Montpellier’s guide to buying the right hob

6th June 2023 Sallyhobs, Montpellier0 comment

Energy Efficiency Under current legislation, hobs do not require an energy label so do not have an energy rating. The most efficient type of hob currently is an induction hob, as it heats the pan directly, rather than the hob surface. Sizes Standard hobs come with either two, four or five cooking zones. However, the dimensions for each size of hob can differ quite a lot. Always check the dimensions of a new hob before you buy to make sure it will fit in the space on your work surface.…

Happy Halloween! It’s that time of year when we get to dress up just for the sheer fun of it! But Halloween is not a modern holiday, it dates back over 2000 years ago. When ancient Celts commemorated the end of the harvest season, between the fall equinox and the winter solstice by lighting bonfires, dancing and wearing masks to ward off spirits – sound familiar? Over the years this evolved, (10th century) when Christianity adapted this celebration to All Saints Day on the 1st November, and the 2nd of…

Gingersnaps

27th June 202227th June 2022 Sallyfood0 comment

Gingersnaps aren’t just for Christmas, thin, crunchy and full of spice, they are easy to make and ideal for your biscuit treat. July the 1st is National Gingersnap day so it’s only right that this week’s recipe is dedicated to Gingersnaps!

Steam Generator A steam generator produces more heat than a traditional steam iron, this is due to the larger water tank in the base, and the separate boiler ensuring steam is produced quicker. Thanks to the larger water tank you can iron continuous for longer… up to 2 hours for some models! This type of iron produces…
