Not the actual cooking just turning that dial knowing my kitchen

Americans here often say that their oven heats up their kitchen if not
half their house. I've never noticed much heat coming of an oven
unless I stand almost against it. Maybe we're talking about different
appliances.

If my kitchen didn't face due west, I probably wouldn't give
it a thought.  A large window over the sink doesn't help, but
I do have an excellent room darkening shade over it which I
keep pulled down from about 1:00 p.m. until just dark.

Presently it's 92°F (33°C) which has been one of the
'cooler' days here.

Shouldn't the heat an oven generates mainly be inside the oven, not
outside? Of course, I understand you don't need extra heat at 33C.
