During the hot summer months we all try to avoid heating the kitchen more than necessary. After using your electric burner, there's always heat that continues even after the burner has been turned off. Simply place a tea kettle filled with water on that hot burner. The tea pot will absorb the excess heat and keep your kitchen cool.

Hmmm . . . I'm not sure about this one. I do the same in the winter for the opposite effect. I want to capture the warmth in the hot water so it will release it slowly after the stove it turned off. I don't think it really makes a difference--the heat has not disappeared, it has only been transferred to another medium (water), then to a third (the air).
