Turn your fan on!

Frying foods is the essence of Chinese or Cantonese cooking. Do you know that frying foods at high temperatures releases fumes that the International Agency for Research on Cancer describes as “probably carcinogenic,” and using non-stick cookware on high heat might also release cancer-causing chemicals.
Research from Norway has found that cooking on a gas stove produces more potentially harmful fumes than cooking at the same temperature on an electric range. The worst combo they concocted? Margarine on a gas stove. It is suggested using a fan, running it on high and letting it run for 15 more minutes after you’re done.
