AliG Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I have noticed over time a lot of discussion re induction his with built in extraction.

SteamyTea Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I have not permanently fixed in my IH yet, I was thinking of making something similar as an extractor for mine. I want to fit some heat recovery as well, so an extra challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you getting on with it ? swimbo has her eyes on one and i like the idea as its going in an island unit with a high ceiling and will remove the need to find a solution for the extractor hood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only boiled a saucepan of water with it so far . It’s in a temporary kitchen in the unfinished house . Be a few months before we move in and really use it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliG Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I think it is very easy to buy kitchen equipment just for show and then not use it. I fancied four ovens because it looks good and see this a lot in houses but in reality couldn’t imagine ever needing four ovens so we have two. The kitchen company originally designed our kitchen with Gaggenau built in fridge and freezer at around £6k each. I changed to much more standard ones at about £1k each, still not cheap. We are of course all guilty of buying things we don’t need because we fancy them and everyone is entitled to spend their own money as they see fit. As long as this is the case these very helpful companies will come up with lovely looking things for us to spend our money on.

SteamyTea Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 All I need to make 150 meals a day. We only have 2 ovens, neither of them very big. There is so much nonsense spoken about cooking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as this is the case these very helpful companies will come up with lovely looking things for us to spend our money on. I cook loads . My justification for anything is if I use it a lot it’s worth the cost . I’ll buy expensive trainers ( not because they are expensive) wear then for everything and knacker them in 6 months . Kitchen stuff is ‘ special ‘ in my opinion . If you intend to live in it and can afford it get what you want provided you use it . Reminds me of a self build show I went to in Birmingham many years ago . There was a gorgeous looking sponsored Nigela kitchen cabinet . Looked fab . I asked the sales guy how much ? . He said 8k . He then said “ you didn’t flinch , so you can afford it “ . I said no (expletive deleted)ing chance and walked away . Nice or not 8k for a cupboard just doesn’t sound like value for money too me . If the mrs bubbly big N came to my house to install it I would of handed over 100k on the spot ; and required new pants instantly.

You can vary them all as much as you like and still burn the toast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 In Aberdeen, before the last oil slump, I knew of a few people that fit £100k+ kitchens because that was what was expected in their sort of social circle. They did not really cook and quite often the next person to buy the house would rip the kitchen out and stick a new one in. It all went along with the white Range Rover for the wife on the school run, Aston to drive to the office and Mini Cooper for the young bit on the side.

We have 4 ovens, all Neff Top left is a combi microwave / oven. Top right is a steam oven. Bottom left is a standard size oven, hide & slide door. Bottom right is another standard size oven, hide & slide door. Plan was that the bottom right oven was reserved for baking and was the highest specced - digital, super accurate etc, bottom left was a cheaper version for everyday use. When ordered, the cheap one was out of stock so we got a free upgrade to the fancy version, so now have two the same. Also turns out that both of these ovens have a steam function which makes the steam oven somewhat redundant. So the two left hand ovens get used all the time. Steam oven is now known as the broccoli oven as that's all that has ever been cooked in it. 'Fancy' oven mostly contains the shelves and trays from the other 3 ovens. Occasionally used for baking bread. When we do xmas dinner for 12, we manage to use them all but I suspect life would have been just as good with two. However, looks nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gc100 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) My Mrs did a lot of research into IH with extractors and her conclusion was the extractors where pretty useless (and very expensive) - I have no first hand experience personally. We went with a really nice IH without extractor in the end (https://ao.com/product/ex975lvv1e-siemens-iq700-induction-hob-black-68119-39.aspx) which we both love and I positioned 2 MVHR extraction points above the island each side (3m apart). Any smells are gone very quickly, and since we've been in, not once have I thought "I wish I had an extractor". My MVHR might be somewhat oversized though as in 'normal' speed it does 225m3/h (min regs for our house is 191m3/h) Edited June 29, 2021 by gc100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
