What is a venting hob?
A venting hob, also known as a downdraft hob, is a type of cooktop that incorporates a built-in ventilation system. Unlike traditional hobs where the extraction hood is installed separately above the cooking surface, a venting hob has a ventilation system integrated directly into the hob itself. This innovative design eliminates the need for a separate overhead hood, providing a sleek and unobtrusive cooking space. The venting hob typically features a retractable or pop-up ventilation unit that rises from the hob surface when in use, capturing cooking fumes, smoke, and odours directly from the source. The ventilation system then filters and expels the air, maintaining a fresh and clean cooking environment.
