should be reported to authorities and put in an asylum ffs what the hell is that :D yeah it's not a deciding factor for buying the cooktop or not, but holy hell I've never seen anything this incredibly dumb XDD
The CSP 4 burner has a slight better controller with a power slider like you mentioned but the rings are less powerful which is why I chose the 3 burner. The invisacook actually states max power as 2000w in the us while the eu version says 1600w so wonder if it would be better than the one I demoed?
@MLH4280 Are you sure about the slider on CSP4? I've seen the controller in the documentation with it, but in 'controls' and how to set temperature it still talked only about pressing + and - next to it. So I fear that part is only a signalization and not actually input-registering part, otherwise the manual would probably say something about it? Couldn't find any demonstration of it online though, only 3-burners everywhere. And yeah, I'm in EU, so couldn't say about the stronger invisacook/must count on it not being that strong.
@ you may be right, just knew the controller was different and the 4 burner model was released later.
Am planning to do just that to avoid having marks on the desktop (currently only in the planning stage though)... and I'm definitely gonna tell any guests that the pots are heated and water getting boiled by the lasers ^^
Yes just reduce temperature and tilt slightly. Induction pans need to be close to the surface to generate heat so when you lift them they wont heat up.
Would it be impossible to butter baste your steaks if it's an induction hob?
Which induction system did you go for? I can see you didn’t go with TPB tech and invsicook but didn’t catch which product you did go with.
We went with cooking surface prime.
@ thank you!
I cannot see scratches at your countertop in the video, but heard some noises. Seems like the surface is very resistant?
The porcelain has not one mark after 12 months. I pull the pans back and forward over the surface regularly and nothing scratches it. My old granite worktop had a lot of chips and cracks over time. It does seem better.
Seems like a whole load of compromise and work-arounds in the name of style.
I agree there are definitely compromises. It wont be for everyone. We did a pros and cons list over getting a standard glass induction and for us there were more compromises for the glass. We have 3 children and also regularly have people over for food. While I use the hob loads I also cook outside and use our steaming oven. I bake lots of sourdough and make my own pizza a lot. When prepping i cant stress how amazing it is to have a 3.2m worktop prep space. Our old glass hob would always get food stuck between the edge and the surface of the stone. While a glass hob is easy to clean it is nowhere near as easy as the porcelain. We often found ourselves scrubbing burnt in marks on the glass. Probably the biggest pro is safety. As you can see from my video even after cooking things at very high heat or long periods of time the stone remains cool enough to touch. And yes it looks nice!!
Thanks for the demo. What were the reasons you chose this brand of invisible induction over the other brands you looked at?
We wanted to use 20mm porcelain and had pretty fixed ideas of the way we wanted it to look. The tpb tech was probably the best overall system but I did not like the look of the side on profile and they did not have a surface that was very matt or textured feeling. There system was also significantly more expensive so could not justify the difference. The Invisacook was just not powerful enough and that was even with 12mm dekton worktop however since my demo I believe they do their own pans which may help.
Yes 3 burner cooking surface prime.
As long as the cabinet has some air intake it should be fine. Mine is open at the back and I have a 60mm fan sucking air out at the front. Not sure if this is needed. The fan runs off usb and I have it setup to turn on at the same time as the lasers with my smart button.
Is this the cooking surface prime? We are just about to install one. How do you find it? Also be good to know how you manage to keep the use of the draw underneath
