FUME REMOVAL

While a juicy, properly-seared steak at home sounds amazing, the clean-up is anything but. Bora Basic’s cooktop and downdraft hood eliminates a large part of cleaning up by creating a partial vacuum that effectively directs grease and odours into an extraction system. Combine that with an incredibly quiet fan and the mess and bustle associated with kitchen work becomes a thing of yesterday.

HIGH TECH PACKING

Sometimes, luxury is something you never knew you wanted – but eventually cannot live without. Enter the vacuum sealer, which removes the air and seals food in a bag. This means storing food for longer periods of time, easy sous vide cooking, and speedier marination. Kupperbusch’s built-in, compact version fi ts into a kitchen drawer and comes with easy-to-use electronic controls.
