How to get the most out of your new Cooking Appliances in a Fitted Kitchen
July 12, 2023
A well-equipped fitted kitchen with modern cooking appliances will certainly transform your culinary experience. In fact, it is almost contradictory having one without the other. So fortunately for you, you can change this with Paul Davies Kitchens & Appliances.
Paul Davies Kitchens & Appliances are known best for supplying kitchen appliances and equipment. However, we take this a step further with high quality kitchen appliance installation services. This even goes as far as fitted kitchen installations, with each fitted kitchen on our website.
In this guide, we will explore how to get the most out of three essential components of your kitchen: cooker hoods, splashbacks, and different types of hobs. By understanding all features and requirements, you can maximise their efficiency and ensure a delightful cooking experience. Let's delve into the detail to unlock the potential of your fitted kitchen design.
Cooker Hoods are needed for the smoothest operation of your kitchen. These appliances are designed to remove smoke, steam, odours, and airborne particles generated during cooking. If you have spent big on your fitted kitchen then easy operation should be expected.
Although basic, Cooker Hoods need to be professionally installed in line with industry standards. Firstly, these need to be the right size compared to the fitted design and mounted 65-75 centimetres above the hob. The purpose of this is so that steam and excess can be removed, without affecting the food.
Ventilation is the key function of Cooker Hoods as a means to control the quality of air flow. This is exactly why they are crucial in commercial kitchens as it can make an environment unbearable. Additionally, a more insignificant yet still impactful advantage is that additional lighting can be seamlessly provided.
Most customers glance over the fact that Splashbacks are meant to protect kitchen walls from splatters and stains. This starts with material selection, specifically a material that is easy to clean, heat-resistant and durable. In fact, you have the options of stainless steel, glass, acrylic, or tile to contemplate.
Splashback Sealing needs to be secure for the maximum protection of your fitted kitchen. This is in order to prevent water/ excess damage, long-term wear and even protected the fitted kitchenware. The exact same applies to kitchen tiling, no matter if it is on walls or floors.
Regular cleaning of the splashback will be needed after each cooking session to prevent stains from setting. Use a mild detergent or a mixture of water and vinegar for effective cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface in the long term.
Hobs come in various types, including gas, electric, induction, and ceramic. Each type has its advantages and requires specific handling which will depend between cooker appliances. So learn about the three main types of hobs for modern cookers.
Gas Hobs use pots and pans with flat bottoms for efficient heat distribution. Adjust the flame size to match the pan size, preventing heat loss. Regularly clean the burner caps and ensure proper ventilation to avoid gas build-up.
Electric Hobs are flat-bottomed cookware for even heat distribution across the surface. Preheat the hob before placing the pan on it. Avoid dragging pans to prevent scratches, and clean spills immediately to avoid staining.
Finally, Induction hobs use cookware with a magnetic base for induction compatibility. This ensures the pan is centred on the hob for optimal heat transfer. When not in use, the hob remains cool, but residual heat may be present, so exercise caution.
