    Wait, how does an oven give migraines? Legitimately curious

    Edit: I forgot Americans have inferior electricity and often use gas ovens at home lol

        Does cast iron give off CO when you do that? If not, explain why we don’t have issues any other time we use the oven.

      Not OP but mine is natural gas and definitely produces trace amounts of noticeable gases when run. It gives me a very mild headache

        Yeah I forgot those were a thing. We run slightly more voltage here so high power electric appliances are the default, even gas stoves are becoming rarer, ovens are basically all electric for home use.

      In most parts of the US, the typical range is all electric running on 240v. Gas is not the norm. Outlets are typically 120v, but appliances are connected to specialized high voltage outlets or hardwired.

      Actually, it’s the smell that the oil/fat gives off as it cooks in the oven that does it. No issues whatsoever when doing normal operations, so it’s not the oven or the ventilation.

        Ah, I thought the oven in general does it for you. Yeah, that makes sense, I hear migraines can be triggered by a lot of things if you’re prone to getting them.
