Bryna, welcome. We’ve had some days this month that compete with the hottest days of summer. Hope to see you around her some more.

Great suggestions. Thank you! We are new olim and arrived in September to Maale Adumim. We have had some pretty hot weather though nothing compared to what I am told we can expect at the height of the summer. No door on our kitchen (rental apartment) but you have given me food for thought for the future. Our saving grace is that we have a mirpeset that gets an amazing breeze most evenings, so we have taken most meals out there.

Hi Ben-Yehudah,
Thanks for your input. Small apartments make it hard to keep the heat away from the table.

B”H

Thanks for the tips.

I have always had tiny apts., so I avoid using a plata in the summer, especially when guests are in the living room.

I either use a timer, or “gourmet sandwiches” and extra nice salads for lunch.

Rachel, thanks for sharing your ideas. My mother believed in serving kugel at room temperature. But I should add that room temperature in Israel is probably not what she had in mind.

Thanks, kosher bride. I really like your blog! I hope you’ll contribute both here and on CookingManager.Com. I forgot to mention closing the kitchen door. I don’t have one but I still meant to include it.
