Turn on the bathroom fan.]]> Sat, 16 Jan 2016 23:35:35 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69145#69145 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69115#69115 Author: furpod

I sometimes open the window behind the sink and stove and then turn on the FF.. it does a great job.. But the space is so small, it doesn't take much to reach whatever concentration is needed to set the thing off..]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2016 21:23:50 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69115#69115 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69114#69114 Author: StephenH

A shower cap is one option. I'll have to look for one. Eventually, I'd like to figure out a way to add a hood to the stove area, even if it only was one that used filters and recirculated the air inside instead of venting it outside.]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2016 21:19:19 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69114#69114 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69110#69110 Author: furpod

You pull the battery out of the smoke detector, just like everybody else does when cooking... 

Some owners have used a shower cap, placed over the detector while cooking also.

Okay, how about toast? We have an old stove-top toaster that is a perforated metal circle with collapsible wires to hold the bread or other item. The problem is that if we use it, the smoke detector will go off. Unfortunately, our R-Pod lacks a vent hood to take care of this. So, how does one make toast and save his/her hearing? (This is when AC is not available to power an electric toaster). ]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2016 20:02:12 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=69108#69108 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=41272#41272 Author: g4royce

Which one did you get?  We used to have the Norpro ones in aluminum but found that they warp over time.  We now use a cast iron one and it stays flat.]]> Tue, 17 Dec 2013 12:10:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=41272#41272 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=40870#40870 Author: Dawg Pod

We purchased a cast iron diffuser for the gas burners on the rPod because we found the flame level of the burners very hard to control, either blast or off essentially. The diffuser worked like a charm, providing very even heat and slowing the cooking process. No more burned corn cakes for us!]]> Sun, 24 Nov 2013 09:28:45 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4221&PID=40870#40870
