too hot to cook

We are temporary full-timing for 1st time while new house is being built. I'm sure many of you have tackled my problem before, so I'm asking for advice. Well it's too darned hot to cook here in Texas (about 103 every day). We are using the outside grill a lot; but what to do about using the cooktop for stuff you don't grill? Like cooking rice, pasta, eggs, pancackes, (you get the picture) Boy does that cooktop heat up the kitchen and then the living room, etc. Have any of you used an electric skillet? Husband is worried that will trip a breaker; before I go to the local Wally world to purchase one, hoping someone can share their experience(s) with me. We're getting desperate!

otto0813, I use a crock pot and a electric skillet and the outside grill. When I want to cook Rice or pasta or eggs I use the microwave. I use the stove very little in this heat here in NW OK last week it got up to 117 and we had 2 AC's and 3 fans running night and day and still about burned up... If you would like you can check out some of my crock pot recipes here on the forum..Good luck on what ever you decide to get...

We've used a skillet with no problems. The trailer outlets will handle it as long as you don't plug the crock pot, coffee pot or something like it on the same circuit. If the breaker trips, unplug something, no big deal.

You can get a quick disconnect fitting added to a propane line put in on the door side of the trailer and use an outdoor cook-top stove that mounts to the outside of the 5er, ...or just run an outdoor cook-top, on a table, from a separate propane bottle. Only downside to outdoor cooking is swarming bugs, so you might also need a screened pop-up tent as well.

Try using the fan on the hood to remove the heat from the stove. Be sure to release the two catches on the outside flapper before turning the fan on.
