I know some (many?) of you cook, and I know we are a transnational group - might be the wrong term - how about global community. I'm interested in your kitchen. One disease I *had* in my home for decades is the lack of a proper range vent. You know, one of those things that when you turn it on, it vents stuff to OUT of the house. Around the late 70s in the US, house designs went cheap or bat crap stupid - you pick. Instead of venting range gases to the exterior, they "filtered" them and put it right back in the house. This might have been driven by trying to make houses more energy efficient, I honestly don't know.

Years later, I came across Asian co-workers who had HUGE vents (industrial grade) in their kitchens. I am certainly not judging as I love fried rice, but it made me start thinking about this venting issue. My house was built in 1988, and I have the blessing of a "whole house fan." Open a few doors and windows and this will ventilate your house in 10 minutes. I treasure it. Please keep in mind that with the # of children I've raised and am raising (10+ grand kids at the moment, not all are here), 100% efficiency went to hell and a hand basket a long time ago.

A few years ago, I redid my kitchen, and my mandate was - real vent fan. I'm interested - from across the world - are these normal? Also - do you cook on gas or electric? Up until 3 yeara ago, I was always electric. Take my gas range, and I'm going John Simmons on you.

Happy New Year and may you be blessed.
