If there is no refrigerator at the dacha, or the electricity suddenly turned off, it is not necessary to take the food for one or several days to another place, or to eat only canned food.
Products can be kept fresh for several days using scrap materials..
Storage of fresh products and those belonging to the category of perishable, should exclude the growth and reproduction of bacteria that have a detrimental effect.
An ideal breeding ground for bacteria can be described as dark, warm and moist. To slow down the growth of bacteria, you will need to eliminate 1-2 of the above conditions.
Water bath
Creating a refrigerator with your own hands on the site is not so difficult.
You will need to choose a free place, always in the shadows.
After that, you will need to dig a small hole, where you can position the pan tightly on 5-10 liters.
Should be guided by the amount of stored products. The height of the pit is somewhat smaller than the pot with a rim, rising by 2-3 cm above the ground level.
The pan is placed in a prepared pit. It houses a smaller saucepan, like a water bath. This is a kind of cold water bath.
Conserved products, that is, fresh meat, sausages and sausages in boiled condition, fish and salads should be put in a smaller saucepan.. All this is carefully wrapped with cling film.
In a large pot poured the most cold water. The pans are covered with several layers of foil. If frozen food is available, it will add more cold, as well as possible.
This method is not suitable for products that have begun to deteriorate. Start cooking, or throw them away. The temperature of the water in a large saucepan is checked every hour since it must remain cold.
Dry pickling
The above method requires time-consuming, so at the dachas such refrigerators are often not used.
In this case, products are stored until the evening using foil, salt and spices..
Rub chicken with spices, meat, fish, then wrap in plastic wrap, place in a bowl with a lid, and then put in a cold place.
This method received the name of dry pickling. With the help of spices, the meat will not spoil, but only marinated and acquire flavor. If the meat with spices for frying does not suit you, you need to rinse and dry it.
Garlic seasoning
If you like the smell of garlic, grate it and grease sausage, chicken and meat. After that, tightly wrap in foil, squeeze out the air and arrange in a cool place.
Salt wrap
For storage of raw and smoked sausages, dried and smoked fish effectively apply salted dry cloth. If there is no time to soak in the salt solution and to dry it, sprinkle the product with salt and wrap in dry or paper towels.
This method is suitable for storing fresh chicken, which is generously rubbed with salt, and then wrapped in paper for baking, or in foil.
In the process of cooking the skin will become too salty and will be unsuitable for food. It does not matter, because chicken skin is not the most useful product.
