Dinners that won't heat up your house
Per my hubby "no oven"...but I feel like the crockpot also heats it up 🤷🏻♀️.
Ideas?? |

Re: Dinners that won't heat up your house
Is the stove an option? Like, could you cook some pasta early in the morning when it's still cool and make pasta salad?
Do y'all have an outdoor grill?

Re: Dinners that won't heat up your house
Yes, stove top is an option. We have a grill, but I am not the “grill master”...is not home at a consistent/predictable time...so we don’t grill super often ��

Re: Dinners that won't heat up your house
Do you have a safe place to put the crock pot outside while it cooks? I also have a toaster oven that fits a 9 by 9 baking pan. So I can make enchiladas, lasagna, etc.

Re: Dinners that won't heat up your house
I was going to suggest putting the crock pot outside if you have that option. I've never done it with a crock pot but I do have a toaster oven that I set on the back porch when I want to roast veggies or something small and don't want to heat up the house.
I utilize my Instant Pot a lot in the summer. I can pretty much do anything and everything with that. Outdoor grill in another mainstay for us. I'm not a grill master either but truthfully a little bit of practice and it becomes super easy.
