FACEMASK hack - you have to try this to believe it!

The cheap, blue, flimsy surgical ones that have a super loose fit around the sides...can be altered easily for a snug fit.
1. Fold the mask in half horizontally (the long way) [so you have a long thin rectangle]
2. Tie a knot in the right earloop string where both ends attach to the mask, as close to the mask as possible
3. Do the same for the left earloop string
4. On each side, tuck in the open hole above the knot to be under the knot
5. Fit the mask over your nose and chin now and look in the mirror at the difference

This will actually work with any mask that is loose fitting around the ears.

tl:dr version.... Tie the ear loops for a tighter fitting mask

Pans are always easier, was talking about grilling.

Were do you get chicken breast with skin on?
I was talking about skinless boneless. the difference between perfectly cooked/juicy, and dry non edible breasts, can be 30 seconds.
Chicken breasts have very little fat, unlike the other proteins you mentioned.

you gotta do it with skin on. Break down your own chickens. It's actually very easy.

Extremely tricky to nail the temp. on those IMO

pretty easy. Even easier in a cast iron or any searing pan. Thats the only way we do it. Crispy skin! same with salmon, bronzino, trout, halibut, steaks

Cook with refined Avocado oil. has an extremely high smoke point.

only 520F. cast iron on high will be significantly higher

Cool, thanks. Is that something that can be used in a small residential kitchen? And does it need to be installed permanently or do you put it in as needed?

needs to be installed. Alternatively, if you have two windows opposite each other, you can put a box fan or window fan in the window closest to the stove and it should work the same

Any recommendations for reducing smoke when using a cast iron grill pan indoors? I know that I need to get it super hot to get a good enough sear, but at a certain point, it's not worth it due to the smoke.

extractor fan (commercial grade)
