  • In 2001, the founder of Mitticool ceramics learned many of his customers in India don't have regular access to electricity. So he invented a fridge made out of clay. It keeps food 8 degrees cooler than the outside air, but it doesn't need any electricity to run. And while other ceramics companies in the region shut down, Mitticool is thriving thanks to the success of the powerless, eco-friendly fridge.

    When I was a kid and we were poor, we didn't have a refrigerator, or a actual stove, no hot water, and sometimes no electricity. We cooked on a charcoal brazier. We kept water cool in a clay vase. The evaporation of the water through the clay provided the cooling. The water tasted a bit like clay but we didn't mind.

      If the clay vase or the ghadaa is a proper cooked utensil, it's a great one to have. It will not have a lot of smell, but will assimilate properties to water which are beneficial for health, along with reasonably cooling effect(chilled water is actually not good for health, leads to many problems, especially Thyroid issues).
      The best taste and deal you can have...most middle class homes in India still pour water they get from RO+UV filters to these ghadaas for that taste and feel, especially in the tropical summers of India, which is getting hotter every year due to global warming. Sadly, many people are getting too accustomed to fridge water and AC which only exacerbates the issue of Global warming and acts as a positive feedback loop. Only with more vegetation and sensible sustainable lifestyle can the issue be handled!

Then she started making enough money for us to live on. She sold 11 of her paintings to the actor Vincent Price and some to the Time-Life magazine company (to decorate their office building in Chicago) and was invited to the Friends of Mexico art show in New York City. A couple of weeks before she was in the art show she died. We had returned to the US shortly before she found out she was dying. Living in Mexico was the best part of my childhood. Growing up in the US after she died was the worst time of my life. I still miss Mexico, but Mexico has changed a lot since I lived there. Not for the best. I would love to go back sometime. I really miss the food there. I better stop writing otherwise I will get really hungry thinking about the food there. I loved the people there too.

      also, talking about colder areas. if it's cold outside, people usually trying to keep themselves warm by warming their houses. some folks have a cold, non heated part of their house reserved for storage - vegetables, canned stuff and even some prepared food can be stored there quite effectively. but this type of storage rooms can be found mostly in single-family houses. living in apartment building, on the other hand, do not provide such benefit, so when heating your living space, you loose that bonus of keeping your food fresh for longer because of natural temperature in the area, and without an electric refrigerator your only option would be to eat something that doesn't spoil easily, which is dried food, salt food, sweet food and canned food. one could definitely live on such a diet, but given the options, it's rarely the food of choice, at least not on a daily basis.

You should never buy a thing like that but make it yourself if you;re in those conditions - otherwise you buy a regular fridge.

      @@lunix3259 Yes and no? They clay part helps since they can sustain temperature, but for the fridge, it's simply just the water evaporating by getting the heat from inside the fridge. It's the same as regular fridges except it uses water. The only reason most western (and eastern) fridges don't use water is because they're larger and also need to be able to freeze (for meats, but also so we can make ice cubes). Just using water wouldn't help you create ice, but it can at least cool a small fridge like that, which is enough for people in certain places, especially if their families are small.

      In earthen pot there are tiny pores which slowly release water in the outer surface. Water molecules takes energy from the surrounding molecules and evaporates.this continuous process cools down the water inside the pot and outer surface water layer act as a insulator which do not allow the surrounding temperature to maintain the same temperature in the pot.
