Kitchen Stuff

This article is about Stove (or hobs), Chimney and sink. I purchased these items today.

Chimney

Things you need to look in a chimney. Do research about all these before making a choice.

• Size - Comes in 2ft, 3ft and some in 2.5ft. There are bigger models too! Chimney has to cover your cooking hobs (or stove).
• Fitting - Side, Corner or Center. 
• Appearance - All steel, or with glass cover. (I feel glass is difficult to maintain)
• Sucking capacity - It will be in cubic meter /hour. Requirements depends on your cooking.
• Filters - Two types - Mesh and Baffle filter. People said baffle is better for oil (or non-veg) cooking.
• Brand - Installation setup and post-service (Faber and Kaff are good? More are there)

Motors comes with life-time warranty. Glass has no warranty. Steel doesn't require much!
Prices start from 7k to 1L. Some are even 2L.

Stove

• Distance between burners. Take tape and measure. 10" is good. Less 9" is bad.
• Number of burners and layout
• Size of each burner (Large, Medium and Small)
• Built in or kitchen top.
• Glass top or steel make. Glass needs to be careful. Cold water should not fall on it during hot.
• Size - 2 ft, 3 ft or 2.5ft

Deals: Together there will be around 30-40% discount.

Sink
Again these are in different sizes.

• Bowls
  Length - 35cm to 55cm. Comes in different lengths
  Width - Standard ~20inch
  Depth - 8" and some or 9"
• Drain board.
• Make - Steel (standard, may be scratches), Granite (made of granite powder, looks good, but can have air gaps and may leak)
• Position of tap. Some will have holes or covered holes
• Reversible or not. If you are having drain board, some of them cannot be rotated.

Deals: 10% discount is norm.Some give 12% too.
