Now thanks to Fisher & Paykel, gas hotplates are set to be really cool or they will be later this year. At the recent Designex show in Melbourne, Fisher & Paykel showed their new Luna gas cook top which has no protruding parts until you need to cook. Then it's a case of simply pressing a button and hey presto you have gas hotplates.

The new Fisher & Paykel offering comes in frameless piece of 900mm by 410mm black glass supporting three individual gas burners.
The product is a world-first in cooking with gas burners which rise and retract from the black glass surface. When not in use, the pan supports and burners hide beneath the glass plate. A simple touch and the control and the appliance awaken with the pan supports and burners rising into view. A turn of the control dial instantly ignites the gas ready for cooking.
Gas within frameless ceramic glass in itself represents state-of-the-art design, but the addition of the ‘now you see it – now you don't' burner and pan supports make this product unique in the true sense of the word, says Fisher & Paykel marketing manager, Peter Russell.
