ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Extractor hood

An extractor hood sits above your stove to take away all the smelly, steamy air that comes out when you cook. Think of it like a big vacuum cleaner that sucks up all the smoke, grease and smells that are left behind when you make dinner. It has a fan that pulls the dirty air up and out of your kitchen through a tube that leads to the outside. This way, your kitchen stays clean and fresh while you cook!
