Kitchen Rangehoods – Why You Need One
September 3rd, 2010
Kitchen rangehoods are very important to having an effective kitchen. Have you ever been into a Fish and Chip shop and not seen any sort of extraction hood above the cooking! I don’t think so.
The purpose of rangehoods is very simple. They remove smoke and various odours that appear when you cook. Using a fan to draw the air in, they filter the oil and fat from it. Depending on the type of kitchen rangehood, they then pump it outside through specially ducted pipes.
As you can imagine, all the oily air that passes through kitchen rangehoods inevitably ends up making them very dirty. To keep your rangehood working efficiently, be sure to keep your filters clean by washing them regularly in hot soapy water.
Also, note that your cooking style will determine how often you should wash your filters. When you purchase your kitchen rangehood make sure that it suits your style of cooking. For example, if you use a lot of oils and spices you may create quite a bit of smoke and a basic rangehood with a small airflow in most cases will not remove the smoke effectively. Oil will build up on the underside and front of your cupboards. This is why when you purchase your rangehood you should look at the quality, style, shape and how noisy the rangehood is. There is no use having a Rolls Royce Kitchen and a Mini Moke Rangehood – your cooktop and rangehood should work together.
