Could I use this on top of a cooking range to pick up the odor while cooking?

If you have the space over your cooking area that would be ideal. Also keep in mind the filter would have to be change more often

You technically could but all the oil and fumes from cooking is going to severely shorten the life of your filter. It's not worth it. I would get something specifically for cooking or made to install in a fume hood.

No, I don't think it would work for that. Perhaps you could strategically place a few open boxes of baking soda? I think you'd also first need to remedy the underlying cause of the odor.

I have it in my cats room by their litter box. I don't think it will reduce cooking smells... I always just turn on the kitchen fan and or open a window depending on what I'm cooking. The filter doesn't seem strong enough to me to pull the cooking odor out the air.

Yes. I have used this at home during Super Storm Sandy and during a snow storm when we lost power, (WE HAVE A TOTAL ELECTRIC HOME). It's no different than cooking on your gas range. There are no fumes from the butane fuel. These are the same burners used at restaurant buffets. We love it. Hope this helps you.JCD

My house is 2200 sq ft but I only use it in the family kitchen area. I don't like cooking odors lingering.

I use mine often while hunting. The vent on the unit above the heating mat gets warm, almost hot to the touch. Smoke emits from the top, and there is a pleasant smell. If used inside, I would have it near an open window.

No. It would outgas and could contaminate food. Though, anything that doesn't heat up is okay.

I've never done that, but I don't see why not. I boil a mix of vinegar and water for cleaning in much of my cookware - stainless and non-stick. It makes for easy clean up with no lingering odor or flavor.

You can have a charcoal filter installed in the fan (I think you have to order it separately, but I would double check on that). I have the charcoal filter in mine but it does very little in terms of neutralizing cooking odors in the kitchen (and does nothing for smoke). My old range had a hood that vented the air outside and the fan on this microwave does not even come close in quality to a vented hood.

You can, but I would not. In an oven, they will just dry out unless they ignite. I think the smoke/cedar odor would stay in your kitchen long after you used them. They work best in an outside grill over an open flame with a lot of ventilation.

Yes, though the container is small. And of course if you use the same grinder for coffee or spices t will pick up the odors.

I purchased this to prevent cooking ordors from going into my bedrooms. Put it in the kitchen but didn't see a difference. I put it in the hallway leading to bedrooms and thats where it trapped the odors. So I would say it has to be in the area of need not. There is also the smell of the ion so I wouldn't want to be in the room at the time it is running.

Yes, it does smell when being used. A range hood can handle it, but if you don't have that, you may have a problem. It's fine for indoor use otherwise.

It works great for me in the oven but I would not recommend on top of the stove.

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

You could but it would take a bit longer to cook seeing as the charcoal is at the bottom. You can remove the top. It is really made for smoking I would not suggest it. The exterior may not handle all of the smoke..

I have a gas range and I always use it on the stove top before I put it in it's base and it works great. It doesn't matters what your heat source is because the bottom of it is just like a skillet.
