How did the pioneers store food?

Answer 1

they usually collect ice from winter time and create a big block of ice and keep it in a storage room and kept food with it. That would usually last on till next winter time. And a way of storing meat, is to rub salt on them and hang them. (this would prevent rotting, diseases, and bugs from going in to it.

Answer 2

People didn't worry or think about keeping food cold as we do. There were root cellars under houses or behind houses that were cool, but nothing like freezers or a refrigerator. Pioneers caught food on the trail. Everyday men would go out to hunt for small game. There was also dried/smoked meats and salted meat. For centuries salt was used to preserve food ( it still is today) and this is something the Pioneers also used.

Answer 3

They dried the meat in the sun, so the meat would last longer. They stored vegetables under ground to keep them from spoiling.
