Gas cooking safty, the Aham statement

Posted on by

Aham, the North American Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, issued a statement, , after submitting extensive comments in response to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s request for information on hazards associated with gas cooking products:

Safety will always be appliance manufacturers’ top priority – Aham President and CEO Kelly Mariotti said – and AHAM continues to support unbiased health and safety science that can be used to further improve product safety. As we detailed in our comments to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, current scientific evidence does not support claims that gas cooking creates a significant health hazard for Americans.»

The president also explained that all forms of cooking – gas and electric – emit pollutants that primarily come from the food being prepared rather than the heat source. Existing safety standards have for decades protected American consumers from any carbon monoxide hazards associated with gas products, and other standards are being developed to improve testing and increase consumer confidence in the safety of gas cooking products.

Whirlpool Launches Hob With Innovative CleanProtect

Posted on by

Whirlpool is launching a new induction hob with CleanProtect nano-coating, which means cleaning is no longer a daily source of stress. The new protective layer over the glass of the hob means that chemical cleaning agents are no longer necessary. Just water and a sponge are enough to give the hob a sparkling clean and prevent scratches and stains in the long term. With the new induction hob, pale circles from hot pans can be a thing of the past, allowing chefs to focus on preparing delicious dishes and enjoying long, relaxing evenings.

In addition to the CleanProtect nano coating, Whirlpool’s new induction hob offers a range of functions and flexibility. All induction hobs are equipped with 6TH SENSE automatic functions that prevent burning and boil over, including keep warm, melt, simmer and boil. Flexible cooking zones make the hob the ideal cooking partner. With ChefControl, chefs can divide the hob from bottom to top into low, medium and high temperatures, while simply sliding the pan up or down to change temperatures during the cooking process.

Whirlpool’s new induction hob is designed for easy installation and fits seamlessly into any worktop from 12mm, with no front ventilation. In addition, standard niche sizes make the replacement of an existing (gas) hob extra simple. Power management makes it possible to connect the hob to a lower power, so that adjustment to the electrical installation is often not necessary https://youtu.be/0aV0lmGEqmk

ELICA TO BRING SHOW TRAILER AND BRAND NEW APPLIANCES TO THE HEART OF CLERKENWELL DESIGN WEEK

Posted on by

Elica UK will be bringing its show trailer and a number of brand-new appliances across Europe to Brewhouse Yard in the heart of the action at this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week.

The show trailer will be the first opportunity for UK designers, kitchen studios and interior designers to see LHOV, a brand-new product that integrates hob, hood and a revolutionary extractor oven in a single appliance. The design of LHOV will complement and enhance modern kitchen design, whilst providing extraction that removes vapours and odours not only from the hob but from the oven as well. The extraction system has been discreetly hidden, while the oven is positioned under the hob at the perfect height for ergonomic use.Among other highlights will be:

NikolaTesla Unplugged the latest extractor hob which brings together the elegance of the hugely successful NikolaTesla Switch and the benefits of analogue control. NikolaTesla Unplugged is controlled through fixed clickrelease knobs with analogue touch and feel which provide instantaneous and intuitive access to all its features. All elements are incorporated into a boldlined appearance, developed to intelligently separate the cooking zone from the control area

The new range of VIRTUS ovens and RATIO hobs which fuse high performance and Elica’s uniquely elegant design language.

Veritas – Elica’s brand new built-in wine coolers

The Elica show trailer will also display many more of the iconic NikolaTesla extractor hobs and of course a selection from Elica’s huge range of discrete ceiling, ultra slim wall-mounted cooker hoods.

Falmec Brera

Posted on by

Technology is invisible to the eye in the new Brera by Falmec, which will be available from May 2023. Brera is an advanced cooking solution, featuring a configuration conceived to offer a spacious cooking area and a versatile, uniform workspace featuring a monochrome glass ceramic element where the cooking area is teamed with the suction solution. Clean lines, silent operation and energy efficiency (class A++) are the hallmark features of Brera, a single product with multiple functions whose name is a tribute to the renowned Milan design district.

The suction area takes the form of a slender groove, with a glass flap at the back featuring a black steel frame that has a surface anti-scratch system. The flap opens automatically when the hob is in use, sucking away steam and cooking fumes, after which it closes and blends back into the hob. The Brera solution is both stylish and practical: the functional element, positioned at the back, allows for the full height of the kitchen unit to be used, while the smooth, uniform surface is extremely practical for cooking and easy to clean.

Brera is equipped with a powerful brushless motor, which is quieter than traditional motors, as well as touch slider controls, 9 cooking levels + Booster and 4 areas with double bridges, offering maximum versatility when pots of different sizes are being used. The hood also offers new cooking functions, such as Keep Warm, which maintains heat constant so food can be served at the right temperature, or the Chef function, able to set different temperature levels for each cooking area.

The upcoming Brera by Falmec embodies the notion that technology can often be invisible to the eye. This advanced cooking solution offers a spacious cooking area and a versatile, uniform workspace, with a sleek monochrome glass ceramic element that seamlessly integrates the cooking and suction solution. With its clean lines, silent operation, and impressive energy efficiency (class A++), Brera is a true multitasker that pays homage to Milan’s famed design district.

The suction area takes the form of a slim groove, with a black steel-framed glass flap at the back that boasts an anti-scratch surface system. The flap opens automatically when the hob is in use, effectively extracting steam and cooking fumes, and then closes back into the hob for a seamless appearance. This practical and stylish solution optimizes the full height of the kitchen unit and provides a smooth, uniform surface that’s easy to clean.

Brera comes equipped with a powerful brushless motor that operates more quietly than traditional motors, as well as touch slider controls, 9 cooking levels, and 4 areas with double bridge, offering maximum flexibility for pots of different sizes. Additionally, the hood offers new cooking functions such as Keep Warm, which maintains heat at a constant temperature, and the Chef function, which can set different temperature levels for each cooking area. Overall, Brera is an innovative and versatile solution that seamlessly integrates advanced technology into a stylish and functional cooking appliance.

Pelgrim stops producing gas hobs and cookers after 70 years

Posted on by

The Dutch kitchen brand Pelgrim is the first player in the industry to announce that it will completely stop the production and sale of gas hobs and cookers. The company, which has been marketing gas stoves since 1952, focuses entirely on electric stoves with a view to the energy transition.

e 052

The company focuses entirely on electric hobs, in particular the popular induction hobs from its own factory. Convenience, safety and durability are the main reasons why more than 95% of people choose induction when purchasing a new cooktop.

The last Pelgrim gas appliances that are still in stock at kitchen specialty stores may still be sold. Consumers with a gas appliance can still contact Pelgrim for questions. For your information, the Pelgrim website only lists the latest models that may still be for sale in the store.

The traditional Dutch brand Pelgrim was founded in 1920 with the opening of the NV.emailleerfabriek Neerlandia by Messrs JMG Oorsprong and BJ Pelgrim. After the discovery of natural gas, the first houses in the Netherlands were connected to natural gas in 1951. A year later, Pelgrim started producing its gas stoves and later also gas stoves. In 2022, the last Pelgrim gas hob rolled off the production line.
