Abstract
A bread and pastry container is provided with a thermoelectric panel to set up convective currents which at their colder portions promote the condensation of humidity with the drier current portion then drawn through the container by the draft created around the hot side of the thermoelectric panel. A set of photovoltaic cells may be mounted on the container to provide the power for the thermoelectric panel.
