Vented Induction Hobs: A Smarter Way to Cook and Extract

Vented induction hobs combine powerful induction cooking with integrated extraction, removing steam and cooking odours directly from the hob surface. Instead of relying on a traditional overhead extractor hood, these innovative appliances pull air downwards through a built-in vent while you cook.

This modern design helps create a cleaner and more streamlined kitchen layout, particularly in open-plan homes and island installations. If you’re considering upgrading your kitchen, explore the full range of CATA vented hobs.

What Is a Vented Induction Hob?

A vented induction hob combines two essential kitchen appliances into one: an induction cooktop and a powerful built-in extractor fan. Instead of letting steam and cooking fumes rise upward, the extractor pulls them down through the centre of the hob.

By removing steam and odours at the source, vented hobs help maintain a fresher kitchen environment and eliminate the need for a large overhead cooker hood.

Important: Vented hobs can usually be installed using external ducting or with recirculating filters that clean and return air back into the room.
