Best Cooker Hoods: What Feature In It?

Want to have a neat and clean kitchen, in addition to keeping it clean everyday, do you need a kitchen helper to keep it refreshing and clean? You need a best cooker hood to help you in complicated kitchen work. Cooker hoods aren't terribly complicated, but there are a few key features to pay attention to. 

Controls - For easy control, choose a hood with controls on the front rather than the inside or the underside.

Power settings - In general, most cooker hoods have three speeds.

If you usually fry more food, it is recommended that you use a range hood with a short high - power burst option - these can quickly remove odors and steam in the kitchen.

Lights - A range hood with lighting can help you illuminate the light blocked by it and better see how well the food is cooked. Most are LEDs and should last a long time. If you do need to change a light, it can be a struggle. The best hoods have quick-release light casings which are ideal for getting this job done easily. Lower-scoring hoods have unfriendly metal edges which can be tricky to prise open.

Extraction or recirculation?

You can either set up your cooker hood to extract air through a duct to a vent in your wall, or use it in recirculation mode. Firstly, the air passes through a carbon filter and is then recirculated back to your kitchen. We test all cooker hoods in extraction mode because this is a more effective way to remove steam and odors.
