Hey, you food is burned!

I have no idea what is going on in my neighbor's kitchen but her food is all burned. I can smell it from my unit. And the bad smell is hovering around. I opened the doors for it to go because I don't like my house to smell burned food. There are times that she also fries dried fish, the smell of which makes me sneeze for hours. I wish she would cover her pan. Until now, the smell remains inside even if the doors are all open.

@Janet357 When we come inside from burning leaves and rubbish, you can smell the smoke in our clothes. We always change as soon as we come in.

very unpleasant because it is absorbed by the sheet of our sofa or what.

@Janet357 We do not need one, the other houses are not close to our home and I never burn food in my kitchen.

It's definitely not a good smell for sure. I'm not a fan of it either.

This could be dangerous. The smoke is bad if we keep breathing it

She knows it. I just don't like some of her cookings. Frying dried fish stinks.

Does this happen a lot? If so, she really should have someone teach her how to cook.

@Janet357 maybe you have to install an exhaust fan just to drive away that smell of their food.

@Alexandoy it is hard because we have to create a hole here. Maybe my industrial fan is enough.

I'm sorry she burned her food and it permeated into your apartment. The smell of fish has a way of getting into every nook and crevice.

It's dangerous to have a neighbor like that, It will cause fire one day if she forget again and again then all nearby neighbors will also suffer the cause.

Like my mother who was very careless when cooking something, then left it. I don't know how many pots or pans have been burnt because of negligence. Luckily the house did not burn because of it.
