EVAPORATIVE COOLERS

Standard air coolers can lower the room temperature by 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but not more. An evaporative cooler's effectiveness depends on outside temperature and humidity. For best results, use a swamp cooler during the hottest part of the day with humidity below 20%.

Check the chart: If it's 105°F outside with 16% humidity, the inside temperature will be 79 degrees.

Keep air flowing! Open windows for evaporative coolers to work.

No venting is needed for these coolers, but the forced air needs an exit path for sufficient cooling (an open door or slightly opened window usually works). Not doing so may cause water stains on the roof, a lease violation. Remember to ensure proper airflow for the best cooling results.

Tik Tok Famous "Smash Burger Tacos" Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon mustard
1 tablespoon relish
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 lb. ground round
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
2 slices American cheese, cut in half lengthwise
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce or romaine
1/4 cup diced onion

Directions

1. Combine mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, and hot sauce in a small bowl; set sauce aside.

2. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat.

3. Divide beef into 4 loose portions and place them in mounds on the hot griddle. Season evenly with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Place a tortilla on top of each beef portion and press down to flatten the beef into the shape and size of the tortilla.

4. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown, 2 to 3 more minutes. Flip each patty over and top with cheese. When the cheese has melted and the tortilla has lightly browned, top it with lettuce and onions. Drizzle with sauce, remove from the griddle, and fold in half like a taco. Serve immediately.
