1. Discover 4 Instant Ways to Beat the Summer Heat in the Kitchen
In the scorching heat of summer, just the thought of entering the kitchen is enough to tire anyone. The hot environment, intensified by the heat and cooking aromas, challenges even the most patient homemakers.
This article will provide you with 4 quick ways to cool down in the kitchen instantly, making your cooking experience more bearable:
1. Cook with an Electric Stove
Compared to gas stoves, electric and infrared stoves are much cooler. Cooking with direct contact of magnetic fields with the pot or pan prevents heat loss, keeping the air in the kitchen from getting too hot. Infrared stoves emit heat, but the heat is much lower than gas stoves, and the loss of heat is minimal, avoiding heat buildup in the space.
Not only can you cook with electric or infrared stoves, but you can also use cooling fans or air conditioning comfortably. Cooking is faster, cutting the time spent standing in the kitchen. Investing in an electric double stove like the SUNHOUSE SHB-EI01/EI02 or the APEX APB9981 is not only a temporary solution to avoid heat in the summer but also a long-term, cost-effective, and safe investment for the whole family.
2. Get a Cooling Fan
The kitchen is usually an open space for ventilation and less prone to food odors. Therefore, people often use fans instead of air conditioning to cool the space. Conventional fans take the existing hot air in the kitchen and push it out at a higher speed, ventilating the air but not significantly cooling it. If you want it cooler, you need to place a bowl of water in front of the fan to blow the evaporated water for cooling.
This year, why not invest in a cooling fan - the king of rescuing open kitchen spaces? With the ability to cool in ventilated spaces like the kitchen, fans help dissipate heat faster while saving electricity 10 times more than air conditioning. With cooling capabilities through water vapor, convenient wind modes, and continuous oscillation, models like the SUNHOUSE air-cooling fan can quickly eliminate the heat with a blink of an eye.
Explore a variety of SUNHOUSE air-cooling fan models with different capacities and features to cater to your preferences.
Not limited to the kitchen, SUNHOUSE air coolers - air-conditioning fans can be placed in any space in your home, such as the living room or bedroom. The timer function and air purification make these products friendly for both the elderly and young ones. Truly a double-duty appliance!
3. Use the oven and pressure cooker in the early morning or late evening
The oven is one of the devices that can generate heat in your kitchen. In winter, using the oven to create unique dishes also contributes to warming up the kitchen. Conversely, in summer, it adds to the already scorching and stifling heat. So, if you still want to enjoy baked dishes, it's advisable to bake in the early morning, and when it's time to eat, just reheat them for a moment.
For slow-cooked dishes like stewed meat or bone broth, you can prepare them in the evening, early morning, or when you are not in the kitchen. Afterward, you can store these dishes in the fridge, and when it's time to eat, simply take them out to enjoy them cold or reheat them in the microwave. SUNHOUSE appliances like ovens, microwaves, etc., almost all come with convenient timer functions. You just need to set the appropriate time and let the device work, no need to stand by in the kitchen to check if the food is cooked as desired.
4. Clean the refrigerator and freezer
The feeling when opening the refrigerator door during hot days is an amazing experience like no other. Therefore, regularly clean your refrigerator and freezer. Remove any leftover food stored in the fridge for an extended period to restore the fresh and cool air inside. At the same time, rearrange the food into separate boxes for food storage, separate compartments to keep the fridge well-ventilated and tidy. SUNHOUSE offers various types of boxes specifically designed for frozen, chilled, or dry food, making it easy for you to categorize and organize.
These actions also help reduce the overload on your refrigerator and freezer, limiting the compressor from running at excessive capacity, heating up the equipment and your kitchen.
In addition to the above 4 tips, SUNHOUSE suggests turning off unnecessary lights while cooking. You can make use of LED lights from range hoods to focus illumination on the cooking area. Pull down blinds in sun-facing directions during the evening to avoid excessive heat in your kitchen.
