How do you eliminate cooking smells?

I live in an apartment, and everytime I cook the whole kitchen reeks! especially when I cook salmon..

any ideas to eliminate the smell?

Yes I clean the kitchen after I cook

 
My mom works at a vet's office. They got this stuff that you spray in the air and it kills all smells really well. I forget what it's called though, but its normally used with animals.

ps. no it's not Lysol. It's some special thing in a normal pump bottle thinger.

use a vent hood if you have it. open windows for fresh air. use Ozium or like odor remover

my stupid apartment's vent hood doesnt go anywhere... it actually throws the air BACK into the apt..

A lot of places have those. It does have a filter in it that will help draw grease and things out of the air, so it's better than nothing.

But I'm with notfred. Cook food that doesn't stink. When I make a curry, I pretty much expect my house to smell like it for a week.

LOL same here. I got one that's integrated into the microwave. It's a retarded ventilation system 🙁

Febreeze? really works?
 
Do you fry a lot? I can't stand going into someone's place when they fry all the time. Gives the whole place a funk smell.

I love curry, but my wife doesnt want me to make anything with strong smell anymore, no deep frying too, my next house will have a professional exhaust that vent to the outside!

I deep fried once, and the whole place stinks!

I agree. Yes, most people here on ATOT hate the Ionic Breeze, but it works wonders as an odour killer. Whenever I'm cooking strong odour foods, I make sure the Ionic Breeze is sitting close by.
 
..don't you have a canopy over the range wit a fan sucking the fumes out?? I eat a lot of salmon too..used to eat lots of red snapper which tastes great..but has a very powerful odor hangover that my vent fan can't overcome..so I cook snapper on a small propane range on the back porch..
