Our Chef Ambassadors

The Global Cooksafe Coalition unites some of the world’s most loved chefs. These food industry experts are championing investment in electric cooking appliances, because they’re better for us and perform better in the kitchen.

“I just really fell in love with induction. It’s more efficient, it’s easier to clean, it’s twice as responsive as gas and it’s better for the environment.”

Neil Perry, Chef and Restaurant Owner

Watch our webinar, Powering Up: Electrifying Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchens are central to the project of building decarbonisation. On August 24, we joined the Green Building Council of Australia in a webinar exploring why electrification matters, the challenges ahead, and how we can accelerate the transition.

“Powering Up: The Case for Electric Commercial Kitchens,” is out now

Today we're releasing “Powering Up: The Case for Electric Commercial Kitchens,” a practical toolkit to help property companies and commercial tenants confidently plan the move to electric cooking.

Can you achieve wok hei on induction?

High-power induction woks are already in commercial use internationally and are purpose-built to deliver the intense, responsive heat required for wok cooking.

We’re hiring a Building Electrification Consultant (Spain/France/UK)

We are looking for experts in building electrification in Spain, France and the UK.

France’s electrification plan is missing a key ingredient, say Michelin-starred chefs

Michelin-starred chefs David Gallienne, Gaetan Gentil, Michel Dussau, Laurent Lemal, Tabata Mey, Oscar Garcia, and Erwan Houssin welcome the French government’s ambitions to accelerate electrification by 2030—but call for increased financial support to facilitate the transition to safe, high-performance professional kitchens that are free from fossil fuels.
