Hi, My mom through out her life largely used indian burner and she has been very happy. Over the last 5 years we have been using italiam burner and she is tired of slow cooking. I shortlisted a model Vidiem 4 burner hob 2 in 1 which comes with hexa burner. Unable to decide is this can be defined as indina burner or italiam burner ?
I bought a hobtop ( it can work both as a cooktop and in sunk position) by Prestige some 4 years back. And it is a a pain to maintain it. Cleaning is really difficult and has made the life so much more complicated. It looks stylish though. But you end up looking shabby after cleaning it 😜
Hi CK! haha you are truly funny! But why is it a pain? Is it cos it does not have a gap between countertop and the hobtop? The one I had from Faber was a cooktop - so was quite easy to maintain. The one I got now from Kaff - it's good but heating is so fast I have to keep a close eye on it. More often than not, I spill stuff :D
@@TheGrapevineIndia We have placed it on the kitchen counter itself. The problem is that since its body is sealed, the liquid spillage finds it way inside. If you do not clean it very regularly, it sticks on the metal parts inside and cleaning it can be a tough task. Inner mechanism is sophisticated and you are scared to mess with it. Although the Prestige support team is nearby and they attend whenever called, but replacement parts are expensive. They also offer a cleaning service for thorough inner cleaning and chemical treatment for which they charge 1100/- . With that pricing, I can buy a two burner budget stove every year and throw it off if it gets clogged !! You may get an idea if you look for the images of this product. The problem is - what happens above the burner is what my wife handles. Below the burner, I am put on the duty. Needless to explain why I end up looking shabby ( bit of exaggeration though !! ) 🤣🤣🤣
Hi, Sumaya . This video is beneficial for me to decide what kind of hob I should go for. If there is any such video on the chimney kindly send the link.
Hi Saumya, love your videos. I like the way it is so simple and clean. Easy to understand and navigate. Just would like to understand and know why haven't you included any ELICA models in your hob/ stovetop videos. What is your review. Looking at a 4 burner (Indian brass). Also could you share your experience with a hob interns of maintenance compared to cooktop. Thanks 🙏 Great work 👍
mam please do a video on how to wash the burners. I got the crompton optime 4 burner and at the time of installation, the service guy said that they can be washed under water
What is your opinion about Crompton ones. I am looking for 4 burner cooktop . The see Crompton ones have timer and stuff can you please guide. I am moving into a new home from abroad and your channel is my manual to buy all appliances for my house.
Thank you very much for your vlog, I have a 60 cm chimney and looking for a hobtop 60 cms with 3 burner, 1 large, 1 medium and I small, could you please suggest one from my mentioned requirements please
Mam really like your videos. Could you please help us finalise our kitchen stove? Below are our requirements 1. Built-in 2. 4 burner 3. Stainless steel 4. Brass burner ( basically any advanced Indian burners also will do ). Not at all interested in Italian burners.
Hi Himaja, I use this one amzn.to/3jaLWlL in a 3 burner and highly recommend. The burner is quite effective, they call it Tornado burner). Their stainless steel burners (like this amzn.to/3a2ABjK) are italian burners. I don't recommend Italian burners, unless you want to slow cook. They do have a few stainless steel models with brass burners, but have been out of stock for a while. In general - I find fewer options for stainless steel hobs these days.
Thanks Saumya for good info. I have a 4 burner faber hob.Its very slow and takes really long to even make a tea.Please suggest how can I fasten the cooking process .In case there are some tips.And if not then which one should I replace it with.It is 90 cm hob
What are your thoughts about cooking range? Could you make a video on that too? I am thinking a range is a better alternative for someone who would like a full sized oven too.
Hi Anuradha, I have to research that yet, but I think it would be a good option if you are into baking. I think many of them also have an option of using gas for the oven, which can be quite useful! .
@@TheGrapevineIndia yes exactly, it comes with gas and electric cooktop options, a full sized oven with multi functions and some even have a food drawer. All in one place.
Hobtop can be used as either a hob or a stove. Cooktop in general is a stove. You can watch my latest video on hob/hobtop 😊 to get latest recommendations. Here is one of then amzn.to/3Gmj1X8
Hi Pavithra, this is an Indian burner amzn.to/3Tzk4db (you can see the flame spread is higher and you can see multiple holes in the burner for gas disbursal). This is an Italian burner amzn.to/3Ft3wxD.
Hey i have been following your reviews before I buy home appliances or gadgets...but just wanted to ask, I was over at the kaff showroom yesterday and all hobs now come with legs so no need to cut slab and has better features than cooktop, especially from a cleaning perspective...now am confused...loved the hob, priced in the 30 k range ...cooktop looked so sad in comparison
@@TheGrapevineIndia it is one of most forgettable thing to attend eggs on time, there will be always overcooked eggs for overworking person😁 Hope u had something else for breakfast today
Hi Kamlesh - you can consider this amzn.to/3z32vcs. But remember the precautions to use for glass tops - check this video ruclips.net/video/pqRZZIwihHs/видео.html.
@@TheGrapevineIndiaI am observing that maximum u tubers dealing with cooktop and hob are preffering cook top but personally they are using hob..... What u want to show
I'm using a 4burner faber hob. With tempered glass. It has Italian burner. I'm highly disappointed. The cooking time is verrry slow. Previously I used a normal 2 burner stove and it was way more efficient than my hob. If I tried to clean the hob thoroughly, then the next whole week auto ignition stops working. I regret wasting 16k on this
Hi Ruthvik, yeah Italian burners can be very slow compared to Indian burners. I used the Italian burner previously from faber only. I was OK with it, my mom complained all the time :) When I bought that 10+ years ago, I did not know the diff and hence went for whichever one looked good. I recently moved to an Indian style Tornado burner. Cooking time is so much better.
Thank you 🙂for making such an amazing Video with lots of of information in less time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Dr. Pavani, you can consider one of these amzn.to/3XAeDfe or amzn.to/3WnzwIY

Hi Himaja, from what I’ve seen, most stainless steel hobs are Italian burners- across brands like bosch, faber, kaff
@@TheGrapevineIndia Okay mam. Thank you very much for your inputs.
Thanks Saumya... Wanted this kind information ... I want a slim cooktop... Can you refer???
Hi Yatin, not yet as I stay in an apartment. But I have been eyeing a video door bell for my parents This one -> amzn.to/3dU6Tir

Hi Veshally, it’s likely you have an Italian burner, which is good for slow cooking only. You can consider this option for 90cm amzn.to/3Lnc3mW

My cooktop (Elica) can be placed as hob too as I have plans to change my home during upcoming years hence for now did not opt for hob
Hi Saujanya, that makes sense
Hi, can i know the difference between o hobtop and a cooktop and which products do you suggest for both the case.
Hobtop can be used as either a hob or a stove. Cooktop in general is a stove. You can watch my latest video on hob/hobtop 😊 to get latest recommendations. Here is one of then amzn.to/3Gmj1X8
Hi, Also how to find out which one is the Indian burner and which one is the Italian ?
Hi Pavithra, this is an Indian burner amzn.to/3Tzk4db (you can see the flame spread is higher and you can see multiple holes in the burner for gas disbursal). This is an Italian burner amzn.to/3Ft3wxD.

Hi Arati, those are cooktops cum hobs. Hobs give a good finish to the kitchen compared to cooktop.
Is it possible to use hood and hob of different brands. Like kutchina hood and faber hob. Does it work?
Yes no problem. I’m using a Kaff hob and Elica hood.
Hi..Could you please recommend a good 3 burner cooktop?
Hi! This one for a black glass top amzn.to/33T8kfx. The Faber ones also are ideal to use as both a Hob and cooktop. This one -> amzn.to/3zWOb2O.

Has anyone used a cooking range? Is it a good option? Any information on this will be helpfuk
