Induction hobs with built-in Bora hob extractors

The German company Bora is relatively young but has already taken leadership positions in cooktop selling. The main goal of the new Bora invention is “rejection of the hanging hood is the way to freedom, beauty, functionality and efficiency without compromises”.Basically, there are two types of cooktops: autonomous and with a built-in stove panel of functions. Advantages of the autonomous ones: they are installed relatively easy and don’t depend on the mounting surface because a control panel is next to the heating elements. Cooktops with control panels at the ends and an oven below limit a designer while planning a kitchen’s space. Despite the shortcomings of each of them, the Bora range covers all possible types of cooking surfaces.

Let’s take a closer look at Bora cooktops:

Induction glass-ceramic cooktop. The principle of operation of such products is that food is heated by an electromagnetic field that affects a utensil’s bottom from round coils from under the glass-ceramic stovetop. Special utensils with a magnetic bottom are needed for such kinds of surfaces. The surface itself is heated only from the bottom of the utensil, so the risk of burns is reduced to 0. Huge power provides quick preparation of food and allows to adjust the temperature of the cooktop accurately.

Solid induction glass-ceramic cooktop. The principle of operation on utensils is identical to a conventional induction stove. The only difference is that electromagnetic coils under the glass-ceramic surface area are rectangular and so they can contact a larger bottom area of utensils. It allows cooking in large housewares. Automatic recognition of utensils activates the coil directly under it, which minimizes the possibility of injury. The design of such stoves is very attractive because the hotplates are with low-key marks.

Glass-ceramic cooktop with an emitted heating element. The principle of operation is that the spirals emit heat and heat the stove above them over the entire surface, regardless of the placement of the housewares. Such stoves are cheaper than induction ones, but consume more energy and can be very traumatic if handled carelessly.

Gas cooktop. For those who are used to gas stoves, Bora has developed a surface that smoothly regulates the flame, which allows you to bring the utensils to the desired temperature quickly and accurately. The maximum functionality of Bora gas stoves is complemented by a stylish design.

Teppanyaki grill from stainless steel. This type of cooktops combines an induction hob with a smooth steel grill plate. It’s perfect for Japanese cuisine connoisseurs when food is put directly on the teppan. Usually, the teppan has two independent heating zones that allow cooking different dishes at the same time. It is not difficult to clean the teppan: after cooking, you need to pour water with vinegar, leave it for a while and wipe it with a sponge.

Induction glass-ceramic stove panel “WOK”.  An induction stove has a special recess for the appropriate wok pan. Thus, the magnetic field under the glass ceramic can heat products very precisely and quickly.

The main advantage of the Bora range is integrated into a cooktop extractor that provides a room with clean air. It also helps with kitchen design, because it doesn’t attach the cooking surface to a specific place. An extractor hood installed in a stove, like a hinged one, can process the polluted air flow in two ways: freeing the air outside the room or recirculating it (cleaning with filters), which is suitable for energy-saving houses. The main advantages of built-in extractors in the Bora cooktops are:

1. Cleaning. The extractor parts are easily removed and washed in a dishwasher.

2. Clean air. The Bora system absorbs odor molecules as soon as they appear and prevents them from spreading around the room.

3. Noise level. Quiet electric motors in combination with the isolation of individual extractor elements minimize the volume of the air handling system operation.

4. Unobstructed view. Placement of the extractor ensures full visibility, because the entire space is free at a head level.

5. Efficiency. Placement and work of the Bora extractor deal with dirty air only; it doesn’t reach the main air flow. 

6. Quality. All the range is made of high-quality materials that guarantees long-term operation. Meblens specialists will help you compliment the kitchen interior with the Bora range of stoves depending on your preferences and needs.
