Planning a big cookout for the 4th of July? But you'll be cooking inside because your group is big and your grill small? Cooking a large meal indoors in summer produces as much heat as running the furnace, and cooking increases moisture in the air, too. The result is everyone's uncomfortable and the air conditioner works overtime, wasting money. Instead, before lighting up the stove and firing up your oven to start cooking indoors, make a quick trip down to the appliance store. You'll see that today's kitchens are heading outdoors. New super mega-grills are just the beginning. In addition to lots more grilling surface and many nifty cooking accessories (like griddles, woks and rotisseries), "backyard kitchens" now include everything from warming drawers and deep fryers to ice-makers and refrigerators with complete soda fountains and beverage centers, wet sinks and built-in dishwashers. It's a great way to cook for big groups on big holidays. These kitchens give indoor cooks outdoor independence. And that's the On The House tip for today.
