Quick wins

  • Add under-cabinet LED strips (2700–3000K) to brighten prep zones.
  • Use lidded cooking and portable induction plate to cut grease.
  • Run vent/hood early; keep a small HEPA nearby for lingering smells.

Steps

  1. Map prep/cook zones; place LEDs under cabs facing backsplash.
  2. If no hood, use induction + splatter guard; crack window if possible.
  3. Wipe cabinets weekly; deep clean filters monthly.

Gear ideas

  • LED strip kit (warm white, dimmable)
  • Induction hot plate (stable temp, compact)
  • Slim HEPA filter for kitchen/adjacent room
