In Spain we have the famous "botijo" that's used for keeping water cold, and also, for drinking.
Thing is, this only works in dry climate. A friend with several Spanish restaurants in Japan brought some botijos with him, and being Tokyo very humid in summer, they didn't work at all and kept "sweating" water.
- tharkun__ 6y agoI'm curious how this works. My first theory is that clay pots will actually let water evaporate. Kind of like you need to water plants in terra cotta planters more often in summer. Evaporation having a cooling effect - like humans sweating.
- abandonliberty 6y agoThe botijo has the property that once filled, it cools the water that it contains, acting as an evaporative cooler..
