Sous-vide cooking is a highly praised method used to cook muscle foods because of its desired effect of providing better sensory properties by maintaining texture. In this study, we further explored t...
Associations of combined different cooking fuel types and cooking duration with sleep quality were scarcely reported. This study aimed to explore the associations of exposure to household air pollutio...
A total of 28,135 eligible participants were obtained from the Henan rural cohort study. Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and participants with a PSQI score > 5...
Both domestic fuel use and cooking duration were positively related to poor sleep quality. The solid fuel users with a cooking duration ≥1.5 h/day had a higher prevalence of poor sleep quality (OR: 1....
Positive associations of combined different cooking fuel types and cooking duration with the prevalence of poor sleep quality were attenuated by kitchen ventilation, implying that installing mechanica...
Cooking at home is a critical survival skill. We propose a new cooking assistance system in which a user only needs to wear an all-in-one augmented reality (AR) headset without having to install any e...
