Reconnecting with Nature’s Cooling Power: The Food Cellar Reimagined
Long before the hum of refrigerators filled our kitchens, food cellars, also known as root cellars, were the cornerstone of food preservation. Groundfridge revives this ingenious concept, bringing it into the 21st century with innovative design and materials. This modern food cellar offers a substantial 3000 liters of storage space – enough room for approximately 146 homemade apple pies, a considerable wine collection, or even enough space for two adults to stand comfortably! It’s the ideal environment for maintaining the freshness of vegetables, fruits, cheeses, wines, and other perishables. Here’s how this natural cooling marvel works:
Space Considerations for Your Food Cellar
To accommodate a Groundfridge food cellar, you’ll need an area of roughly 25 square meters. This could be in your backyard, behind your restaurant, at a bustling festival site, a relaxed beach bar, or any location where natural cooling is a valuable asset. Importantly, Groundfridge typically doesn’t require building permits, making it a hassle-free addition to your property. The question isn’t if you can have a food cellar, but where you will place your Groundfridge.
Installation: Embracing the Earth for Natural Cooling
The Groundfridge food cellar is designed for ease of transportation and installation due to its lightweight construction. The installation process is straightforward and eco-friendly. There’s no need to remove and dispose of excess soil; instead, the excavated earth is used to cover the Groundfridge. A layer of about 1 meter of soil acts as effective natural insulation, maintaining a stable internal temperature. Once covered, you can sow grass or plant flowers on top, effectively camouflaging your food cellar, leaving only the entrance door subtly visible.
Natural Cooling: The Science of the Food Cellar
Groundfridge harnesses the earth’s natural insulating properties to maintain a consistent temperature range between 8 to 15 degrees Celsius (approximately 46 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit). While external temperatures fluctuate, the Groundfridge food cellar experiences minimal variation. It operates without any electricity consumption, relying on natural geothermal cooling. For added efficiency, a battery-powered ventilator draws in cooler night air, further enhancing the cooling process. Should you require an even more consistent temperature, an external cooler can be easily integrated.
Effortless Living with Your Underground Food Cellar
Why settle for an ordinary kitchen refrigerator when you can have an adventure in food storage? Retrieving your fresh produce from the Groundfridge food cellar becomes an enjoyable ritual. Grab a bag or basket, step outside, and access your personal trove of fresh goods. The built-in shelving system maximizes storage capacity and organization within the food cellar. And for peace of mind, the door is lockable, ensuring your prized apple pies and other provisions are safe and secure.
