I have a question for the cooking geniuses out there.
This summer I started cooking chicken breasts in a new way. I sear them on each side on the grill pan on top of my stove at high heat. This gives the nice grill marks. Then I bake them at 375 until they reach an internal temperature of 165 F.
The trouble is, the entire house fills up with smoke. My exhaust fan is one of those that runs the air through a filter, it doesn't actually exhaust. All summer, it's not a huge problem because the windows are all open (I don't have air conditioning), but I can see a problem coming in the winter.
Is there a way to reduce the smoke? Can I do something to my fan to help it filter? Is my furnace filter enough to reduce smoke in the winter?
