As a lady I completely feel the pain of hot kitchen ambiance. Sometimes it feels like I am taking Sauna Bath session in my kitchen. The case goes worst in the season of summer.
Today I will be highlighting few tips to get over this problem.
Ventilation
This is a very common issue with Indian kitchen. There should be a proper planning for ventilation. Hot air being thinner raises upwards and cold air stays on ground level. Never use ceiling fan while cooking, it pushes hot air on you, thus making you sweat more.
Well, there are two solution to this problem
First option is Natural way. By creating Cross ventilation in the kitchen. You can plan out position for cook top and window, for the hot breeze to flow out of the room.
Second way is Machinal way. Either you can opt for traditional exhaust fans or for a Duct-able Chimney, it sucks out the hot air instantly while cooking.
We have used a similar one at our site at Runwal MyCity Dombivali
High flame cooking habit
Cooking at high flame not only reduces the nutritional value of food but also induces more heat than required.
Always try to cook in medium or low flame. The flame of burner should be covering the base of vessel only and out of vessel. Excess flame will heat up the environment.
A lot of frying
I agree without deep fried pakodas and wadas our meal is incomplete. But the bitter truth is deep fried is not only unhealthy but also generates a lot of heat in kitchen.

Almost every appliance produces some level of heat as it uses energy to keep its systems up. The appliances should be placed in a planned way so that the heat produced from system can be minimized.
Lights
