What You Need to Know About Venting Hobs

Choosing a hob used to be as simple as gas or electric, but now, there are so many options at our fingertips.

And if you are opting for electric, it’s pretty exciting.

For example, there’s no longer a need for a bulky overhead extractor fan. The venting hob integrates cooking and extraction into a single, streamlined unit.

• The integrated extractor draws vapours and odours down into the filter.
  
  
• Grease and airborne particles are captured in the filter while clean air is recirculated back into the kitchen.
  
  
• This process keeps your kitchen fresh and free from lingering cooking smells—without the need for an overhead hood.

Since extraction happens at the source, these hobs are highly effective at minimising odours. They also operate discreetly and quietly, making them perfect for homes where the kitchen is a central social space. You can cook and chat without the distraction of a noisy extractor.

If you’re considering an induction hob, you’ll be pleased to know that venting technology compliments it perfectly.

 Induction cooking is already known for its efficiency. It uses electromagnetic technology to heat only the cookware rather than the surrounding surface, resulting in minimal energy waste compared to traditional electric or gas hobs.

Venting induction hobs enhance efficiency further. Many models feature flexible induction zones that adapt to different pan sizes, ensuring heat is directed precisely where needed. Meanwhile, the downdraft extraction system automatically adjusts its power level based on the amount of steam and vapour in the air, ensuring optimal performance at all times.

Whether you’re redesigning your kitchen or planning a brand-new space, there are plenty of reasons to consider a downdraft hob:
