A Cool Way to Keep Food From Spoiling
A few degrees can make a big difference when it comes to food storage.Foods can go bad if they get too warm.But for many of the world's poor,finding a good way to keep food cool is difficult.Refrigerators are costly and they need electricity.
Yet spoiled food not only creates health risks but also economic losses.Farmers lose money when they have to throw away products that they cannot sell quickly.
But in nineteen ninetyfive a teacher in northern Nigeria named Mohammed Bah Abba found a solution.He developed the “PotinPot Preservation/Cooling System.”It uses two round containers made of clay.A smaller pot is placed inside a larger one.
The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand.The inner pot can be filled with fruit,vegetables or drinks.A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system.
Food stored in the smaller pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation process.Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger pot,where drier outside air is moving.
The evaporation process creates a drop in temperature of several degrees.This cools the inner pot and helps keep food safe from harmful bacteria.Some foods can be kept fresh this way for several weeks.
