Cooktop OptionsWhat are the Benefits of a Cooktop with Rangehood?
One of the main reasons people decide to get rangehoods is to improve their air quality while they're making food on a cooktop. It reduces steam, fumes, and lingering odors when making meals.
Another issue when making food on a cooktop is that oil and steam can coat surfaces in your kitchen. Pairing your cooktop with a rangehood reduces oil splatter and dirt from settling on surfaces which keeps your kitchen cleaner.
Types of Cooktops
Cooktops are counter units that don't come with ovens. Most people install over-range microwaves to make certain foods that require an oven if they have a cooktop. There are three types of stoves that you can select with your rangehood:
- Electric cooktop: This unit is powered by electricity and allows you to control the temperature of the hotplates easily. Some models also come with heat indicators.
- Gas cooktop: If you want to save on electricity, you may want a gas-powered cooktop. These units cook food quicker at higher temperatures, but you can also lower the temperature by reducing the flames on the burners.
- Induction cooktop: These units provide electromagnetic energy to heat or interact with compatible pans or pots, turning them into their own heat source.
All the above-mentioned cooktops provide the same results but are powered differently and may have unique features depending on the brand. These stoves can be paired with compatible rangehoods to improve kitchen ventilation. Take a look at cooktop catalogs to find the right one for you.
How to Choose the Best Rangehood for Your Cooktop
Rangehoods come in all different shapes and sizes and may have unique features. Here are factors you need to consider before buying your hood.
Fan Power
The size of your kitchen will determine how powerful the fan needs to be for your rangehood. To do this, use the following sum to determine the fan power you need:
- Kitchen Ceiling Height X Width of the Room = Volume of the Kitchen
- Choose a rangehood capable of cleaning the air in your kitchen at least 8 times every hour.
Noise
Ideally, you want a rangehood that doesn't produce loud noises as this can be distracting while you're making meals. Select a model that draws air toward the edges of the hood instead of moving it over a large area. This will reduce noise levels and it can also contribute to energy efficiency.
Size
Your rangehood should be wider than your cooktop. It's recommended that you select a rangehood at least 3 inches wider on each side compared to your stove. Take a look at rangehood catalogs to find the right one for you.
