Whether you’re working on your latest culinary masterpiece, or simply washing the dishes and getting the grime out of the spoons, it pays to have a cool, smell-free kitchen. Some chefs install dehumidifiers, while housewives prefer to spray air fresheners. Another option for you, however, is to install kitchen fans.

Why would kitchen fans be useful? Kitchen fans can keep out steam, smoke, and grease, three particularly dangerous things to have in the kitchen. Steam can damage your eyes and skin, and draw moisture into your kitchen, damaging woodwork and metal finishing. Smoke, of course, can burn your eyes, and stain your furniture. Grease, when kept for too long, can attract insect pests such as cockroaches, introducing bacteria into your kitchen.

Kitchen fans, wherever they may be placed, are meant to keep the smoke, and hence, the smells out of your kitchen. They can be installed over a stove, near a food preparation area, near your cabinets, or high up in your attic.

Kitchen Exhaust Fans

Kitchen fans can be positioned anywhere in a modern kitchen, with the most practical places being over a stove or oven. Kitchen exhaust fans, in particular, suck out the smoke of a kitchen, at the same time cooling it down, ventilating it, and allowing fresh air to enter.

An example of kitchen exhaust fans is the range hood, positioned over a stove or gas range, and designed to ease the problem of steam, smoke, and grease. The nutone range hoods, specifically, are created to keep your kitchen free from unwanted air and particulate matter.

The Cabinet Cooling Fan

If you use some of your kitchen cabinets to store food and spices, then you may need to install a cabinet cooling fan. Such fans will keep your food aerated – that is, it will keep your food from being the harbinger of dangerous microbes that require a low-oxygen environment to grow. Such microbes include those which cause botulism, and some deadly forms of diarrhea.

If you want to totally get rid of the smoke coming from your kitchen, which might damage furniture outside of it, then you may want to install an attic exhaust fan. Such fans, which include the broan attic fan, can draw harmful smoke and steam out of your house, keeping the air within your house fresh and free from contaminants.

Whatever way you want to keep your kitchen clean, and wherever you may want to ventilate it, keep in mind that kitchen fans can help you a good deal. Simply choose the best fan from your local dealers, keep the fan clean, and you’ll be on your way to having a fresher house and kitchen in no time.
