Just hang a six pack from your car mirror and take a ride. It will be cold in minutes at fifty five mph. You could loose it at a stop sign but might make some new friends in the process. Sticking it in front of the car radiator works well also if you already have enough friends.

This is "invention" is silly. It MIGHT have some use in vending machines other than that its not very practical at all.

It's all very well, but i think one of the root issues that screws up the world is that people want stuff immediately and see no need to have some patience or forethought, or the wish to compromise and consider consequences. I know i'm being a cynical git by having my little vent in your thread.... But i'm still right

but our microwaves won't come w/o the "freeze" option for much longer. It will be in most homes.

It will become a favorite of commercial kitchens and restaurants. The ability to chill a bottle of Dom before it is served...that is quite nice. Especially if i don' t have to take up space in the walk in (where it is less secure than my wine cellar or liquor closet). But the food safety implications?
Imagine you have a 10 gallon pot of beans. The labor involved in cooling it to the proper temperature within the legally required amount of time to ensure it is safe to eat can be tedious, and a risk fo scalds. To be able to cool it quicker, so it can be transferred into other containers while cool is a very nice touch.
Although a blast chiller does a nice job of a lot of the rapid freeze type of stuff.
I agree, it will become great for restaurants to meet their health codes! ....we used to make gallons of marinara at a time, and it took forever to cool down to the proper temperature . Only when it is cooled are you allowed to put it in the refrigerator, because if it goes In hot it will raise the temp of the fridge and potentailly make all the other food unsafe . So....I can see for restaurants and bars this would work nicely!

I agree Nighthawk. That's why I'm going to write you a response letter with my thoughts and mail it to ATS and have them forward it to you. Just kidding Haha

You guys are talking about cooling down beans and marinara sauce to then be able to put those foods in a refrigerator?? Seriously? Why would you add an extra step for no reason? It doesn't make sense to use this on something that isn't going to be immediately consumed.

Because...time is money! And when you are paying your restaurant employees by the hour...it is smarter and cheaper to take the extra step.., and get it done quicker! .....cool your food quickly so it can be put away quickly....also, kitchen employees get to go home sooner ...which at the end of a long busy night, everyone wants to go home and get the hell out of there! So they will be happier, too. Plus, you don't run the risk of putting warm food into your refrigerator , raising the temp inside the fridge, and spoiling the current food in the fridge. You are avoiding a food loss scenario. Which also, is money! .....
I'm thinking in a business monetary advantage, while you, my friend , are milking the clock the lazy way.
