The perspiration running down our bodies can only indicate
one thing: Pakistani summer has come! It is practically impossible to keep
ourselves and our home cool without turning on the air conditioning given the
extreme temperatures and dangerous heat waves around the country. To beat the summer
heat, we recently offered several culinary tips. Here are some tips for keeping
your kitchen cool this summer so you don't overheat your house.
Cooking in the summertime may be difficult, especially if you have a big family to feed. Cooking while standing in front of a hot stove in the kitchen is more difficult due to the heat. Hence, here is our list of the top advice to prevent your kitchen from being too hot:
Even if it's only 50 degrees outdoors, you still need to eat
in order to survive and withstand the extreme temperatures. Avoiding the use of
a cooker and making use of all the kitchen gadgets that have been collecting
dust in the corner are fantastic ways to prevent your kitchen from overheating
during the summer. Make the most of technology by pulling out the toasters,
electric oven, rice cooker, and slow cooker.
Avoiding cooking in the middle of the day is one of the
easiest methods to prevent your kitchen from being too hot. We advise cooking
either late at night or early in the morning when the temperature is somewhat
average because the majority of Pakistan experiences temperature increases
around or around midday.
This one needs no explanation. Using leftover food is the
easiest strategy to prevent the kitchen from becoming too hot during the
summer. In theory, if you have food kept in your refrigerator, you won't need
to cook. At this stage, we advise intentionally cooking more food than you
require in order to consume it the following day.
Installing exhaust fans within your kitchen is one of our
recommendations for cooling your kitchen. Let's be honest; the villain in the
summer isn't simply the temperature increase; it's the heat that is trapped and
the stagnation. Installing an exhaust fan will make it simple to move the
heated air that has been stored in your kitchen. Get a kitchen exhaust system
or an exhaust fan that may push heated air outside and draw in cold air.
We recognise that some of us may not find it ideal to install
an air conditioner or a room cooler, especially in light of the associated
electricity costs. Yet all you need to create your own personal air chiller is
a table fan, some water bottles, and ice. In one of our most recent blogs, we
provided a step-by-step tutorial for making a handmade room cooler for your
convenience.
Stopping sunlight from entering into the home is one of the
finest ways to keep your kitchen cool during the summer. Overexposure to the
sun may significantly alter the temperature inside your home and heat up your
kitchen. It is better to keep the shades drawn and stay as far away from the sun
as you can if you are cooking during the day. On the other hand, it is
recommended to keep the shades slightly drawn or move the plants if you are
using your kitchen as the primary source of natural light or if you have
kitchen plants that require sunshine.
No window coverings or curtains in the kitchen? See our page
for a simple how-to on putting window coverings in your home.
Reduce the number of lights in your kitchen and utilise just those that are absolutely necessary if you want to keep things there relatively cool. You will be shocked at how much the temperature in your kitchen reduces just by turning off extra lights, we promise. Not to mention that you will eventually save money on your power costs if you can get by with just a few lights.
Hence, this concludes our post. We've provided some advice on how to keep your kitchen cool in the heat. We have also spoken about some brilliant suggestions for staying cool in hot weather. These pointers are intended to assist you when you most need them.
