How do you manage your huge or small kitchen? Kitchen is part of a room used for cooking and food preparation for residential or commercial establishment. Nothing beats enjoying a warm and delicious meal at home. Family cooks are pressured to deliver the same standards by restaurants with the meals they prepare on a daily basis. How does one pull this off?
Aside from picking the best ingredients and choosing the perfect recipes to suit your family’s taste buds, it is important that your kitchen equipment can aid you in delivering top quality entrees. Trust the Japanese to come up with state-of-the-art cooking appliances that will aid homemakers in coming up with the best dishes fit for a royal family.
Founded in 1920, Hidejiro Naito and Kanekichi Hayashi started manufacturing and selling pressurized oil cooking stoves in Japan. Barely 10 years since its inception, they have expanded into different cooking appliances, including cooking stoves, hobs, range hoods and ranges.
Rinnai’s continuous technological improvements have made it a global brand, reaching countries all over the globe, including the Philippines. The year 2009 was the year Rinnai arrived in our shores. “Rinnai is a proponent of innovative, safe and energy efficient appliances. In the case of the Philippine market, Rinnai focused on certain cooking appliances that are used everyday and innovated on them to make these appliances more functional, safe and efficient,” shares Mr. John Chuakaw, general manager of Rinnai Philippines.

Range Hoods
- Steel motor versus plastic motor for most other brands. Range hoods are often exposed to heat and plastic motors are less durable to heat compared to steel motors.

Rinnai chose to use only one motor, because it is more energy efficient. Wattage for Rinnai range hoods is set at 225 watts, while other brands hover around 290 watts and above.
Freestanding Ranges
- Sabaf burners are used for all of Rinnai’s freestanding ranges. Sabaf is considered the best producer of freestanding burners in the world.

- Rinnai electric ovens have nine functions compared to other brands which have less.
The Rinnai user
Last February 26, Rinnai invited handpicked homemakers to try its appliances first hand. TV host and mom Bambi del Rosario-Young lead the event with a cooking class that showcased the power and flexibility of Rinnai stoves. Within a short span of time, Bambi was able to cook three dishes simultaneously: Beef Gyudon, Parmesan Herb-Crusted Salmon, and Steamed Asparagus and Mushroom.
Prior to the event, Bambi spent weeks testing the stove. And the verdict? “It is innovative. For a small sized stove, I am pleasantly surprised by its three-in-one function. It is a griller, oven, and stove, all at the same time. For busy moms like me, this is a game changer.”
John adds that Rinnai delivers the best products, thanks to the continuous improvements using Japanese technlogy, “Rinnai is used by people who want long-term relationships with their appliances. Through innovation, Rinnai is able to come up with everyday products that are dependable, safe, and long-lasting.”
