Sometimes there are situations when there is no refrigerator - rest or force majeure - there are all sorts of things, and you need to be ready for this. I suggest you learn about storing food without a refrigerator - how, how much and in what way.

Dairy products. Butter is densely packed in cans and poured on top with cold salted water, which is then changed daily. Dairy products can be placed in a bowl, which is then placed in a large container of water. The food is covered with a piece of cloth, the ends of which are dipped in water. Water evaporates to keep the temperature low, and this prevents spoilage.

Fish and crustaceans: To keep fresh fish for longer, it needs to be gutted and gills removed. Dry the fish, rub the abdominal cavity with salt and line with napkins or toilet paper. After that, each fish is wrapped in clean, dry paper. Crayfish need to be boiled, placed in a glass jar and filled with cold salted water (1 tbsp. Table salt per 1 liter of boiled water).

Vegetables Vegetables are spoiled by excess moisture, so it is better not to wash them before storing them and keep them wrapped in paper.

Meat and Poultry Important: Prevent air from reaching these perishable foods. To do this, they can be poured with milk (after 1-2 hours, the cream will “stick around” the flesh from all sides, without letting air in, and lactic acid will inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria). There are other ways to seal products: meat or poultry fillets can be poured boiling water (its surface will turn white, as the top layer of protein will cook) or smear with sunflower oil. In the summer, you need to protect meat or poultry from flies: rub the product with pepper, grated horseradish, or wrap it in a cloth soaked in strong pickle brine.

Chicken eggs Eggs are sealed by dipping them in boiling water for 5 seconds (a layer of cooked protein forms under the shell). Unused yolks are stored in a glass container, filled with cold water. With these simple tips, storing food without a refrigerator will not be a problem for you.
