What food can I buy that doesn't need refrigerated.

[ssd]

Fridge freezer broken. Have teens needing food. Don't want tins. Have microwave. Not dinner, more lunch, snack food

help!!!

Fresh vegetables, especially root veg, will be fine without a fridge, Store potatoes somewhere dark.
Other things that don't need a fridge are Long life milk, butter, honey, eggs, apples.
Pasta sauce in jars, with any dried pasta would be fine for teenagers. Shop regularly for fresh food like meat and fish.

Do you have any cool blocks that a neighbour could freeze for you, or lend you some, to put in the cool bag? Many people have all sorts of things for picnics and camping that they are unlikely to be using at this time of year.

If your teens are being that fussy I would send them out on a daily basis to buy meat/sausages
otherwise
you have
onions, tin toms, pasta, rice, potatoes and plenty of tinned veggies

snack food?
eggs
bread

If it's only lunch and snacks that's easy.

Sandwiches/toast with something from a jar e.g. nutella, peanut butter, marmite, honey. Butter is fine unrefrigerated.

Cupboard snacks - fruit, veg (peppers, carrot, tomatoes arent refrigerated in the supermarket), crisps or breadsticks, cake bars and biscuits, bread based snacks like crumpets

Dinner is more difficult, if you want meat it might need to be shopped for daily.

What do you mean they don't like tins?

So they don't eat tinned tuna? Baked beans? No brand of tinned soup? Tinned fruit salad? Rice pudding? Spaghetti hoops? Nothing at all that comes from a tin?

Pasta and fresh/jar pasta sauce
Macaroni cheese - store cheese in a cool place.

Pizza
Omelette
Rice
Omelette

Can you store food in a cool place - garage? Fod like cheese, ham etc will be fine in there.

Also, can you get a neighbour to freeze some freeze locks and use a cool bag to store food?

We had a week of no fridge in the summer so we ate fairly normally but had to shop most days and put stuff in a cool box. However we've been camping before (,in weather that was 25°) and found that longlife milk and bacon lasted a whole w/e in a cool box with no ice!!

It might help if you gave us an idea of the sort of food they usually like to eat? Unless you live in the middle of nowhere surely the teens can go to the shops and buy what they need? . Lots of food doesn’t have to be stored in the fridge.

If you have a camping shop near you they do pouches of food that people use for things like DofE that just need putting in pan of boiling water.

How can you say they don't like tins. What does that even mean? Will they seriously not eat soup, beans, tuna, sweetcorn, peas etc just because it comes in a tin .

Stuff the broken fridge your problem seems to be you have incredibly fussy privileged children.

Gnocchi, pasta, rice, fresh pastry made from flour, pizza bases, jacket potatoes - to which you can add sauce/fillings such as tuna? Can you use a cool box, outside/in garage to keep basics chilled.

tuna sounds great

If they don't like tins, then maybe they'd prefer to go hungry? Ridiculous.

Thinking of snacks most of what my DS eats as snacks isn't refrigerated
Peanut butter sandwiches / on toast
Marmite on toast
Fruit
Crisps and nuts
Breadsticks
Scrambled eggs on toast
Bagels
Crumpets
Scones
Flapjacks
Cereal (milk kept in cool box outside/garage)

UHT milk-I use so little it's not worth buying fresh.
