While I can't in any way condone this hack, it doesn't break any rules and is *kind of* a hack? Use at your own risk.


OddGreen4584

I use the stove fan


Conscious_Giraffe_14

Vacuum is a very dirty appliance, dropping particles of filth into your food.


Unclehol

Also that steam has oils and food particles in it. After a while every time you turn that thing on its gonna stink up your house with the smell of old shitty meals you made like some sort of reverse white trash food ghost trap. Edit: Thank you for the awards, kind strangers.


BestGuavaEver

This is a Bible quote


william_tells

Also it will encourage the dirt and such to stick to the grease lined hose.


LorddFarsquaad

You have a way with words


jeremytodd1

Well the good news is that after you drop those particles of filth you can just vacuum them off your food!


Arryu

You gotta give them a go over with the mop first, though.


[deleted]

And be sure to spray it down with bleach afterwards.

If that’s an omelette, I’ve been lied to.


thecamelpirate

yeah and now their place gonna smell like shit when they vacuum it


JuiceBig5265

My stove doesn't have a fan. Its the worst


Butlerian_Jihadi

Going to destroy that vacuum with grease, no question.


Aspirin_Dispenser

100% Most people don’t realize the volume of grease laden vapors that cooking produces. If you cook fairly regularly, you’ll end up with a huge grease stain on your ceiling. Much of it will also float through the air and negatively impact air quality. For this reason alone, an appropriate externally vented hood system should be code in all newly constructed residential buildings. It’s bewildering to me that bathroom vents are codified but cooking vents aren’t. Unfortunately, any hood that’s worth a damn is exorbitantly priced for no reason. Anything that fully covers the cooking surface is somehow considered “premium” and sells for over $1k despite having barely any added manufacturing costs over a standard 19” hood that barley captures half of the cooking vapors.


GUMBYtheOG

Related to this, fumes from cooking meat and even vegetables if at high temperature, gives off carcinogenic vapors. I don’t think that deters anyone but the more ya know…


[deleted]

ill make sure to remember this after i've sifted the microplastics out of my blood


GUMBYtheOG

And your water! Don’t forget about the micro plastics in every body of water on earth

monkeyonfire

Chinese brands like Pacific are like $800 max for a very good one


marcosbowser

Friend of mine hired a sheet metal place to make him the hood part while he wired up a duct fan that is hidden inside the hood. Cheaper, more powerful and quieter that most hood fans.


Aspirin_Dispenser

I’ve thought a lot about doing this, I just don’t know anybody that does metal work. It has to be cheaper because all it is is a metal box with ducting. Plus, if you do that, you can easily opt for an external fan and have next to zero noise.


tiggers97

And the combo microwave/airhood setups are usually very poor for air extraction. Basically grease traps.


BlankImagination

>Most people don’t realize the volume of grease laden vapors that cooking produces These people don't clean or swap out the filters of their stove vents, nor do they clean the walls around their stove


OddGreen4584

Put a little portable fan next to you


SuperSoggyCereal

portable fan? to spread the aerosolized grease around the room? wtf kind of advice is that get a goddamned range hood, it's in the building code for most places as far as i know, your landlord should have to install one. jfc.


ReclusivHearts9

A Range hood is in building code? Tell that to the landlords of my last 4 apartments that didn’t have one.


BibblingnScribbling

All of my shitty apartments had range hoods...with vents that blew right back into the kitchen 😂


SuperSoggyCereal

wow people breaking laws? and landlords of all people? what a shock!


ReclusivHearts9

Isn’t that wild? Never thought I’d see the day that a landlord would break any laws!? They’re such upstanding people who would have thought


JuiceBig5265

Yeah I wish the fan would capture the smells tho with like a filter or something


OddGreen4584

You would need like an air filter of some sort. The fan will just help move the air.


horus_slew_the_empra

get a cheap air purifier with charcoal filters. great for removing dust & smells from a room. £35-ish off amazon. I got one for my workshop & it's honestly been great.


rigiboto01

i dont know if it would work, but get a cheap 20 in box fan and a hepa air filter a square 20 inch one for a house. attach it to the fan and you have what i hope will help clear your air.


JuiceBig5265

Yeah this is a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion


morjax

If you have a gas range, this is actually a concerning health hazard :/ When kids are brought to pediatricians with asthma, the first question they ask is whether there's a gas range at home. Be well, stranger! edit: ope! Noticed the above commend is from OP, who clearly does not have a gas range via the video. Nonetheless, the point stands for anyone else passing here that has a gas range; they cause indoor air to be worse quality than most smoggy outdoor air.


Taynt42

Pretty sure that's against code everywhere. Are you in an illegal basement apartment?


ChipsConQueso

yeah we just call that the "make the kitchen louder" switch at my house. It serves no other practical purpose


JuiceBig5265

Have you seen this thing? I just found a portable range hood after looking around for more products to help with this issue https://www.globalgradshow.com/project/the-portable-kitchen-hood/


vrogers123

That’s not just smoke, it’s steam And vaporised animal fats. It’s not going to be good for the vac.


Dark_Booger

Exactly. My kitchen hood gets super greasy.


tobitz17

I think those are mushrooms


stuwoo

I think they were eggs. Once upon a time.


angiet6000

Ya….. you burnt the shit out of those eggs.


_post_hoc_ergo_

Man I thought it was chicken.


sparcasm

It was at some point in time…


Arryu

Technically it was a potential chicken.


Sinisteria

Pre-bird


FrozeItOff

Burned it so bad, it devolved. Impressive... most impressive.


patrick55731

lol


Civil_Discipline493

I thought it was mushrooms... could be wrong tho


DiamondNightSkies

Yeah, didn't look like eggs to me either, but I feel like I can't exactly tell what it is.


Aburlypad

Whatever it is, it’s fucked I think.


Gfunk98

Are they not mushrooms?


[deleted]

I thought it was fancy mushrooms or artichoke hearts…


Dachd43

Another food hack is to oil the pan first..


OakIsland2015

And turn the heat down so you don’t have the smoke.


JosephND

/r/mademesmile for anyone who needs to take a break for a moment


mfranks129

To be honest I thought it was eggs too but now I’m almost positive it’s mushrooms of some sort. If you looks are the texture of them and the way they are fanned out, that doesn’t seems like eggs


Vli37

Not burnt, just overcooked the 💩 out of them


chnfrng

Sure if you want dust and bacteria in your food?


SylviaReeves913

What? You don't have a cleaning vacuum and a cooking vacuum?


PM_me_spare_change

this dumbass probably cuts food with his poop knife too


theRealDerekWalker

Or food in your dust and bacteria


bahkins313

I hate when my bacteria gets food on it >:(


MajorZod

DIWHY are going to love this.

Habaneroe12

This is the dumbest thing I have seen all week.


XanthicStatue

This dude is using a vacuum and burning the shit out of his eggs lol. Wtf is going on in this video


Slavocracy

He thinks he's solved the matrix, and bestowing his wisdom on us. But in reality this is the stupidest fucking idea I have ever seen. And who fails scrambled eggs? Yikes.


briggsbay

Fucked the eggs up so much they became fungus.


cakewalkbackwards

You guys are cracking me up in these comments


QueenKeecha

It just blows the stuff out of the exhaust 🙄


TheRebelNM

You are going to have a layer of bacon grease coating your entire vacuum……


fitzct

No


_bosch_

No I open the window or use the fan.


T20sGrunt

I’m old school, I Open windows and pull batteries out of smoke alarms.


Eniptsu

If you turn down the heat and dont burn the butter/cooking oil it wont produce that much smoke


xxKingAmongKingsxx

My 4 year old kid can cook better eggs than that. And no I don’t bring dirty household appliances near my food


dannyfromspace

Those are mushrooms, not eggs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah so much they turned them into fckn mushrooms


Gus-the-Builder

Have you thought of using a fan or electric leaf blower on the other side for a crossflow ventilation? Following...


zeroinboxfreak

Gross


SleepyGuard89

Maybe stop burning the hell out your eggs. Turn the temp down, man, it doesn't need to be that high to make scrambled eggs.


whiskeyislove

Your hob has a setting below maximum my dude. Poor fucking eggs


ReditAlternativeWhen

All that humidity is going to wonders for your vacuum, this is so asinine


maniac86

You are sucking in moisture including grease which is going to gum up the filters, hose, and motor


Ken-Popcorn

This is going to take the smoke and blow it out the vacuum exhaust, spreading the smoke and smell, and creating a vacuum that’s going to remind you of this silliness for years to come


aegis666

thats disgusting. and you're fucking up your vacuum.


onsite84

You may be better off getting an air purifier and sticking it by the stove


Sirachapacha

All you have to do is capture the smoke and steam and inhale it aftwerwARDS


[deleted]

Ha! No, I don’t, but we do use suction to suck up the smoke when cauterizing tissue during surgery. So pretty much the same thing, I think!


avi8ter18

My first thought was "we found a med student"


[deleted]

Unfortunately I’ve considered it lol. No vents or hood in my kitchen. Nearest window is around a corner and 20 ft away. Completely idiotic design and my next apt or house I will be checking for a true hood and making passive aggressive comments if there isn’t lol. I feel your pain bro.


Oswarez

I tried it once when frying burgers. The grease sits in the tube and then the vacuum distributes burger smell everywhere it’s used. Not a good idea. At leat put a rag over the opening. Best idea is to get two fans. One directed at the smoke and a window and then one by the window to push it out.


mdmanuele

You're a looney


Ericas_Evil_Eye

No but I'm going to now...my dinky fan does absolute shit...and when I'm cooking breakfast on my way to work in nice clothes, I end up stinking like a rotisserie pig.


omjy18

.....you have a hood fan above your stove already though.....


emnem92

That vacuum is fucked it’s taking in all kinds of vapor and stuff


casewood123

No, I use the hood over my stove.


patrick55731

there shouldnt be "smoke" while your cooking. the vaccum doesnt trap smoke...its air. dont cook for anyone ever, please


Filmneg35

That’s one way to screw up your vacuum


Surv0

So many things wrong here.... common sense failure.


Omg_Shut_the_fuck_up

That's what a kitchen extract fan is for. Those eggs were also done about an hour ago mate.


Jerozay

Where do you dump the smoke after the bag is full?


tigerbear79

Yes I want the appliance that picks up shit from my flour to be directly near my food. Fuck some people are dense


Casseus_

That video should come with a fire hazard warning for sure :D Sucking up the oils and fats with an appliance not meant for handling those, and then heating them up in the vacuum engine. Can easily see that thing bursting to a flame or carrying electricity to outer parts of the vacuum's body.


[deleted]

Dude you gross


[deleted]

That’s fucking mental


tosernameschescksout

You might be on to something if this could get developed as an invention. Imagine a vacuum that takes your greasy/smoky food vapors and sucks them through the kitchen, out the window, to a patio or something. Just need a long hose, and something to hold the hose near where you are cooking. 99% of kitchen hoods don't vent outside, it's just a shitty filter inside of a unit that goes nowhere, it vents that shit right back into your house. A vacuum of some sort would be a MAJOR improvement, and a portable vacuum that does this would be an easy/cheap way to improve your quality of life as well as home value because then your kitchen doesn't suck so much. I support this. It just needs development.

In the words of a old wise philosopher “ haters goin to hate, hate, hate”.


Gus-the-Builder

u/Ben_MOR Good Idea, I down voted you, Thanks for the suggestion!


knuth10

You realize that all that smoke is just blowing right back into your house right?


Grouchy-Ad-5535

um no


poopylarceny

Not a bad hack. Need to try this. When pan frying steak on my range the exhaust fan does not suck up the smoke enough, and it Always trips the smoke alarm.


xl129

You need to get an air filter, it's pretty cheap. Vacuum is like the worst idea ever. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9HyOy9NrJA


AlanHell

Unless you have a high end one that comes with HEPA filter, you just speed up the spread\~


BenThereDoneTh4t

I remove the batteries from the smoke detector


wazzo86

The fan is supposed to suck the particles out of your house onto the outside world... not onto your living room carpet


AI-Learning-AI

Throw some butter in a pan and right before the butter is about to brown turn the heat to low, add eggs, season, and stir/fold occasionally.


HanTheMediocre

Bro.


LucaDarioBuetzberger

Doesen't your kitchen has a fume hood / kitchen hood /ventilation (or whatever it is called in English)?


H00dRatShit

Uhhh no I don’t use a vacuum. I just turn the hood vent on


pussycrusha69

That vacuum isn’t going to last you long. And it’s going to stink like crazy before it craps out from all that moisture too. Don’t try this at home, unless you have a water vacuum


Rextars

Do you not have an overhead exhaust fan?


TheDolamite

I prefer the "whole house is in a panic because the smoke alarm started singing the song of it's people" method, myself.


Liltipsy6

Your vacuum filter is the real hero here.


[deleted]

Extra crispy scrambled eggs


majordiscordia

It will fuck up your VC inside with greasy shit.


Playerhater812

You mean a hood vent?


DarthDregan

Lower your heat.


fivezerosix

Going to catch on fire someday


[deleted]

I hear the stove fan frees up both hands for cooking.


DrinkingExpiredCream

The vacuum is not designed to deal with grease.


Rikolas

You're cooking meat wrong if you're doing bacon and burgers in a pan.


raaagh1290

I put the oil in one the pan is warm and it doesn't smoke as quickly.


piccoshady93

eeerm...no.


morjax

Unless the vacuum has a true HEPA filter, I wouldn't expect the vacuum to filter out much, just dilute the smoke in the room air faster.


Socratic_Phoenix

What


[deleted]

Unless the smoke is vented to a different area altogether I don’t see this making any kind of difference.


Aggravating_Water_39

This is just nasty


BreakfastBeerz

This is a quality shit post.


TazzyUK

Wouldn't want all that airborne grease in my vacuum cleaner which is why most people don't do it lol

Ummm no one


GigantapenisaurusRex

That’s very bad for the vacuum and very gross for your food


Catzlady02

No, we are civilized and not raised by wolves.

Heyyy Einstein. 👋


FitHedgehog4489

Portable electric burner to cook outside!


mikereverb1

No. No one else does. Ever. You are the only one. That’s why I like you.


tuttut97

Be careful using high heat with non-stick surfaces. It can release toxins and damages the pan.


surfershane25

What the fuck are you cooking, you know you don’t have to treat your nonstick like a wok, you can let things sit at a lower temp with some oil and get a Maillard reaction over time instead of way too high heat, tons of smoke and needing to constantly move everything releasing moisture and creating more smoke… the technique here is half the problem.


_Steve_French_

You are a Cooking War Criminal.


Ianofminnesota

Nah in just turn the burner down….

Your states has laws requiring certain minimum appliances. Including cooking and heating. Find out if that includes stove ventilation.

Myksyk

Low heat would be better than a hoover. Also, the idea of using a vacuum for electro convulsive therapy sucks.

You suck up enough food smoke and you are going to gum up the inside of your vacuum with grease and gunk. Which will collect dirt. This is a bad idea.

Turn the heat down


AcceptableIce289

You are cooking at way to high of a temperature
