And replace that old carbon monoxide detector. You know, our stove tried to kill us.
Cooking on Back Burners Better for Indoor Air?
If you have a gas stove, researchers advise doing three things to increase the health of your indoor air:
- Make sure the fan over the stove vents to the outside. If it doesn’t, consider having a better exhaust system installed. In general, vents that best captured pollutants use metal hoods to temporarily trap gas and soot so the fan can blow them outside.
- Turn the vent fan on while cooking.
- When possible, cook on the back burners of the stove.
