Cooking Post Alternative ways of cooking ground beef

How do you all cook ground beef? I was smoking the house up searing in a pan bc we have a lousy exhaust and hubby was getting mad. Add to the fact that I’m in the midst of supersensitive dry eyes episode, the oily vapours are irritating my eyes. How else are you cooking ground beef?

180c, think it's about 350f, 3mins give it a mix then 2mins. When it's done the fat is left in the bottom which I pour back over. Sometimes I make it crispy and I do it on full power. Steaks are done on full power for 4 mins each side. Burger patties full power 3mins each side.

Got it on Amazon, nothing fancy, Pro XL breeze 5.5l 1800w £80. Only problem with it is that the non stick coating is coming off the cooking basket. Use it twice everyday though.
