Kitchen sink drains are a fertile environment for certain forms of life, and these can cause the drain to run slow. When hot water is run down the drain, it kills some of the lifeforms, allowing the drain to run freely for a while. Try using a drain cleaner, or a drain snake, to clean out the drain. Never pour grease down a drain, as it cools and solidifies quickly in the pipes.

Could you cool a kitchen by leaving the refrigerator door open and closing the kitchen door with windows open?

Whether you could cool a kitchen this way depends on whether you could get the heat coming off the external coils out the windows and whether the air outside is cooler than the exterior coils of the fridge. In all likelihood most of the heat coming off the coils would stay in the kitchen (rather than going out the windows) and rather than cooling it, you would heat up the kitchen while the refrigerator compressor continued to run (until the compressor burned out from continuous operation). Remember that a refrigerator cools the inside of the fridge by pumping the heat out of the interior of the fridge and into the room - in this case the kitchen.
