ABSTRACT:
The instant invention is directed to a counter-top service bowl for chilling various foods and beverages. A miniaturized refrigeration system is secured to the outer surface of the bowl having an evaporator coil disposed within a coil chamber. Air is directed through the chamber and into the middle of the bowl cavity. At the bottom of the bowl is a series of holes lining the bottom of the bowl for induction back into the circulation chamber. In operation the bowl acts as a chiller wherein solid foods such as fruit is chilled by air circulation and associated contact along the surface of the bowl. A bowl liner insertable into the base bowl permits placement of non-solid foods such as fruit salads. The bowl liner seals the circulation chamber forcing air past an evaporator coil and outward through an exhaust port. The bowl liner can be removed for use as a conventional bowl and returned to maintain the chilled condition. A transparent cover allows for increased efficiency of the cooling system while various bowl inserts allow placement and chilling of peculiar beverage containers such as wine bottles.
