The term 'swelters' is used to describe a hot and humid environment. It can be used to describe the weather, or a person's feeling of discomfort due to the heat. Roasts, stews, boils, FRIES, and BAKES are all cooking methods that involve the use of heat. Roasting involves cooking food in an oven or over an open flame, stewing involves simmering food in liquid, boiling involves submerging food in boiling water, frying involves cooking food in hot oil, and baking involves cooking food in an oven. All of these cooking methods involve the use of heat, which can cause a person to swelter in a hot kitchen.
