Hell Kitchen.

Cooking and baking during these hot summer days feels like pure torture. The kitchen already gets warm from the weather, and once the stove or oven is turned on, it becomes even harder to stay comfortable. When I use the oven, it feels like the whole house is an oven. I end up sweating so much just from preparing one meal. Sometimes, I would rather eat something cold or simple just to avoid standing near the heat for too long. Baking especially feels exhausting because the oven makes the whole house warmer. Summer really changes the way we feel about spending time in the kitchen.

I can’t imagine how miserable that is. I try to use my oven very sparingly in the summer too.

I don't enjoy using the oven when it is hot out either.

We are having unusually hot weather in the UK, so I have been eating salads with no cooking involved.

rice is a staple food here, so I have to cook a dish to go with the rice

I thought you are talking about Hell's kitchen show. It's indeed hot in the kitchen, what more if you are grilling something.
