If you want to banish your fridge, here are some tips.
- Use a pot-in-a-pot “refrigerator” (also known as a “zeer pot”) – A zeer pot is a clay pot placed within a larger pot with wet sands in between the pots and a wet cloth placed on top. The evaporation of the outer liquid draws heat from the inner pot, which can be used to store perishables like fruit, vegetables and meat. Note : The zeer pot works best in hot, dry climates.
- Downgrade from a big refrigerator to a small freezer and a cooler. Store your perishables in a large cooler with 2L soda bottles filled with frozen water. When the water melts, place bottles back in freezer and switch out with other 2L frozen soda bottles.
- Turn your basement in to a root cellar – Commonly used for root veggies, underground or partially underground cellars are a great way to keep veggies, fruits and nuts at low temperatures.
- Keep your veggies watered like flowers – Keep veggies fresh before consumption by keeping the tips of the stems watered.
- It’s okay to leave eggs out on the counter – n cool weather, raw eggs can remain unrefrigerated for up to a month.
- Keep condiments in the pantry and sticks of butter in a covered butter dish – Butter can last up to a week unrefrigerated.
- Get in touch with your pioneer roots and can/preserve/dehydrate/pickle your fruits and veggies.
- Can’t make the plunge? Consider using a smaller refrigerator or a mini fridge. At the very least, make a conscious effort to waste less food. Be conscious of the food you buy and consume wisely.

Didnt know that about eggs. If you want to jnoe if they are still ok to eat you fill a cup of water. If they float they are no good.

In the wintertime if after a party we have too much food left over to fit in the refrigerator, we store it in the garage for a day or 2😊.

May be we can use zeer pot for water but we need to use freezer or cooler for vegetables or left out food! So I think it’s impossible to live without refrigerator! 😇
