The work ‘intruding’ has a meaning similar to “snooping” as it is used in the excerpt. Intruding means to put oneself without invitation at any place or situation deliberately. Here Mrs. Hale is talking about such men who visit her kitchen without any warm invitation and starts to place criticism about the place.
In the excerpt, Mrs. Hale is very angry at the men who basically visit her kitchen to critique about it. She wants to yell at such men whose intentions are just to find flaws in her and her way of arranging the kitchen.
The word ‘looking’ would not mean the same as it doesn’t emphasize much on the intention of the visitors. The word ‘peering’ means to look at something with difficulty. This word too would not suit the situation here. And the word ‘searching’ would not go on with the criticism which the men do.
