Quiett

Quiett is a modular induction cooktop that streams recipes from a phone onto its surface. The main board holds one burner and a touch screen that lights beneath the smooth glass top. A phone screen can be cast to the cooktop through Bluetooth, so recipes and cooking videos can be followed with free hands.

The body uses aluminum and black glass.
