make sure oven is clean, also check around the burners if gas/electric. Boil some vinegar on the stove to kill odors.

I remember my mom would put some sugar in a cast iron skillet on the stove and when it would start smoking she would walk around the house with it spewing all the smoke. She said it neutralizes the odors in the house. I don’t know if it works or not I was young and didn’t care.

Forgot to mention, boiled and croc pot cooking would cut down on smoke. Boiled chicken breast has always tasted better as I believe a lot of the flavor is maintained. Croc pot for steak or chicken too

Funny my grandma did that when I was a little kid and never wondered why she did that back then but now I realize it.

Vanilla extract was the ONLY thing that took the rotten meat smell of my refrigerator after hurricane Katrina hit NOLA.

Was sooooo gnarly cleaning it out! Tried all the typical cleaners to no avail. People suggested newspaper; it didn’t work. People suggested coffee grinds; it didn’t work. After 3 months of it sitting outside airing out I had someone suggest wiping the inside down with vanilla extract. Problem solved! Used that fridge as a garage fridge for anutha 15 years.

Slesh you're fortunate enough to go on some pretty grand vacations, have a nice home, good vehicles, etc. If your most desperate issue is that your house smells like the food you cook, the same issue as the rest of us, you're a lucky guy..LOL! Get a better exhaust fan and don't be so self conscious about having friends over!

Lol thanks Bio! I guess its all perspective at the end of the day. It's just that I get used to it while I'm in the house and then I take the pup for a walk or come back from the gym and the stench just punches me in the dick the second I open the door. Super intense.

Meaning make popcorn.

Or bake bread.

Or a drop of vanilla in your oven.

Simple, cheap solutions.

This is what I'm talking about!

Guys thank you! Really great replies. Going to try a few of these over the coming weeks.

Few things- electric grill and cooking all for whole day once
Air refresheners
Rice cooker
This will dramatically decrease amount of time spent in kitchen and also amount of scents- win win situation
