Over the last couple of weeks there has been an article from treehugger.com floating around Facebook, Reddit, and Pinterest highlighting Korean designer, Jihyun Ryou’s five creative ways to store food without a fridge.
The designer’s goal was “re-introducing and re-evaluating traditional oral knowledge of food, which is closer to nature,” by using objects to make this knowledge visible. The designs are super modern looking with clean lines and things like sand and water mounted to your wall. And, I have to admit, they do look cool, despite being kind of impractical. In light of their impracticality, and because we’ve lived without a fridge for the last 9 months, I’m offering up some practical answers to Ryou’s modern artworks; while less artistic, everyday homesteaders can apply them to their own kitchens.

Are we vegetarian? Are we switching to raw foods? How do we plan to keep meat from going bad? What about lunch meat? Well, it’s pretty simple. When meat is on our menu, roughly three days a week in the summer time, I go out to the chest freezer in the garage, retrieve the prescribed package of protein and let it defrost on a plate on the counter, just in time to get cooked up for dinner. We generally don’t buy much in the way of meat from the grocery store. When I announced this project, my mom, who really does think I’ve lost it completely, asked about the Thanksgiving turkey. The other question a few people asked me (people who admitted they hadn’t been following along from the beginning) was where would we get the ice, since the fridge was unplugged and we were using the freezer compartment as a cooler?
So far, the switch hasn’t actually been too drastic.
