When cooking, should you open the window or keep it closed?
Many times, we are afraid of oil fumes polluting the air, so when cooking, we tend to open the windows in the hope of ventilating the kitchen quickly. However, did you know that this action may actually hinder the effective extraction of oil fumes by the range hood?
When the windows are open, the expelled oil fumes may quickly return to the kitchen. It is recommended to close all doors and windows in the kitchen while cooking. Instead, start the range hood first, making it the sole outlet for oil fumes. This creates a slight negative pressure in the kitchen, which is more effective in expelling oil fumes.
To protect your health, start with safe breathing. When dealing with kitchen oil fumes, consider wearing a :dc mask.
