An oven that eliminates fish smells?

Question

I work part time in a cooking store. A customer told me he had recently visited his in-laws in Korea. He described an oven that his in-laws had which cooks fish with no odor. I got the impression the oven was counter-top, like a toaster oven.

Does anyone know of this product?

Answer 1

Reducing fish smell...

I've never tried this, but supposedly one reason people soak fish in milk or a little vinegared water is to eliminate the fishy smell when you cook.   This could be a fish cooking myth.

In regards to the countertop oven... are you sure it was an oven and not a steamer?

I can see steaming fish lessens the fishy smell dramatically.

If it's a countertop oven, then the oven probably has some type of filter that traps the odor.

Answer 2

It probably exists, but it's probably expensive. Consider using an exhaust fan when you cook if you dislike food smells in the house.
