If camping happens to be one of your favorite summertime activities, you probably own a portable fridge, also known as a cooler. It’s one of the most useful things you could possibly bring along, as long as you pack it right and take proper care of it. If that’s something that interests you, these useful tips will help you get there.
Top to Bottom
It’s recommended to always pack your portable fridge in reverse, and keep the foods you want to eat right away at the top. Frozen foods, especially meat, are best packed at the very bottom of the fridge because they’ll stay cold for longer and help cool the rest of the fridge’s content.
Keeping It Cool
You shouldn’t open up your fridge too often to help its content stay cold for longer, but this isn’t the only trick you can use. You should also make sure to keep it out of the sun, place it somewhere with enough shade, and allow airflow around the fridge to make it more efficient.
Food vs. Drinks
Separating foods from drinks inside your portable fridge can do you a lot of good in the long run. As bottles and cans condensate, they’ll release moisture that could accumulate on the food and make it wet and soggy, so it’s better to keep them separate.
