I wish my place had a hood. Dumb ass unvented microwave over the cooktop. It's ok at spreading smoke around the kitchen, absolutely useless as a hood.
I want to install a proper hood, but I don't want to march around on a 12/12 roof, or swim through the ocean of insulation in my attic.
First world problem.

I bought a portable Airhood, it's decent:

You're retired, it's time to realize you can't still do everything yourself.
Took me 8 years of retirement to figure that out, hopefully you're smarter
If it helps then it's a good thing
In this case there is plenty of room to run the duct across the back of the upper cabinets and out the sidewall, but the wife doesn't want to see a chase up there.
Like I said, first world problems.
I can still do most everything myself, but I've never been comfortable on anything steeper than 6/12. I've framed a 12/12 roof in the past, and swore I'd never do it again.You're retired, it's time to realize you can't still do everything yourself.

I have a useless piece of junk that sucks in a little bit of air and blows it out a foot away. Piece of trash should have been outlawed 30 years ago.I have a 850cfm range hood
Apparently I'm still a little upset about it.

Just replace it? Make a 6' hole in the wall if you don't have vent to outside. I had the microwave/air circulator POS before, only useful if you just boil water/sauce.

I don't even have a working range hood, used to use the microwave fan but had to eliminate the roof chimney as it was causing ice dam issues, even when it was not in use. If I were to redo the kitchen I think I would move stuff around so I could just vent through an outside wall. I'd just have to move the oven and microwave to the opposite side then move the sink where the range is now. I have full access to the crawlspace below so doing those changes on the plumbing and electrical side would be easy enough. Not a priority though and probably not going to happen any time soon. In winter, any excess humidity is a welcome thing and in summer I either have the AC or I can open windows.
What would be nice is a whole house HRV setup where the bathroom fan and kitchen hood vent are part of it, so that way you don't lose the heat by sucking so much air outside. Just have them run either on demand or at intervals. Could dump the fresh air into the bedrooms or something.

FWIW, all parts of the Instant Pot, with the exception of the electromic cooker base, are dishwasher safe!

I have actually given that some thought and may actually legit do it when I build my off grid cabin. Yes I plan to have a dishwasher even off grid, because nobody says being off grid means you have to live like a caveman.
The best part about dual dishwasher is that you never actually have to put dishes away, you just use dishes from the clean one then put in the dirty one after, then switch. It's brilliant!
I find it surprising that you have enough dishes to need a dishwasher. When I was single I owned enough dishes for two people to eat.I have actually given that some thought and may actually legit do it when I build my off grid cabin.

I still have a whole dish set. Once the dishwasher is full I run it. Maybe once a week.

I wash dishes by hand and wouldn't do it any other way. I have a dishwasher that's never been run by me. It stores plasticware I seldom use.
I'm too old to collect dishes, and they cost more than I care to spend, but having mix/match sets is cool. Most of mine are Pfaltzgraff Folk Art pattern. Most I got from the thriftshop cause they don't make it anymore. If I cared more, I wouldn't mind having different colors of Fiestaware.
