agree  TonyTK: It's not a trademark, but something with "recessed panel" or your suggestion would be more readily understood by the uninitiated.

neutral  TonyTK: Nick, they're talking design rather than function here. See http://www.kuechenspezialist.ch/mb-kuechen&baeder/index2.htm... I used to do lots of kitchen stuff.
