Kuppersbusch USA is proud to announce it has been honored with Four of Design Journal's annual ADEX Awards recognizing design and engineering excellence. The ADEX award program is the largest, most respected competition for the architectural design industry. Industry professionals recognize the ADEX awards as a symbol of superiority, representing first-class product design.

The Induction Wok (pictured right) won a gold level award. The Induction Wok uses electromagnetic energy to heat the wok itself, a faster, safer, cooler and more efficient form of cooking. When the unit is turned on, the coils produce a high frequency, alternating magnetic field, which flows through the cookware quickly and evenly, stimulating the molecules in the cookware to move back and forth rapidly, thus creating friction, which creates heat to cook. Unlike traditional cooking surfaces that heat up and stay hot long after the meal has been prepared, the concaved black glass-ceramic surface of the Kuppersbusch Wok stays cool to the touch as it is unaffected by the magnetic field.

Also winning a gold level award was the EEB6600 oven. As with all Kuppersbusch ovens, cooking odors are a thing of the past. Our exclusive "okotherm" catalytic convection process breaks down grease, odors and smoke into water vapor and CO2. The patented "okotherm" oven virtually cleans itself, while at the same time creating a healthier, cleaner and odor–free kitchen environment.

Winning a platinum award this year was the Matrix Cook Top Series. Each individual component of the Matrix collection was created as an independent element that can stand-alone or interact with the complete collection. The universal connecting strip allows a virtually unlimited combination of culinary interpretation. With the Matrix collection, the homeowner is no longer locked into a static or rigid cooking system. With the Matrix collection, the homeowner has the freedom to design their cooking environment to meet their personal cooking style. Combine a pair of 12"; 2-burner gas elements with a 12" contact grill, or combine a 32" 5-zone, sensor touch cooktop with an induction wok element. The combinations are endless.

Finally, also winning a platinum award is the Honeycomb Cook Top Series (pictured below). These cook tops can be fitted flush into virtually any countertop material and provide unmatched design flexibility. Just choose the number

and type of cooking zones you require, and then create your own ideal layout. The controls for all of the cooking zone are located on a separate honeycomb which may be placed anywhere in the design. The sensor touch controls and true pan recognition combine to make cooking a pleasure.

Founded in 1875, Kuppersbusch has refined and perfected its production capabilities without turning its back on traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Dedication to a design philosophy grounded in a simple desire for quality over quantity has fostered a revolution in high design that is recognized the world over. Today, the Kuppersbusch name has become synonymous with quality, design, variety, and flexibility. Kuppersbusch has integrated fashion, function and technology to create unique kitchen environments that are designed to reflect the lifestyle and personality of the homeowner.
