When cooking, especially during processes such as grilling or frying, harmful gases are generated. Among them, fine dust is a major factor causing lung cancer, and to eliminate it, range hoods are commonly used. Particularly, when using portable cooking device like gas stoves, it is even more challenging to remove fine dust. In this study, a cooking device was developed to combine steam and cooled air in the air-curtain area to recover fine dust generated during the cooking process, allowing it to be collected as food. The device was evaluated according to criteria defined independently and validated through experiments. As a result, all criteria were satisfied within the specified range.
