Ice Makers Portable

Camping Ice Maker For Convenience

Posted on August 27, 2010 by Christine

A convenience is something which, by its very nature, makes the task at hand easier, more comfortable to do, and accomplished more expeditiously than with some other device.

Have you thought about making ice makers portable? Why not?

Portable ice makers are the perfect convenience as a Camping Ice Maker
.

Camping is more comfortable when real conveniences are selected. Camping does not have to be “roughing it”. If you take a little care to select real conveniences you will be just as comfortable, eat just as appetizing food, sleep just as restfully, enjoy just as ample protection from the elements as if you were living in a summer cottage in the mountains.

If you have made up your mind that camping is living on canned and powdered milk, eating salted and smoked meat and fish, trying to whet up an appetite on dehydrated fruit and vegetables, then get over it. You can eat and drink while camping exactly the same variety of food, with all the freshness and edibility that you would enjoy at home.

This is possible because you take fresh, perishable food along on ice. And you will serve cold drinks filled with ice cubes make from your camping ice makers. If you believe in using an ice maker at home, then don’t alter your habits in that respect when you go camping.

I’ve shared my preference for the portable ice maker, but it was a very tricky decision. There’s another contender that caught my eye, literally. The colour is so lovely that I almost forgot to check out the finer details. This NewAir AI-100R Portable Icemaker is a rich red. That crimson shade that I used to drool over as a kid when passing a shoe store if it displayed shiny shoes in this same colour.

As a younger adult, I even purchased a pair of patent leather shoes in crimson to satisfy my childhood longing. But these shoes couldn’t produce ice! So I had to turf them. LOL.

The NewAir AI-100R is a tad smaller than my other choice producing up to 28 pounds of ice in a day and it starts churning out cubes within 15 minutes. It’s easy to clean and one of the qualities of these portable ice makers that I like is their ability to recycle the water from the melted ice blocks.

So if you don’t use the ones that have been produced, they will just melt and then go back through the system. I guess the downside is that they don’t hold the cubes in a freezer compartment. That’d be a great quality to incorporate into a portable ice maker!

I’m off to check out some more ice makers and I’ll make sure to keep you posted on my latest finds.

Camping Ice Makers

Posted on July 26, 2010 by Christine

I mentioned in an earlier post that I like the idea of having a portable ice maker for camping. I didn’t mention why, though. Of course, there’s the obvious that people like to pop ice into their drinks and stick the odd cube down someones top when they least expect it. But what about the perishables that would perish even more rapidly if they weren’t kept on ice?

We could carry along a couple of empty bottles or jars for the sheer purpose of filling them with ice from the ice maker to place next to the milk, yogurt, cheese etc in our esky so that they stay nice and cold and don’t spoil so quickly. Bottles and jars stay colder for longer, but you can use whatever receptacle you like.

We can run the portable ice maker from a generator and although the noise factor in running it might drive me a little nuts personally, I would prefer doing that once or twice a day for 1/2 hr or thereabouts than having to camp somewhere close to the shops.

An ice maker just opens up some options that may not have been there if we didn’t have one.

Here’s an ice maker that would be perfect for the job. Portable Ice Maker – Great for outdoors It has good reviews (and as always a couple of not so good ones to balance things out ), a 4 star rating and ranks high for RV’s, camping and the like.
