PITT’s pitch on The Block 2026 was subtraction: no big hot plate cut into the stone, just little single burners. Here is where it showed up and what the product is.
PITT at a glance
- What it is: a Dutch maker of modular, handmade cooktops with control knobs.
- How it got on the show: a new release featured in the e&s package.
- What we spotted: an induction cooktop built into the stone benchtop in House 4.
Seasons seen: The Block 2026.
The Block Head’s take
PITT is the only brand sold on the strength of the hole it does not leave in the benchtop. The cooktop is a set of small burners set into the stone, which means the kitchen looks as though someone forgot the stove.
The contestants’ reaction, in episode 29, was to ask whether anyone had observed it, which is the nearest thing to a review that the show allows.

What PITT makes
Modular induction cooktops. PITT cooktops are handmade in the Netherlands, according to Australian retailer listings, with control knobs and flush installation into the benchtop. The DEMPO4B-I four-zone model is listed by e&s at $8,090 before a special price and by another Australian retailer at $7,790. Retailers list a 2 year warranty and say the cooktop must be hardwired by a qualified electrician.
If you are thinking of buying
- Induction needs magnetic cookware, so test your pans.
- Have your stonemason measure the delivered product before cutting the benchtop.
- Confirm the electrical supply with your electrician.
