How long should we leave the kitchen range hood on?

The duration for which you should leave the kitchen range hood on depends on the cooking process and the specific circumstances in your kitchen. The main purpose of a range hood is to remove cooking odors, smoke, grease, and potentially harmful airborne particles, so the duration may vary based on the following factors:

Cooking Intensity: If you’re frying, grilling, or cooking with a lot of oil or spices that generate a significant amount of smoke and odors, it’s a good practice to keep the range hood on during and for some time after cooking. This helps ensure that the kitchen remains free of odors and pollutants.

Cooking Time: The longer you’re cooking, the longer you should run the range hood. For example, if you’re roasting a turkey for several hours, it’s advisable to leave the range hood on for the entire cooking duration and some time afterward to clear any lingering odors.

Ventilation Efficiency: Modern range hoods come with different fan speeds. Higher fan speeds are more effective at removing smoke and odors but can be noisier. You can adjust the fan speed based on the cooking activity and the efficiency of your range hood.

Kitchen Size and Ventilation: The size of your kitchen and its ventilation system can also influence how long you need to run the range hood. Larger kitchens may require more time to effectively clear the air.

After-Cooking Period: It’s a good practice to leave the range hood on for a few minutes (typically 10-15 minutes) after you finish cooking to ensure that any remaining odors and pollutants are adequately removed.
