Avoid Cooking When Temperatures Soar

Cooking produces a lot of #heat in the kitchen, says CNET, so when you may wish to limit those activities during an extreme heat event. Even if your home is air-conditioned, cooking can add stress to electrical demands and have a negative effect on indoor air quality. Try no-cook meals such as salads or ceviche, or take anything that needs flame to an outdoor grill. You can also turn to small appliances such as an air fryer or microwave oven, which consume less energy and produce significantly less heat to get foodstuffs hot. If you must use the stove and oven, wait until nightfall and open the windows. #Heatproof #ExtremeHeat
