Range Hoods Clear the Smoke

If you live in a home where the smoke detector serves as the dinner bell, perhaps it is time to choose one of the many available new range hoods.

There are times that cooking produces smoke. That smoke is often a mixture of burned food, grease, water vapor and other chemicals that should not be breathed. In order to quickly remove that smoke from the room, a range hood offers ventilation to the outside or through a filtering system.

When deep fat frying foods, there are often particles of previous batches of food left in the oil. When the oil is heated, these particles can burn and release smoke into the air. The range hood can effectively remove that smoke from the air.

If your recipe calls for searing meat, you know the problems with smoke the process can cause. If you turn on the fan before you begin cooking, that meat can be seared to perfection without filling the house with smoke.

Despite our best efforts, there are times when cooking that we have boil overs or spills. If those spills or boil overs hit the heating element on the range, they can create some very nasty smells as well as smoke. Turn on that trusty fan in the hood and the smells are taken care of immediately.

Have you ever had a spill in the oven? The spill may have happened last week without our realizing that it ever happened. Turn that oven on today however and the smoke will pour out the door. The range hood comes to the rescue once again.

Range hoods are made of sheet metal. They can be vented or unvented. The vented style is connected to a large duct that leads to the outside of the home. Smoke and cooking smells are drawn outside by a fan and dissipated in the air. These hoods require access to the outside from the kitchen.

An unvented range hood has a filtration system that removes smoke and odors from the air. The cleaned air is released back into the room.

Breathing smoke is not good for humans. There are chemicals in all smoke that can cause cancer and respiratory problems. A range hood is an effective way to remove the smoke from the air in your home. Be sure that you use your range hood anytime there is smoke in the kitchen. You will breathe better for it.
