fried bacon troubles.

[ghbt]

Hi, we live in a small flat with open plan kitchen joining with the living
room. Our son is very fond of 'fried' bacon which he likes fried up so that
it's very crispy.

Consequently he really stinks the flat up, and the smell lasts for ages !
Any suggestions please; as to how to either get rid of the smell once there
or prevent it being too bad when he fries the bacon in the first place.

I know an extractor fan leading to the outside would be the answer, but i
dont need the expense at the moment. We have a simple fan in the cooker hood
which simply draws the air through some charcoal and a filter and then puts
it back into the room, so i dont believe it is really of benefit.

grateful for any suggestions, thanks.

I don't see the problem! The smell of fried bacon is one of the
best smells in the world. If they put out a room freshener with
a fried bacon scent I'd probably buy it. But then again it would
just make me hungry for bacon so maybe that wouldn't be such a
good idea. ;-)

However, if he's "burning" the bacon - a sin if there ever was
one - then I can see how you'd want to get rid of the smell.
The best way would be to get rid of the son as he is committing
sacrilege by burning perfectly good bacon.

Yup, have him get friendly with the kid next door and introduce him to
crispy bacon.

Robert, there is no pre-cooked bacon.

I think they have it ......

I agree, and I can't think of a way to reduce the smell of frying
bacon. Perhaps if the son broils the bacon instead of frying it, more
of the smell will stay in the oven? Though that still seems like a
solution in search of a problem.
