Refreshing drinks and healthy food always with you

Preparing fresh drinks and preserving food are key elements for a pleasant camping experience during hot summer days. In this blog we will explore how portable coolers, thermos bottles and kegs can be your allies in keeping drinks fresh and food healthy during your camping stay.

 

Portable coolers for fresh drinks

 

During the summer months, keeping drinks cold can be a challenge, but with portable coolers, you can enjoy fresh drinks even when you're away from home. These refrigerators come in different sizes and shapes, from various portable electric refrigerators with a 12 volt connection and those with a standard 230 volt power supply to small classic passive cooling boxes - ice boxes that cool using ice inserts.

 

Size and capacity

 When choosing a portable cooler, consider how much space you need for drinks. Smaller coolers are ideal for individuals or small groups, while larger coolers can be used for families or groups of friends on a camping trip.

 

Types of refrigerators

Electric refrigerators:

These refrigerators use electricity or batteries to maintain a low temperature inside the refrigerator. They are ideal if you have access to electricity. They work on a 12 V or 230 V power supply, some have a very high freezing power, while others cool to a certain temperature, all depending on the temperature of the environment in which they are located.

Passive coolers:

These coolers use insulation and ice to keep the temperature low. You can use ice blocks or ice inserts to keep the temperature of food and drinks at a satisfactory level of freshness.

Preparation before camping

 

Frozen liners are a great way to keep cool inside a passive cooler that has no motor and isn't connected to an electrical supply. Before camping, freeze enough ice blocks to keep you cool during your time in the outdoors.

 Thermos bottles and  cooling jugs for fresh drinks

 Thermos bottles and cooling jugs are great for keeping drinks cold or hot throughout the day. Regardless of whether you want to keep water cold or hot tea, these containers keep the temperature of the drink for up to 10 long hours with the effect of gradually raising or lowering the temperature of the drink or food in the thermos.

 

Choosing a thermos bottle or cooling jugs

 Insulation:
Quality insulation is key for thermos bottles and cooling jugs. The best are products that have double walls made of stainless steel or other insulating materials.

Size:
Thermos bottles and cooling jugs come in different sizes. Choose the one that best suits your needs. Smaller bottles are more practical for individual use, while larger kegs are better for several people, while kegs often have a tap with which you can easily pour the drink without opening the keg, thus achieving long temperature preservation and ease of handling.

 

Food preservation with the help of portable refrigerators

 

In addition to drinks, it is important to ensure the freshness of food while camping. Portable coolers are also excellent for storing food, especially if you are planning a longer stay in nature.

 

Proper packaging of food

 

Frozen food: If you are planning a trip or camping trip that will last several days, consider freezing food before you go. Frozen food will extend the time the food will stay cold inside the refrigerator.

Food insulation: Consider using insulated bags or thermal bags to further insulate food inside the refrigerator.

 

Tips for maintaining refrigerators and thermos bottles/barrels

 

Cleaning:
Regular cleaning of refrigerators, thermos bottles and kegs is essential for maintaining hygiene and freshness. Use mild detergents and rinse well to remove any food or drink residue.

Check the temperature: Check the temperature of the refrigerator regularly to make sure it is maintaining the desired temperature.

Portable coolers, thermos bottles and kegs are great tools for keeping drinks cold and food fresh while camping on hot summer days. Choosing the right cooler and properly preparing drinks and food before camping are key factors in enjoying fresh drinks and healthy food even when you are away from home. By following these tips, you can ensure that your camping trip is comfortable, regardless of the high temperatures.
