Easy Summer Cooking with Winter Tools

Do you have one of those big roasters to use on holidays when you need to cook a turkey AND use the oven for a few other things?

We do, and it's a great summer time tool as well. Putting dinner in the oven is always an easy way to cook while getting other things done, but when it's 90 degrees outside, heating up the house with the oven isn't an attractive option.

Instead, we take the roaster outside on the patio, where its heat can disperse into the already hot summer air.

It works great for a roast or a casserole - and also for a pie, cake, or cookies.

If you have one stored away for holiday cooking, dig it out and put it outdoors. If you don't have one, consider the purchase. Your house will stay much cooler, and if you need an excuse to sunbathe you can say you were watching the food.

I know they'll be on sale in November, but right now is when you need it, and at only $49.95, the lower temperature in your house will make it worth buying now.

Yours for good eating,
