Summer and Pakistan share a strong bond, especially in June, July, August, and September, and Summer and kitchen share an even stronger bond. Sizzling heat of scorching sun boils the people even while sitting under the fan. It seems as if fans have stopped working and not everyone can afford the luxury of having an air conditioner in the home.
Ever wonder that if sitting under the fan makes one sweat and feel nauseous then what would one standing in the kitchen, in front of the fire, cooking some delicious food for the family be feeling?? Hopefully and unfortunately, No. No one would have felt the torture these women go through who spend almost all their day in the kitchen where there is just heat and no sign of air or cool breeze.
As Jaageer.com always tries to come up with different ideas to assist the people over little and bigger issues that everyone faces in the daily routine, here we come with ideas to keep the kitchens cool in the summer so that women get to face minimum heat.
Cook early in the morning or late at night
Even in this scorching summer, everyone has to eat to survive, and someone has to cook. So, to the one who has to cook no matter the weather or any other situation, try to cook early in the morning when the sun is not blazing yet or late at night. It would definitely be tough but just to avoid immense heat, these tiny steps are necessary to be taken to save the health.
When we cook food at noon when everything is already heated up due to burning sun, it adds more heat in the kitchen and it starts burning. Avoiding cooking at noon as cooking in the early morning can help the kitchen remain cool.
Invest in Smoke Suction
We spend a lot of money on home appliances and some of them are placed in the storeroom for years. So, why don’t invest in something beneficial for keeping the kitchen cool? Invest in Smoke Suction and install it in the kitchen as soon as possible so that the heat and smoke do not make the kitchen and the home blistering.
Smoke Suction would be installed right above your stove and it will suck all the smoke and heat, stopping it to spread all over the house and making the house feels like burning. This smoke suction appliance is a must-have product in the summer, especially the summer we get to see in Pakistan.
Turn off extra lights
Try to keep all the lights of the kitchen off while there is no use of light. Lights and everything that works on electricity produces heat. Try to keep the lights off; it would help in reducing heat and the electricity bill as well. Switch the lights on only when necessary.
Turn the blinds down
The best tip for keeping the kitchen cool during summer is to keep the window shades and blinds close. Do not let the sunlight escape in the kitchen as it would make it even hotter. If you are cooking in the day, it is the best tip to keep the shades closed.
Exhaust Fans
Another thing that everyone needs to install in the kitchen to avoid excessive heat is an exhaust fan. Exhaust fans pull all the smoke and heat of the kitchen out. If you want to install the exhaust fan in the kitchen, choose the place wisely to get rid of smoke and heat.
Cut and Chop outside the kitchen
One has to stay in the kitchen while cooking to keep a check that the food does not burn or get overcooked but cutting and chopping do not require staying in the kitchen. One can cut and chop the vegetables outside the kitchen too. To avoid staying in the burning kitchen, try to avoid staying inside the kitchen as much as possible.
Get a table fan
Another tip to stay cool and keep the kitchen cool in the summer days is to invest in a table fan. A table fan would help the person cooking have a ray of coolness in the sizzling summer. When the food is being cooked and it does not need to be looked onto it, sit on a chair and turn on the table fan to have some air, to let the sweat dry and to take a breath of peace.
Cooking is a tough task and it becomes even tougher in the summer. Mostly, the ones who cook in our houses are women. They work day and night in the kitchens in the hot summer days. Nor do they complain about anything neither skip cooking. So, to give them a little relaxation, all we can do is install such appliances in the kitchen that it can remain cool. To give them a break from cooking for at least one day in a week. To help them, if not in cooking, in cutting and chopping. These little gestures would make them happier than one can imagine.
The kitchen has to be a place where one wants to go and cook something delicious but in the summer days, it seems like a nightmare, so, jaageer.com has tried to introduce some different ways to keep the kitchen cool even in the summer. Try out these ways and have a cool kitchen.
