You might want to consider a vent hood as you may be breathing carcinogens from cooking. In fact, I've read several articles about inefficient vent hoods and high carcinogen levels in homes.

thank you reese1970, but I " cook", practically, only in my microwave or 1x a year on my stove top , believe it or not!!

You will notice a small wall vent beside the pans. It was very powerful, and I don't cook fatty foods, so it did the job OK. In an ideal world, I'd have a hood, but I'd have lost all that hanging room!
