Why does the first pancake fail?
The questions that started it all. Ztove is a danish company on a mission to make cooking easier and better in all homes.
One pancake in 2016
Peter is an engineer. And engineers notice things other people ignore.
In 2016, he was making pancakes for his 4-year-old son when a simple question stopped him: Why does the first pancake always fail?
He investigated. The answer was surprising. The temperature inside the pan was constantly changing — even when the hob setting stayed the same. The dial that goes from 1 to 9? It doesn't control temperature. It never did.
Peter connected the dots immediately. He hacked his hob, built a pan with a built-in temperature sensor, and had a working prototype within weeks.
200 steaks and 4 patents later
Peter brought his idea to chefs across Denmark. The response was unanimous: this changes everything.
Ztove was born. Patents were filed. And together with the University of Southern Denmark, the team took on a new challenge: finding the perfect way to cook a steak.
200 steaks later, they had the answer. With temperature and time as the recipe, perfect results became repeatable. Every single time.
1.000.000 cooking hours later
Today, Ztove is trusted by home cooks and professional kitchens across the Nordics, and available at Elgiganten.
The proof is in the numbers. The future of cooking is temperature — just like your oven has always known.
Nothing boils over. Nothing burns. Cooking has never been this effortless.
