When it gets hot hot, forno It becomes an appliance to be forgotten, or at least used very sparingly. We need alternatives that are easy, simple, and achievable without compromising the quality of our menus.
For example:
  • Cooking without cooking: Cold pasta salads, couscous, legume dishes, mozzarella, tomatoes, carpaccio, hummus, sandwiches, or piadinas.
  • Use tools that heat the environment less:
    • induction cooker (best for short times)
    • Microwave
    • air fryer (for small quantities, although it still produces heat)
    • pressure cooker (reduces cooking times)
  • Cooking in the coolest hours: Prepare meals early in the morning or in the evening and store in the refrigerator.
  • Cooking “only once”: Make a larger batch of rice, grains, vegetables, or sauces and use them for multiple meals.
  • Take advantage of ready-made but simple foods: Store-bought grilled vegetables, fresh bread, cheeses, and hard-boiled eggs prepared in advance.
  • If you have to use the forno, do it a few minutes, avoid opening the door often and cook more things at the same time.
  • Close the kitchen and air it out afterwards: if you have to use the forno, keep the kitchen door closed and open the windows when you're done (or use the extractor hood while cooking).
Il  forno it is not essential in summer For most people, it's a useful tool, but you can easily maintain a varied and balanced diet even without using it for weeks.
