Engel Fridge vs. Peltier Cooler

Whether traveling for pleasure or work, everyone likes to have the conveniences of home with them. There are a lot of 12 volt appliances available to make life on the open road easier. From portable coffee makers to portable sandwich makers, whipping up a homemade meal is easy. With all these available accessories all you need is a place to store the food. 12 volt refrigerators are the answer. They come in a wide range of brands and sizes, but most operate under one of two methods. There is the Engel brand, which features the patented "swing pump", and the thermoelectric cooler, which uses the Peltier effect for cooling.



The Engel brand portable cooler features Engel's patented swing motor compressor. This unique motor design makes Engel coolers highly efficient. The swing motor is a true reciprocating compressor which has no high start up current draw. They contain only one moving part, which is self-lubricated, so there is no maintenance needed. This portable cooler has the ability to cycle on and off assuring the temperature is sustained. They are quiet, reliable, and have a high life expectancy of 10-20 years. These models also have a low power consumption which is perfect when running this in a truck, boat, or RV. Engel coolers are slightly more expensive and a little heavier, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Engel brand is known for their efficiency and durability.



Thermoelectric, or Peltier coolers, use the Peltier effect. This effect was discovered by the French physicist Jean-Charles-Athanase Peltier. The Peltier effect, put simply, says that electricity can cause a heat difference at the junction of two different metals. The semi conductor simply transfers heat from one side to the other, depending on DC polarity, creating a simple cooler or heater. Brands such as Roadpro, Igloo, and Coleman offer thermoelectric Peltier modules. These models are extremely light weight, and with no moving parts, they rarely require maintenance. They are a little less expensive and are also very reliable. The life expectancy is considerably shorter and they have higher power consumption. It's also hard to maintain temperature because of insulation issues. Without the ability to cycle on and off, they can drain a car battery pretty quickly and are a greater risk for over heating. Peltier coolers are also noisy. With all negatives aside, these portable 12-volt refrigerators will get the job done.



Portable coolers are a great addition to any truck, boat, or RV. They are efficient, convenient, and can save you a lot of money on meals while out enjoying the world. Choosing a 12 volt refrigerator to best suit your needs is easy. Whether you choose a thermoelectric Peltier cooler, or an Engel fridge, your 12-volt refrigerator cooler or warmer needs are sure to be satisfied. Life on the open road is a little bit easier now that there is no worry about storing food and drinks. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the trip knowing your food and beverages will be fresh and cool when you are ready for them.

What Kinds of Bread Do Indians Eat?

Bread is a staple food in India, neck to neck with Rice. Normally referred to as Roti, in the local dialect, the surge in the growth of the cereals and grains has led to this roti being formed and shaped into many different varieties. Each variety differing from the other in the ingredients used in the preparation, shape, size, texture and the most important one of all, the taste. The method of cooking for these 'roti's' differs all across the Indian sub continent with the roti generally being composed of flour made from wheat, rice, corn or lentils. The different forms of roti have all been given unique identifiers such as Phulka, Chapati, Parathas, Rumali, Naan, Puri, Phefras, Do-patris and Bhatia.



Most of the Indian bread varieties are composed of wheat and they can be segmented further into three kinds: Breads roasted on a griddle, bread that is friend and the bread that is baked.



The roasted version is the most popular form of the Indian bread, known as the chapatti. This kind of bread is made of unleavened flour and water, with the dough being kneaded and the bread being rolled out of it. The bread is sometimes puffed out by dropping it on the hot coals for a few minutes, the end result being a Phulka. There are times when the bread is kneaded with milk and water and is very thin; these are called the Khakras in Western India. The other variant of the roasted bread is the Rumali where the dough is kneaded, stretched and then tossed into the air several times before being roasted.



Fried breads, which are equally popular in India, refer to the breads which are shallow fried in fat after being rolled out into a triangular or a square shaped size. At times certain seasonal vegetables including potatoes or fenugreek seeds are kneaded into the dough and then fried; these kinds of breads are identified as Parathas. The other kind of fried bread is the puri, which is round, puffy and deep fried in oil. The flavor of the Puri is enhanced at times with the adding of a few poppy seeds or lentils and is generally served during the festive seasons. The hugely popular South Indian variety is the Dosa, created from a batter of rice and Urad dal, the batter is spread on an oiled pan and then fried.



Certain types of Indian bread are baked in either the modern electric ovens or the Indian styled clay ovens called the Tandoor. The Naan is a perfect example for baked bread; its dough is leavened first before being baked in the Tandoor. At times the nigella seeds or the saffron water is used to give the Naan a distinct flavor by adding it to the dough. The taste of the Naan could be made to vary by the addition of garlic paste, dates, cottage cheese [paneer] as well as almonds to the dough.

Indian breads are always accompanied by vegetables, sweet dishes as well as curries. For many an Indian, the bread is one of the main staple foods, with most of the Indian households partaking bread during all the three meals of the day. The Indian breads consist of complex carbohydrates as well as dietary fiber; therefore the consumption of it makes for quite a nutritious and wholesome meal.

Marvelous Messy Fun that Little Kids Love


Share fun and giggles with your children. These engaging ideas will captivate and stimulate your child’s senses and ignite your child’s thirst for learning.

1. Fingerpainting with a twist. Try different fingerpaints besides the traditional store bought kind. For example: Chocolate pudding paint. Just buy a can of ready-made pudding from the grocery store. Or Jello finger painting: Mix together 1 package of Jello and 2 Tbsp hot water in a small bowl being careful not to overmix. Let cool 5 to 10 min. before using. Paint on tin foil for a neat effect. For some more edible food craft ideas visit http://create-kids-crafts.com.

2. Play dough. Play dough is fun to squish, squash and create with. No need to go out and buy some, there’s a great recipe below. Make an easy playdough rose for an idea: 1. Roll out a thin, long snake and press it flat. Loosely roll it up like a rug from one end to the other. Spread and press each layer out a bit. 2. For the leaves, flatten a piece of play dough with your hands. Cut out 2 leaf shapes with a plastic knife and press them onto the bottom of the rose. For a photo of the playdough rose and other cool playdough creations for kids(little and big) visit my web site below.

3. Bubble blowing without tears. Here’s a great recipe that uses “tearless” baby shampoo that won’t sting eyes if bubbles get splattered in little eyes. 3 cups water, 1 cup baby shampoo, 1/3 cup light corn syrup. Mix all together in a large bowl.

4. Oobleck. Who says small children have short attention spans? This alone fascinated my 2 yr. old at the time for 45 minutes. Recipe: 1 cup cornstarch, 1/3 cup water, 5 to 7 drops food coloring(optional). Mix water and food coloring together. Slowly add cornstarch. Do not stir. Let the mixture stand for 1 to 2 minutes. Pick a handful of the oobleck up and squeeze it until it forms a hard ball. Open your hand and the oobleck will turn from a solid back into a liquid. If it gets too dry after awhile, just add a bit more water.

Kool-Aid Playdough Recipe(Adult assistance and supervision required)

1 cup flour
½ cup salt
1 small pkg. unsweetened Kool-Aid (6 g pkg)
1 ½ Tbsp cooking oil
1 c boiling water

Mix flour, salt, oil and Kool-Aid. Add boiling water; stir and knead until cooled and smooth. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. This playdough will be the color and scent of the Kool-Aid you used.

Remember to supervise little kids with these ideas to ensure that with some of the ideas they don’t put things in their mouth.
