The world of food is changing. Exposure to different cultures, flavours and ingredients is bringing rise to new cooking styles. While the way we experience and experiment with cooking evolves, the core cooking principles we use remain timeless.

At its heart, cooking is a simple transformation. Using heat, we convert ingredients to a nutritious meal, turn soft dough to crispy cookies, and take foods from pale to golden brown.

While all heat cooks food, exceptional culinary creations come from a combination of the perfect heat source and the mastery of temperature.

The kitchen has become the social heart of the home, and as living spaces continue to blend into the areas where food is prepared and cooked, managing the by-products of cooking is more important than ever.

When we cook, not all that we create makes its way to the plate. Water evaporates, oils are taken past their flash point and begin to smoke, and tiny particulates turn to char and ash.

Capturing vapours, oils and odours keeps cabinetry looking new, furniture from absorbing smells, paints from discolouring, and the air we breathe clean.
