Hello.

When I'm cooking I always get extreme condensation all around my kitchen, Walls, cupboard doors, windows.
I am assuming this is due to my kitchen being so cold all the time.

3 of the walls are external and there is no central heating in there and it's very narrow.
Is there any way to prevent the condensation?

Or will it take an ingenious heating solution to keep the room warm enough to stop condensation forming?
 
Open a window, external door? (Making sure a draught doesn't blow your flame out if using gas)

Lids on pans?

Even just having the oven on creates condensation, we try and keep lids on and the extractor on while cooking.

could open the door but I was hoping for a solution which didn't involve wearing a full outdoor getup in my kitchen :p
 
I don't believe there's an airbrick, It's a fairly old building.
I'm renting at the moment, so would be hesitant to purchase a dehumidifier.
If I was to put a good draught excluder on the kitchen door and opened the window do you think that would help the situation. (wrapping up in the kitchen's an annoyance but I can live with it.)
