Pretty cool. Can't get much cheaper than that either.Comment

I wish they went into more detail... I'll have to research it more, as this could be the answer to my "flour dough" storage problem in a PAW for bread dough recipes that now require refrigeration. I assume it needs earthen-ware pots (clay) to work properly...

these work quite well for what they are.. and something based on this is what we plan on using when the current energy pig we have goes to fridge heaven and becomes a cheese cave... this last week we had a semi lengthy power outage and I decided to see for myself just how much refrigeration we actually needed... i had two items that needed to be moved to a colder source in all of the kitchen fridge/freezer.. Mayonnaise and milk.. mayo would go away in a crisis as it isnt needed and small batches can be made.. fresh milk does not "need" refrigeration for a 12-16 hour period.... what is not used or consumed through out the day is fed back to animals or used in a dish at the end of the day in countries where refrigeration is limited .. i find that a fridge is a huge waste if you live a simple life style and grow your own foods. I would prefer a freezer any day over a fridge/freezer if i had to choose one over the other ... freezers are much more usable and convenience based than fridge is.. although we are trying to wean ourselves off of bothComment

non glazed clay pots.. they gotta breath ...sand between them and water... cover with a cloth.. it is really that simple .. i do have to wonder just how well they work in high humidity areas.. we have used one but have not tried it in our high humid weather and i am thinking because evaporation would be much less they would not work quite as well.Comment

Awesome stuff Lacey, my dad says they used this in Arizona when he was there.
In case you need to save it to a digital format or print it.

<scratches head and ponders an idea>
I know plastic doesn't 'breath' like certain clay pots. However, in a prepper standpoint...we would need a lot of clay pots. So, I'm thinking I'd like to try getting a D10 water tank and recreate this to see how it works. Chop the top off to gain access to the inside for storage purposes of a few 50gal. drums...fill that puppy up with sand, having several inches of sand at the bottom, then saturate sand before securing the new "lid" back on. The large opening on the top covered with...let's say...a piece of burlap or something of the like. I'm guessing that'd work in a larger scale. Bet it'd even work better if you broke out the backhoe and partially burried the D10.
hmmm, what do you all think?Comment

Would need pots the size of refrigerators. :-)Comment

I suspect that the sun beating down on those dark-colored plastic lids is going to overpower any cooling the ground may provide... Now if you make some kind of sunblock (shed, lean-to), then it would work better, IMO...Originally posted by runtothehills View Post
