Bora hobs fall into two families. Venting hobs build the extractor into the cooktop, drawing steam and cooking smells down through the hob, which suits island layouts and kitchens where a canopy would get in the way. Domino hobs are narrow cooktops that can sit side by side to build a cooking area to suit you.
Most Bora venting hobs pair induction with the extractor, across the Pure, S Pure, M Pure, X Pure and X Pure Max series, with M Pure models 76 cm wide. A Basic model uses Hyper glass ceramic heating instead. The main choice is where the air goes: exhaust air versions duct it outside, while recirculation versions clean it through a charcoal filter and return it to the room, which avoids ducting but means changing filters; several models suit either mode. Most extractors offer nine speeds plus a booster. Many hobs list flexible or extendable zones, so a large pan or griddle can span two areas, along with a frying sensor and keep warm function. X Pure models use oversized surface induction zones that make more of the glass usable. Several series also come in a matt black Rough finish, which Bora says is less likely to show scratches and fingerprints.
Bora domino hobs come from the Classic 2.0 and Professional 3.0 ranges, with Professional models listed at 37 cm wide. There are induction versions, including surface induction and dedicated wok cooktops; glass ceramic in HiLight and Hyper versions, some with roaster switching to join both zones for an oval dish; and gas, with sunken burners and dishwasher-safe cast iron pan supports. Many Professional models pair touch controls with an intuitive control knob, and models listed with Bora's Modular System are designed to be combined.
Start with ventilation. If you want extraction built in, decide between ducting outside and recirculation, then compare widths and zone layouts with your worktop. If you already have an extractor, or want to mix gas, wok and induction, domino hobs let you build that set-up. For ovens and more, browse Bora cooking appliances.
