Our Kitchen appliances - Hood and Hob, and a hand held blender!

Marcus and I had decided on a hood and hob, after the salesman in Mayer (Tampines 1) did a simple demonstration. He used a stack of A4 papers stapled together (abouut 5-6 pces), and the hob we were looking at managed to suck and hold onto the papers!

Some of the more expensive models couldn't manage to suck the papers at all, or dropped the papers after a few seconds, so we were definitely impressed!

Our hood - Delizia DZH 519 IX


Specifications of our hood:
- 90cm glass chimney hood
- 1060m3/hr extraction capacity
- 3-speed settings
- Halogen Bulbs: 2 x 20 W
- Aluminium grease filter

Some people might ask "Why do you need a hood?" and the reason is really simple. When we were staying in China, our kitchen had a hood. And when I used it to cook, I was impressed with how the smell of smoke around the house is kept to a bare minimal with the use of the hood! Also, cooking hoods usually come with some light bulbs, allowing you to see clearer the colours of the food being cooked! Although I have been used to closing kitchen doors when I cook (parents' place has a door, and China home has one too), but I do feel that the hood will help to keep the cooking smells away!
