Even if you’re just boiling water for pasta, it’s important to turn the range hood on (if you have one) or run a fan and open the window.
Cooking or even just turning on a stove or stovetop can give off fumes and particles that can be harmful. So make it a new habit to ventilate before you even start cooking! It will take awhile but before long, it will become second nature.
