Cooker hood
Hoods remove the grease and cooking fumes from the air so that your kitchen is less oily and smoky after a cooking session. With options ranging from chimney to telescopic to downdraft hoods, here are some factors to consider before selecting your desired cooker hood.
EFFICIENCY
As a hood is designed to keep your kitchen smelling fresh by filtering out unpleasant smoke and grease, a hood’s operational efficiency is measured by its suction capability. A hood with good suction efficiency should possess an air extraction rate above 600m³/hr. Canopy hoods generally demonstrate a more powerful suction efficiency as compared to slide-out hoods.
Having the right kitchen set-up is an important first step in cooking. Creating a functional utilitarian zone begins with choosing the ideal hob and hood. Not only should these fixtures complement one another, they should also be a good fit to your lifestyle and cooking preferences. Here’s a quick guide on how to choose the right kitchen appliance for you and your household.
MAINTENANCE
Hoods that encompass a ducted ventilation system interior are easier to clean as opposed to ductless range hoods. As the latter uses activated charcoal filters to cleanse odour and smoke particles from the air before recirculating it back throughout the kitchen, these filters need to be cleaned or replaced regularly to ensure that the range hood works most efficiently.
