Creating a plasma in one's kitchen has all sorts of effects - some useful, some less so. Cooking food using pretty much any method also creates all sorts of effects, gustatory and otherwise. If there's insufficient airflow when cooking with gas, carbon monoxide can be created as with charcoal. Very bad, that stuff.

A workaround would be to cook where there is good, possibly augmented, airflow such that the food is warm but the surrounding air is exchanged as often as possible. And don't worry about aromatics from cooking as they're sloshing around in all those ICE vehicles in far, far greater quantity. Along with other nasties produced in bulk in city centres.

Generally speaking the sort of flames we encounter in daily life, including from a gas stove, are not hot enough to form a plasma.

Or. An exhaust hood. Like every kitchen I’ve ever had.

If you are considering switching to an induction hob, they are brilliant, I love ours. Just make sure you have good ferrous pans, I guarantee that all bad reviews you hear are due to people having the wrong type of pans.
