 Keep the kitchen cool by cooking more of your meals with a microwave, slow cooker, pressure cooker or grilling outside. Close doors, windows and blinds so the sun won't heat up your space as much. Power down computers, tablets, TVs and gaming systems in the evening and when not in use. Only use lights in occupied rooms and keep fridge and freezer doors closed as much as possible. And save the dishes and laundry for the morning to avoid adding heat to your home during the hot afternoon. I'm Debbie McAllister in the KBOI Newsroom.
