Thoughts on black gas hob with silver glass extractor

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

We are extending our house to have a large open plan kitchen / dining / family room area.

we are having a mussel coloured kitchen with black granite worktop, a freestanding stainless steel fridge freezer & stainless steel which would be on the same wall as the hob & black built in double oven (not under the hob - it will be eye level in a tall cabinet) - again on the same wall.

we are having a stainless steel undercounted sink.

i really would like a black gas hob (flat shiny one) but want a stainless steel & curved glass extractor.

Will this all work together or should I go with a stainless steel hob? (Don't really want to but don't want to make a mistake either!)

How about black extractor. Haven't checked out the spec but this one might fit in.

POLL: Gas or induction hob?
Q
Comments (52)
I love gas, it gives you great control, my food is so much better, less burning, better crusts on steaks... and gas and copper are increadibly fast to repond for delicate sauces - something the induction pots and pans I have used so far just can't match. Add to that, gas works when there is no electricity - a problem where I live - and is incredibly inexpensive compared to electricity. I grew up using gas, and I was soooo jealous of all my friends who had electric, until I finally got electric in my first home. it was TERRIBLE! Jealousy gone, I spent 15 years in agony in the kitchen until I could aford to go back to gas. Now, with induction, it is faster to respond than electricity, but it still requires electricity, and I'm still dealing with the learning curve. It is easier to do a wipedown from simple, non-technical cooking, but you have to be very careful, as the glass tops scratch, and are fragile and much of my beautiful cookware is useless - my heavy cast iron scratches, and can easily shatter an induction top and my lovely copper cookware doesn't work on induction. So, I vote for both. A couple of induction burners for what it does best, and using my multiply stainless steel, and for quick cleanup and gas where it excels.

Lucy it's a Neff I89EH52NOB island hood. I think if I bought another I would go for the one without glass the I79MT64N1B which covers the whole hob area. I find I have to have mine on high power so that it pulls the steam from the pans on the flexi zone areas of the hob. I like the ceiling extractors but I wasn't sure how efficient and noisy they would be as they have to pull the steam from quite a distance. The flexi hob is amazing and I love having it on the island. Good luck with your renovation.

Hi. I'd remove the breakfast bar. What may work is wooden shelves either side of your tall units using infills at the side so effectively a mix of these 2 pics. Use the shelves for stacking your bowls and plates etc with a couple of decorative accessories. I can't quite see though whether this gives enough space for the sink? Do you also have a row of plug sockets either side? If this isn't do'able what may possibly work is If you continue the worktop under those 2 cabinets. I'd get a tester of a similar colour paint and just paint underneath to see what you think. I'd then just a splashback behind the hob. I'd then add texture for accessories as colourhappy said. The lights don't appear to be placed suitably for a pendant so perhaps a swing arm or arc lamp over the dining table will add interest and height.

Latest advice appreciated on the best big induction downdraught hobs please (Berbel, Bora, Gaggenau, Siemens, Bosch or others). We want best steam and fat clearance rates, quietest motors, easy-clean (unsure re self-clean, ducted or recirulated air). Berbel's FaceBook page features lots of customer complaints regarding after-sales service and spare parts, but some seem due to Covid delays which we think is unavoidable; another mentions guests sitting "in a haze" from the recirculated air and obviously nobody wants that! We need to order very soon but definitely don't want ceiling extraction. Many thanks for prompt replies!

I'm not really keen on the black extractor idea as I feel it would be too dark - especially against the light cupboards, & with quite an expanse of black worktop.

I didn't realise how stressful designing my own kitchen & choosing appliances / tiles / colour scheme would be! There is too much choice!

We had this dilema. We have an extra large black flat induction hob and I wanted it to be the focal point of the kitchen diner along with the black twin ovens underneath. We chose a high gloss white cupboards so have a white extractor and white sink. Looks AMAZING! Always been a keep it all the same sorta person, I'm glad I broke the rules x
