Electric induction cooking seems the safest way to cook.

Naked flames in a house - especially a closed one remove oxygen from the air & replaces it with those other nasties.
Most homes that have gas via bottles are supplied with LPG. I don't know what cities have a system of piped gas throughout the CBD & suburbs ... I thought all that old infrastructure had been removed ..... it certainly has in my city. All bottled LPG. So who is using not so "natural" gas? aka CSG. |

Adelaide has natural gas supplied via “pipes” under the ground.

How can fumes build up in a kitchen if you have
an air extractor fan on directly above your gas stove which you use whenever you cook? |

Japanese use stand-alone gas heaters (cabinet heaters - banned in AUS) in their homes, particularly older buildings, and the fumes are horrendous. Older buildings are so drafty it doesn't matter as much but I have seen them in new buildings too.

That is not a 6m sliding door. They must be very flimsy if a 5-year-old can open them.

A gas stove is particularly useful when the electricity goes out.
Hot water tea coffee - food. My parents home had an old 1920's gas light in the kitchen. Also had a full fireplace with old style chimney. You only had a problem if you forgot to open the Flue damper. We burned coal till after the 60's. There was always lots of ventilation before we started the fire as the risks were well known. The chimney had to be regularly cleaned. I have always preferred to cook on gas. The current electric oven burns everything. It's the most useless piece of carp I have ever had. |

Sliding and rolling are not the same actions. Sliding requires much more force than roll8ing. A 60+ kg door cannot feel weightless. Evidently, Dnarever has never owned a sliding glass door. Quote:

thanks. I've twice lived in homes where I've had gas and more times where is it electricity. Overall I prefer electricity. It's easier and probably cheaper to get just one bill, certainly with solar panels on the roof, electric is the go. It's less hassle to use electric and I found overall not quicker to use gas. With gas I prepare the veges, then turn the gas on. With electricity I prepare 1/2 the veges, then turn the electric hob on, then do the other 1/2 of the veges. Gas or electric, it just changes the time when I turn the heating on. The time from walking into the kitchen to everything being cooked is pretty similar |

Caravans have extractor fans too idiot.

No, recirculating range hoods filter smoke and smells but wouldn't remove carbon monoxide. People don’t die because the amount of CO even with all burners going isn't concentrated enough. If you had a huge stove one a 2/m kitchen with all the doors and windows closed you'd die. Laughs assertion is partially true because some houses are poorly designed. I'd suggest in Australia less so where the weather is better and windows and doors open. In my situation, a top line range hood next to a huge sliding door. Small kitchen should have a CO detector. |

Heads, you lose, Bobby. "fans can help, but they only cut pollutant levels in half". Perhaps Bobby is addicted to Nitrous Oxide and gaseous Formaldehyde from his gas cooker and Bobby puts a hood over his own head to maximize pollutant infusion." "Exposure to nitrogen oxides, produced when gas is burned, is linked to respiratory problems such as asthma and decreased lung function, especially in children. For example, a 2013 meta-analysis of 41 studies found that children living in a home that used gas for cooking had a 42 per cent increased risk of having asthma." "Kahan's measurements found that not only did levels of nitrogen oxide pollutants sometimes exceed Health Canada guidelines for a one-hour exposure, but the pollutants often lingered for a couple of hours." "Rob Jackson, professor of environmental sciences at Stanford University, co-authored a recent study that found gas stoves leak unexpectedly high levels of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, even when they're off — and they generate significant levels of indoor air pollution." "Lem added that nitrogen oxides aren't the only pollutants released when cooking on gas stoves — others include formaldehyde, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, which can be deadly." "Kahan said hood fans can help, but they only cut pollutant levels in half." "Not only did Jackson's study find that gas stoves leak more methane than thought, but newer, more expensive stoves were no less leaky than older, cheaper ones. He suspects there's no other way to fix the problem." Bobbies head versus scientific measurement. Heads, you lose Bobby. |

AGL was about the second formed company on the stock exchange in 1837 and started providing town gas in 1841. i.e no fan vents needed for at least the first 130 years. Guess there were ventilation rules. i.e Need to have a door the room size matters and a kitchen will need a window or ventilation. Currently an external fan / vent is required in NSW. While it is a good idea people did survive with it as the major cooking method for well over 100 years with no external ventilation required. When you look at house designs you mostly find a kitchen with an external door close by and a window. |
