Electric Pasta Cooker Need a Hood?

[pizzapirate]

I’m looking into getting an electric pasta cooker (similar to the oil fryers). I know codes vary, but generally does anyone know if they would require a hood? I would think not since no gas is involved and steam is the only thing given off.

Depends on the city. Ours said anything that even makes steam must have a vent. Even the dishwasher. Seriously.

Hello pizza, In most of the northeast here you wouldn’t need no sort of hood for an electric heated pasta cooker.

Hi Pizzapirate;

The national building code calls foe a class 2 " no filters" hood over any steam producing product. Gas or electric is not a determining factor in ventilation.

You will have to make up any air exhausted by the hood you use.
