The impact on our air quality was readily significant.
I appreciate fried food, plus I appreciate making it myself at home; however, I hate the stink it leaves behind.
A few years ago our sister got me an amazing gift – a personal deep-dryer.
It holds 1 gallon of oil, plus has baskets that I can lower into the oil, basically it’s a miniature version of the sizable deep fryers they use in restaurants. I can actually make deep fried chicken or shrimp, crab rangoon, or deep fry an entire burrito. I have an entire cookbook of recipes just for the fryer, plus I am trying to make them all! As I said, there is a concern with the air quality, however cooking food in bubbling, hot boiling grease plus oil leaves a foul impression on the air quality, 1 that permeates the house for days afterward! Opening up the windows for natural ventilation is 1 way to argue this, however it has been so hot plus humid lately it seems like too much trouble to leave the windows open. I talked to our respected heating, ventilation, and also A/C tech about installing some modern ventilation device in the living room, possibly a range hood or exhaust fan. Even if I don’t cook greasy foods often, better ventilation in the living room is something I have needed for a long time. Most ovens come with a range hood to pull the foul stinks up through the HVAC duct plus out of the house, however mine doesn’t have 1. The price estimate wasn’t too costly, so I have no method to have the heating, ventilation, and A/C tech come back next month plus improve the ventilation in the living room.
