froggy 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 Hello to all who are using or planning to get the fujioh glass hob which was/is your pick? 773 or 793? I am having a hard time deciding between the two models. Price is the same. The only diff is 773 comes with safety valve, which I thought is important. 793 comes with inner flame, which is supposed to save gas since can cook faster? Also thinking about the position of the 3 burners. 773 has 3 burners all spaced out 793 has the big fire one at one side, while the medium and small fire at the other side.

ngunadi 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 Personally, I would take the inner flame because I love the strong fire. The safety valve is indeed important but that is only if you leave your stove unattended. If you keep attend to the stove, it doens't matter right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you keep attend to the stove, it doens't matter right? the salesman was also telling me that for the inner fire hob, the holes at the base are big, so things drop easily and cannot be retrieved, so easier to get stuck Dunno how true is this? hmm ... don;t know if you call this unattended. sometimes will keep low fire, then leave pot there to cook for 1 or 2 hours?

Yes, its center holes are bigger but that's where the fire come from right? What's the probability your item/food would fall there? Well ... it might cause a concern if you leave it for 1 or 2 hours because the wind might blow the fire off while the gas is still on. If you do this kind of cooking often, better get the one with safety valve. For me, I have slow cooker for this type of food Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the fire is really big. Though I don't think can compare with those chinese restaurant stove. Those are on different level. Definitely it would help on make the wok/pan to heat up. But don't expect to cut down the gas usage. Cooking time depends on what you cook right? If you are cooking with low-fire in longer period, it doesn't matter whether your fire is big or not.

ne0mesis 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 hmm .. and how much is it? which model you referring to? Rinnai inner flame RB-3CG (made in Japan) $900 it would be pricier than the fujioh one i suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbkungfu 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 Rinnai inner flame RB-3CG (made in Japan) $900 it would be pricier than the fujioh one i suppose yup, rinnai one looks classier ... due to space constraint plus to save my granite countertop, had to downgrade to rinnai RB-3as. U can called everjoint amk to compare price. Some googling should able to give u the contact number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

froggy 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) btw this RB 3GB is one big inner flame, one medium and one small flame is it? like the fujioh 793 configuration? Actually i am still quite confused with this inner flame thing. Is inner flame applicable onlyfor big fire? ie got such thing as small inner flame, say for simmering soup etc? one more question - for those of you who are familiar wiht rinnai - I saw the brochure - besides the made in japan RB 3CG, there are 2 other models RB-38V and RB-3SS (GB). How are they different? thanks so much! Edited June 14, 2010 by froggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbkungfu 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Hi dbkungfu what do you mean to save yr granite countertop? You mean use granite cannot have the rinnai RB 3CG? Hi froggy What I meant was ... RB 3CG is too width for my small kitchen ... if I installed it, I need to cut out a big piece/hole of my ex granite countertop, so end up only few meter of granite seen only. Nothing to do with it material spoiling the granite top ... no worry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new_home_maker 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 I also having problem deciding the hob to go with Fujioh Hood.... Fujioh 773 - safety valve, spaced out burner for easy cooking of diff food. Fujioh 793 - inner flame but no safety valve and inside of the burner not able to clean easily (unlike Rinnai RB 3CG) should food drop inside. Fujioh glass top is more sleek without aluminium strip on both side. Rinnai RB 3CG - safety valve, inner flame, spaced out burner, easy to clean inside burner BUT - glass top not as sleek with aluminium strip at front and back - the back strip design for air inlet may be hard to clean - as I am getting Fujioh Hood so cannot get Fujioh package price if I get Rinnai RB 3CG I need one with all the plus points of Fujioh + Rinnai ! HAHA Tough choice....... Still cannot decide..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
