Does an electric crepe maker require a hood and ventilation? - Interior of modern apartment with armchair and lamp placed near kitchen area

I have an electric crepe maker and was wondering whether it is required to have a hood with ventilation to the outside of the building?



Best Answer

Doubtful (assuming we're talking about something along the lines of this, if its some kind of commercial unit doing 10 at a time, get a hood).

Crepes don't typically output enough fumes or smoke of any kind in quantity and an electric crepe maker should be even better on that front. There may be a bit of steam, but nothing that should warrant an vent outside.
