For the harm of cooking fumes, especially for those with respiratory issues, inhaling cooking fumes may worsen the condition or cause asthma and respiratory inflammation. In addition, kitchen cooking fumes are indeed related to lung cancer.

According to a report from the World Health Organization, a study in the UK found that cooking for an hour on poorly ventilated, extremely low-efficiency cookware is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.

Cooking oil produces fumes at high temperatures, which contain many irritating and harmful substances that may damage the health of the respiratory system and skin.

Don't worry, cooking fumes are harmful, but there are some ways to protect yourself and your family:

Stir-fry with fresh oil

Do not choose cooking methods that involve frying, deep-frying, or excessive oil or heat.

Do not stir-fry in fats that have been previously fried or heated.

The smoke point of frying oil or oil mixed with impurities will significantly decrease, which means that more cooking fumes will be produced, causing greater harm to the health of the operator.

Different cooking methods require different oil temperatures. Stir-frying requires a temperature close to 300 degrees, which inevitably leads to a lot of smoke from the oil in the pan. Operating pots that are on fire will cause the oil temperature to exceed 300 degrees, reaching the temperature that produces a large amount of benzopyrene carcinogens. In addition, methods such as deep-frying and excessive oil use will inevitably lead to the repeated use of fats, thereby increasing the production of cooking fumes.

Stir-fry when the oil temperature is "80% hot"

When cooking, put the vegetables in before the cooking fumes become obvious, which can quickly cool the cooking oil and prevent it from overheating.

Improve kitchen ventilation

Turn on the range hood when cooking, wait 5 minutes after cooking, and then turn it off. Gas combustion produces various waste gases that should be expelled in a timely manner. Waiting until a large amount of cooking fumes is produced to turn on the range hood is already too late.

Everyone must turn on the range hood during the cooking process to avoid direct contact with cooking fumes, making it both delicious and healthy!
