Hob & Hood - Which Brand Should I Buy?

[joper 1]

It really depends what kind of kitchen you want. Do you cook "complex" food often? Do you only cook "simple" things once in a while. Or do you mostly cook western food, or those chinese food that need a big wok.

Gas hob is good for wok cooking, or you wanna do flambe. However induction is better in term of safety, and ease of cleaning. Personally I prefer mix. You can buy a domino unit of Gas and Induction hobs.

At high-end, you can try to look for De-dietrich, Miele or Gagennau. Unless you are professional chef, it's kinda too expensive for normal people. At the range of the brands you mention, I would go for Brandt. The reason is that Brandt is the same parent company with De-Dietrich, hence possibly as good quality as De-Dietrich (of course not as many features as De-Dietrich).

For hood, I think the bigger the suction the better it is. Personally I won't care about the noise level.

Hey! Thanks for the advise! We don't do wok cooking, mostly pan/sir fry & boiling. Having both choices of gas & inductio hobs sounds just good. Don't need all the high end stuff, mostly importantly durable & doesnt rust easily cos i stay near the beach. I like brandt too but heard tat it is quite costly. Also, heard tat brandt does only condos projects, they dont sell via retail, is it true? do you know if they hv a showroom? How abt Teka & Mayer/Ariston? My ID recommends Teka, saw some thread discussion on Teka, didnt say much but some says it rust easily ?!
