Most pizza stones are made with a high-grade cordierite material, which allows them to tolerate the heat of your grill or outdoor pizza oven, which was one of the best investments I ever made.

Of the more than 250 readers who responded, a 73% majority said gas-powered leaf blowers should be allowed, while 26% backed the bans.

Wind is actually the bigger issue. Wind whips around your grill, stealing heat faster than your briquettes can create it. It pushes rain sideways onto your food, snuffs out your flames, and makes maintaining a steady temperature nearly impossible.

According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), the most common cause of kitchen fires is unattended cooking. The best way to protect yourself and your home is to be proactive about fire prevention and prepared to quickly and safely extinguish a fire. First, make sure everyone in your household is aware of key kitchen safety rules.

Checking your equipment once a month helps catch small issues before they turn into expensive repairs. A routine keeps everything running smoothly and extends the life of the hardware. Managers should create a simple checklist for their maintenance staff to follow.

A range hood is a mechanical ventilation system installed above a cooktop or range. Its primary job is to remove cooking byproducts, moisture, and odors. Some models vent air outside through ductwork. Others recirculate air through filters and send it back into the kitchen. While both options may look similar, their performance is not the same.

In most cases, the air fryer uses less electricity than a toaster oven. Air fryers are typically rated between 1,200 and 1,800 watts, while toaster ovens can range from 1,200 up to 2,400 watts depending on size and features.

Since the duo got together as fellow students at Goldsmiths Centre for Research Architecture in 2013, they have been using the production and consumption of food as the focus for numerous long-term, site-specific projects that address how we should live-and eat in particular-in the face of climate change. As they put it: "Food is both deeply connected to the environment and to ecology but at the same time is also intersectional: every living organism on this planet is invested and preoccupied with processes of metabolism, ingestion and the acquisition of nutrients."

"The best preventative solution is to run your range hood fan," Uebergang tells Tasting Table. "This shapes the airflow to direct the airborne particles away from porous surfaces that are so good at absorbing [odors]," she adds. The main reason why fried food smells linger is that pan-frying creates tiny droplets of grease and moisture that can land on towels, curtains, and any other nearby surfaces.

One thing that stood out was the home environment. This was the largest contributor to children's daily particle pollution exposure more than school or commuting. This was mainly due to indoor sources such as wood burning and indoor smoking. Short peaks in particle pollution were linked to home cooking and secondhand tobacco smoke. Home heating with a fire or stove was linked to longer exposures. In some cases, these persisted overnight in children's bedrooms as fires remained lit or smouldering with poor ventilation.

My aunt regularly hosts my family, and every time she laments how challenging it is to juggle multiple dishes in a single oven, causing her to frantically reheat one side at a time so everyone enjoys a warm meal. But between you and me, something's always lukewarm (or just plain cold) in the end, making a trip to the microwave inevitable.

Fortunately, there's nothing super eclectic going on with 2026's hottest kitchen trends, making them easy to incorporate and suitable for pretty much any aesthetic.

When temperatures hit below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and stay there for an extended period of time, there's a quick tip that home cooks can rely on to keep their kitchens in good working order all winter long: Simply open your under-the-sink cabinet doors at night, especially those attached to an outside wall. As it freezes, water trapped inside your pipes hardens and expands, filling the pipe with intense pressure that can create a crack at your pipe's weakest point.

Air fryers have vents at the back that allow them to cool down through the process, and it's important those vents don't get blocked - otherwise, your appliance can melt or catch on fire. "As a general rule ... it's important not to place your air fryer on any uneven surfaces, on top of flammable materials, or too close to walls to avoid any accidents,"

When Derek Eder started looking for an all-electric heating system for his 100-year-old home in Oak Park, some local furnace installers refused to work with him, saying the technology wasn't up to the challenge of a Midwestern winter. Other installers told him they'd do the job, but only if he invested in a natural gas backup system for very cold days. But Eder, who was trying to go all-electric at home to fight climate change, pressed on, eventually finding a local company that was happy to replace his gas furnace with two high-efficiency electric heat pumps and an all-electric backup system.
