Abstract
A cooling enhancement device causes rapid cooling of an item placed within a cooling unit. The device includes a temperature simulating arrangement (e.g., including a heat generating element adjacent a temperature sensor of the cooling unit) to simulate an artificial temperature within the cooling unit. In one example, the device includes a control system connected to control the operation of the temperature simulating arrangement. The device also includes a setting component to provide user control. In one example, the setting component is connected to communicate a rapid cooling setting input by the user to the control system.
