  • Yeah I’ve been a little worried about that ….

    My detector does not measure NOx, so I have no idea. But now that the gas stove is gone it’s no longer relevant

    And yeah, definitely concerned about ventilation. I also have a pretty powerful inline exhaust fan, however there is no hood at all. The previous owners installed a pot rack in place of the hood and the kitchen is small enough that I can’t really change that. The exhaust fan is just a ceiling vent. I have no idea whether that balances out as positive (strong fan) or negative (no hood), but now that the gas stove is gone, that’s also a bit less important.

    I don’t know if visual spatter/smoke, or smell are useful indicators but the induction stove has less of these. It only cooks what I intend



  • I’m similar. Surprisingly quick jumps in particulates and voc in the family room when the stove in the kitchen was turned on.

    I don’t notice it on small electric appliances (but never explicitly tested them), and no longer have a gas stove

    I also have a hepa filter in the family room that would come on surprisingly quickly and made a significant difference …. When it was new. Unfortunately that has gotten bumped so many times that it is usually throwing an error
