Get Ready to Cook up Some Comfort Foods

Posted: 12/21/2011

A better range hood can mean out with the old-cooking odors and noise-and in with the new-better lighting and an improved kitchen environment.

(NAPSI)—Cooler weather is perfect for cooking up some of your favorite comfort foods.

Before the weather prompts you to close the windows and stay indoors, you may want to consider upgrading your cooking experience—improving ventilation, kitchen lighting and reducing noise. One easy way to do this is to replace your old range hood with one that offers great new features.

For example, the new BROAN EVOLUTION Series of under-cabinet range hoods features a best-in-class lighting output with four halogen lights specially designed to direct light to the cooking surface for a better view of your culinary efforts.

The series includes four models—the QP1, QP2, Consumers Digest “Best Buy Award”−winning QP3 and QP4.

This tiered approach provides budgeting flexibility without sacrificing key improvements. Each model more effectively captures odors with an active filtration area that is up to 40 percent larger than those of other range hoods in the same class.

Additionally, the range hood has an automatic light sensor for nighttime safety—eliminating potential bumps and bruises when you’re satisfying a midnight snack craving.

The quietest hoods in their class, this series has the quietest operation at normal operating speed, making them virtually silent.

In addition, a sloped bottom design funnels smoke, odor and moisture into the filters.

Smooth surfaces and a fully enclosed bottom reduce grease buildup, and easy-to-release, dishwasher-safe filters with protective antimicrobial coatings allow for easy cleaning and fewer odors between washings.

If you operate your old range hood on high all of the time to get the exhaust you desire, this may be an indication that the wrong hood was installed and that it’s time for a replacement.

The range hoods operate for less than $10 a year in energy costs. To learn more, visit www.BROAN.com.
